Its time for a new save since we're not getting fm25 until March 25 so I've download an updated database from Sortitoutsi. I'm wanting something to get stuck into that will keep me going for a few months and will hopefully keep people interested in the save as well. I've put a lot of thought into what to do with even trying to do a poll on here with very little success there with interaction. Looking to try and stay away from England and Germany as the money just makes it a lot easier when you get to the top. I'm wanting to do a mix of promoting youth players through to the first team and trying to conquer Europe.
With that I've decided to go to France and start in the lower leagues with FC Sochaux-Montbéliard.
Sochaux was founded by Jean-Pierre Peugeot, a prominent member of the Peugeot family, and is one of the founding members of the first division of French football. The club has won both Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France twice and have also won the Coupe de la Ligue. Sochaux's last honour came in 2007 when the club, defeated favourites Marseille 5–4 on penalties in the 2007 Coupe de France Final
Sochaux is known for its youth academy, which has regularly finished in the top ten rankings of youth academies in France. The academy has produced several notable talents, such as Yannick Stopyra, El-Hadji Diouf, Jérémy Ménez, Bernard Genghini and Benoît Pedretti, among others. The club were a regular in the top flight, until relegation in 2014 to Ligue 2.
The club was sold by Peugeot in 2015 and financal problems which all caught up with them at the end of the 2023 season where the DNCG confirmed the administrative relegation of Sochaux to Championnat National due to their financial crisis. The club is now back under Frech ownership and we will look to take them back to the top of French football utilising the youth academy to get us there as we will look to overthrow PSG as the power house of French football before conquering Europe.
Board Vision
The board seem to want us to try and rise up the leagues quite quickly which is fine for this season but will make things interesting the following couple of seasons as we look to try and bring through young players into the fold so hopefully this doesn't upset them as I certainly see it as more of a long term project.
Supporters Vision
Well the fans want the same as the board this season which will be the main objective to start our journey back up and they want us to develop players as well which is going to be the key thing for us this season.
Squad
Its a very young squad but there is pockets of experience which are going to be vital this season as we could definitely do with stronger players across the squad but we will take the hand we've been dealt and take it from there as we enter the transfer window with no expectations to bring in anybody else unless we really need to
