I want to start managing in Ligue 1, but having really hard time to pick a team. Im torn between managing Montpellier, Best an Auxerre. I would like to manage a team that I can devalop and in 1-2 season fight for european competitions. Im lookin to manage in France for 3-4 seasons than move to a bigger league when my reputation increases.
Pros and cons:
Montpellier: best finanses, biggest budget, biggest stadium with 32000 capacity, good balance of some top talents and experianced players. I love the 3d kits and I like the history of the club. With some luck I could get the club in european competition the first season. Is it to easy?
Brest: 0 in budget, but some good players that can eventually be sold for profit. Smallest stadium with 15000 capacity. I love the 3d kits and they have a decent team. A club thats in a middle of pack. Not good enough to push for Europe the first season. Historically there best ever position in Ligue 1 was 8. place.
Auxerre: ok budget that lets me buy a few very cheap talents. First team wil need a huge reinvestment, but with some cheap talents it can work. Small stadium with 19000 capacity. Some decent players, but generally no talents. I like the history of the club and its a club thats good for devaloping talents. I find a 3d kits boring to watch, they are plain white. :-) First season is all about not to get relagated.
Any toughts please? do you have experiance managing this clubs or in France generally?
