Hey,
I'm currently 8 seasons into a Scottish Prem save using my local team. The challenge for the first 3-4 years was to stabilise the finances and develop the team into one which can challenge Celtic. I achieved this after a few years and in my 4th season I won the league - it coincided with a poor season from Celtic where they only finished 4th. I retained the title the following season before losing the next one on the last day to Celtic, but last season I finished 1st again.
The problem is that becoming a power in Europe would be very unrealistic and would probably take at least 15-20 seasons to achieve - currently in the Champions League I get destroyed by the 1st and 2nd seeds and only scrape 3rd if I get a kind draw. In the Europa League I can never get past the 2nd knockout round.
I could carry on building the team - my youth recruitment and facilities have been upgraded by the board and I have good coaches so I'm slowly building - but I feel like it'll be boring during those 15-20 seasons because the league will be too easy and Europe will be too hard.
Anyone else been in this situation? What do you do?
