For a long while I've been thinking of doing a Manager Story on this site. The only problem was deciding which team to play as.
I was considering playing as my favourite team Arsenal, but frankly that's far too mainstream and being a top team at the start? A bit unrealistic.
So naturally I then, being Kentish, considered my local(ish) team Gillingham. But again, guiding a team from League 2 to the Premiership is a bit mainstream.
Then I considered guiding a team like San Marino to World Cup glory. Then I looked at other stories and swiftly shelved that idea as, again, too mainstream.
But then an interesting challenge arose for me. I thought that it might be fun to guide a team from a middle of the road European League to Champions League glory. So my first thought was Basel in Switzerland until I saw them against Tottenham the other night and realised they were quite a good team so it wouldn't be as challenging as I would like to be.
So then I thought of the Austrian League. It has a decent amount of history as a footballing nation and has hit tough footballing times recently so it should be challenging. I picked Austria Wien because I remember playing as them on FIFA 08 or 09, I don't really remember which, so I thought it would be interesting to play them on Football Manager as my first Managerial Story.
So here we go. My next post will contain club details or I may edit them in here.
PS. I would really appreciate it if someone could show me how to screenshot tables and stuff from the game since I've never done one of these before
