How would you guess like to see updates posted? I want to appeal to followers/readers.

Yep. Not only your point about dominating domestically but to improve the coefficient, Hungarian teams NEED to be competing in Europe too. So it’s going to be a fine balance of me reigning in Hungary but bringing along the rest of the league for some European fun!

I’m really excited to get stuck in! Interesting point about a tactic - it’s not something I’d considered but could be a really great spin on the thread. Research needed for sure - happy for anyone’s input too though Thank you, glad to have you on board It’s about retention I guess. Those that may not make my team will stay on my books to I control where they do actually play. An that will be in Hungary. Anything that makes those around us stronger, to compete in Europe. No point losing talent to other nations. Thanks mate!

Updates We wont be doing month by month updates as they are pointless and i really want this save to be a long one. I'' keep updates coming for how the 3 squads look at the club and later into the save, looking to use the legendary 'Loan Farm' from @SecondYellowCard. As well as building up Honved, we need to help the other teams around us grow too so they can compete in Europe and help grow the co-efficient. We will track how domestic clubs are fairing iun Europe and how Hungary compete on the International stage. Main focus too will be around the co-efficient score and how thats helping Hungary to climb the ranks. So... Club wise, we have a really good set up. Im happy with the facilities and the fact we are a pro club. We are starting out in the second division so we need promotion forst and foremost. Hungary currently sit 36th in the WR and 24th in Europe. Domestically, the league (Div 1) rep sits at 27th, English Championship is up in 18th for comparision. Will track this best we can, but at the start, im using the 5.875 figure form the 2022/23 season. Go well fellow Hungarians, see you soon

This save is built on the idea of a Build A Nation save, with inspiration mainly taken from @mpm2342 and YouTuber @SecondYellowCard. The premise of the save will be to not only build a side to become European Champions but also build a nation to climb the World and Co-Efficient rankings. This is my first solid attempt at this and we will be using the nation of Hungary, whilst managing Budapest Honved, for this journey. Why Hungary? Believe it or not, during the 1950s, Hungary were a dominant force on the International scene, where they had Olympic success, remianing unbeaten for 2 years, as well as being runners up in the 1954 World Cup. Behind this success, was Ferenc Puskas, who we are familair with to this day thanks to the FIFA Puskas award. Hungary were widely regarded for creating the fundementals of Total Football, which would later lay the baseline for the dutch variation which we all know and love, A slow decline then ensued, with Hungary eliminated from the 1986 World Cup, they then faield to qualify for a mjor tournament for over 30 years. Forward onto the 2000's and they have featured at 3 consecutive European Championships. Why Budapest Honved? With Hungary dominating the international scene in the 1950's, Honved were the powerhouse domestically, winning 5 out of 7 championships. 5 Honved players made up the spine of the legendary national team as the wreaked havoc. A decline to match that of the national team took decades to recover from with a bright spell from 1982 to 1994 which saw several league and cup triumphs. Another decline soon followed; on the final say of the 2022/23 season, the club were relegated from the Hungarian top flight. Save Aims Restore Honved to be a dominant force domestically Rebuild Hungary to once again compete nationaly, earning back the Might Maygers nickname Win the Champions League with Honved Win the World Cup with Hungary

Sorry im late to the party but ive only just seen this thread - welcome back Pete, amazing to see you back here!

Youth Intake (2024) Preview Im really not sure what to make of this but, rated excellent, someones happy.

Progress Update - October 2023 10 games in and we're progressing really nicely. I was disappointed to lose the cup game but we will foucs our attentions elewhere. The squad is a bit think, Irish clubs (due to the way i have the DB i think) have alot of contract expiring in November so we will look to bolster the ranks.

A new signing! A bit of a throwback and possibly Wexford's 'biggest' ever signing?

Season Preview 2023/24 We are not fancied, not one bit, a relegation scrap is predicted Transfer wise, as im playing in 'Real World' mode, all of these transfer were pre determined for me. We will lose one key player, Conor Levingston, in July - hes off to Drogheda United and on a free too

Start of save Reputations and Co-Efficients SSE Airtricity League Premier Division Currently sits at rank 74th, just a place behind the English League Two - this shows the task at hand SSE Airtricity League First Division My current league - whilst im not planning on being here for too long, its rep will need to improve as the save progresses Republic of Ireland Currently 35th in the World on the Co-Efficient rankings. Northern Ireland just 8 places behind. 2024 will see an International tournament in the form of the European Championships, Ireland might be there...

An Introduction to Wexford FC I have decided to take over as First Division side, Wexford FC. I like thier kits, the fact they are relatively newly founded and dont have too much history about them. I was also drawn by the supporters culture & expectations, something i can easily buy into. The starting squads look good to me too, but with no transfer budget and a maxed out wage budget, we're going to have to do some wheeling and dealing. Main Under 19

Introduction Welcome to my latest save, a save dedicated to rebuilding Ireland. For this save, im using a database created by @ZahnZee (found here) so i can have the season being played over winter, allowing me to align with European competitions, rather then a summer based season with a winter break. To quote him; The Republic of Ireland is an under developed location for Football Manager saves. The League both benefits and suffers from it's proximity to the English game; being an open training group with no foreign player restrictions; but also a siphon for all the young talent off the Island and into English academies. It's not unusual for a Republic of Ireland squad to not contain a single player playing their domestic football here. Ireland can be more, oh so much more That quote is the inspiration behind the goals of the save - rebuild a solid rep at club and national level, stop easily losing players over seas and make Ireland competitive on the national and club level main stages! Im starting off with no badges and no experience, my stats are shocking.

Closing this save/thread due to an error with finances, poor posting here and a saving error. Time to let JLAB continue the good work in Hungary, i'll be back - with an Irish twist....

We absolutely blew them away and the European dream is very much on, 3 to go, its in our hands!

A better April has seen us still, somehow, right in the running for the European spots coming into the final 4 games of the season. We could do with MTK Budapest losing thier game in hand - we play the already crowned champions, Ferencvarosi next

As we appraoch the final month of the season (and a seperate update), i wanted to share the matches we had after the winter break. This too coincided with last nights update.... I had so many injuries to contend with too. Was it the update? Did we just simply not recover after the winter break?

The Class of 2025 Two elite talents coming through this year, backed up by one top talent.

Mid Season Update - 2024/25 With the bookies giving us no chance having us favourites to be rock bottom of the league, im obviously delighted with how we are looking right now! Ferencvarosi are a whopping 10 points clear, they are the big boys of the league, currently sitting with a cool 6 million in the bank (compared to my 1.2m). If we can keep plugging away, im quielty confident we could qualify for Europe in only our first top flight season. Big performer so far is the beast, Sambou Sissoko, who has just been amazing for us, didnt join us until we were 3 games into the season but has since produced 12 solid performances in the league and has a average rating 7.63 in all comps. We now on the winter break so plan is to scout about for a few potential free signings for this window and shorlist prepping for next summer.

Doing a similar save but with Pecsi, sad to see them relegated on your save Well done on a nice league win!

Lost my way with the thread a little but posts will be more informative moving forwards.
