(FM24) National League (South) to Legend
RoamingPlaymaker replied to RoamingPlaymaker's topic in FM Career Updates
Reserved for history -
We can't call it Non-League to legend, right? Welcome to my attempt at "National League to Legend" where I'll be taking charge of my local side Torquay United with no coaching badges and a Sunday league reputation, the aim? To take myself to the top and win the Premier League and Champions League. This isn't a one a club save, this is a journeyman around the English league with a view to getting to the top as quick as possible. I will be starting, as mentioned previously as Torquay United in the National League South, from there the country is my oyster, I won't be applying for jobs but when interviews come in I can then decide if I want to move on, I want it to be as realistic as possible so I will judge every job offer on that basis. Welcome to Torquay! Interestingly we are predicted to end top of the league, something I didn't realise when I decided on this save, this could be tough. The board want a playoff spot this season with a view to getting promoted to the National League next season. The supporters however expect promotion this season. We have a decent sized ground for this level and decent facilities, promotion is a must, from there, if we can gain revenue I'll then look to improve the facilities. We need to somehow improve the finances, this really can only be done via player sales or a decent run in the FA Cup, projections shows a big loss over the next three seasons. The first team squad is quite small but we do have some half-decent players there. Aaron Jarvis - Striker Tom Lapsile - Central Midfield Lewis Collins - Winger We also have a raft of highly rated youngsters in the Under 18s. Now its time to assess all the players and get a tactic sorted, I'll be back at the start of the season

2023 - FC Gifu It's been pretty hit and miss since I joined. We had a good run in October but bar that it's not been good enough for a team expected to end near the top Next season we need to be challenging the top 2 The good news for my development is the board have agreed for me to do my first coaching badge. Player of the Season/Top Goal Scorer - Yuta Okumura Young Player of the Season - Yuki Wada Top Assists - Yosuke Kashiwagi Season Team Division Position Notes & Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2023 FC Gifu Japan J3 League 9th Took over 10/8/23 Challenge Progress Club 0/10 Domestic Leagues 0/10 Domestic Cups 0/5 Continental Championships 0/1 Club World Championship International 0/5 Continental Tournaments 0/1 World Tournament -

And I have my first job, in the 3rd tier of Japan with FC Gifu Currently 10th but predicted 4th so some improvement needed. I also have a war chest of £900k to spend (but we're over wage budget) -

Thanks for your reply. What a mess!!! I'm going to give it a go then and see what happens! Think starting in South Africa may be the best way to go, get it out the way, although I know getting a job there with no badges/minimal rep is tough -

Such a shame about the bugs I've read about as I really want to start this save. Is it worth still giving it a go? What tips would you give to get around the squad registration bug? Or do I wait until the Winter update?
