Hi folks,

Iv'e seen this before but i'd like some company in trying this as it looks alot of fun and i'm done with tactic testing and actually want to enjoy a save game.

The premise is to replicate/emulate/exceed the career of SAF.

Idea referenced;
- http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot...ories/247327-sir-alex-ferguson-challenge.html
- Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge | Football Manager 2015 Let's Play: Hull City | Passion4FM



Challenge requirements
- Holiday until November 6th with the EPL and upto 4 other leagues of your choice (iv'e chosen only the SPL)
- Ferguson took over Man United on November 6th 1986. Do so using a disposable manager profile to holiday til the 6th then "add manager" to put yourself n charge of the second bottom team. Manager rep should be continentila pro license with professional (national) playing experience.
- Take over the team 2nd bottom in the Premiership - United were 2nd bottom when Fergie took over (the retire the disposable manager profile )
- Stay at this one club - Ferguson stayed at United until 2013 (27 years so take your save until season 2042/43)
- Aim to bring youth players through - Ferguson often focused on bringing youth through, notably in 1995 with the likes of Giggs, Beckham, Neville, Scholes, **** to name but a few, aka Fergie's Fledglings.
- Persuade long term players to become part of your backroom staff and/or
managers
- Scholes, Solskjaer, Bruce, Keane, Berg, Ince, Robson, Hughes, Strachan, Blanc, Robins etc
Goals
Win a domestic cup within 4 seasons - Ferguson won his first cup vs Crystal Palace in 89/90
Win a league title within 7 seasons - Ferguson won his first title in 92/93
Win a league and cup double within 8 seasons - Ferguson won his first double with United in 93-94
Win a league, cup and Champions League within 13 seasons- Ferguson won the infamous treble in 98/99
Scoreboard
Domestic Cup - 5pts
League Title - 15pts
Europa League - 10pts
Champions League - 20pts
Sir Alex Ferguson 280pts


I'm thinking for this doing the English Premier League. Anyone else up for this? I'll even throw in a prize of an amazon voucher or the likes if we get enough takers.

Maybe going to start this cause just lost interest for mine Tottenham save cause Fm is freezing a lot if I jump between FM and chrome.

If I start this how fast I should play? Well at the moment I can play almost everyday but in two weeks I don't have so much playing time.

Everyone can play at their own pace. I think that's the joy of this.
