Football Manager 2008 - Offline Challenge


Hearts of Vladland

Recommended Posts

Hearts of Vladland

The aim of this challenge is, instead of taking control of a club/nation like you may normally do so; instead you will begin the game unemployed and your reputation should be set as Sunday league footballer. To become employed, you will need to apply for a job and accept a contract, this is more than likely to be from a non-league/lower league side. You will need to load up leagues from the following countries in Europe: England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany.

 

The aim is then to work your way up the divisions until you are managing one of the biggest clubs in Europe, those being the teams listed below:

 

England

 

  • Manchester United
  • Arsenal
  • Chelsea
  • Liverpool

 

Spain

 

  • F.C. Barcelona
  • Real Madrid
  • Valencia

 

Italy

 

  • AS Roma
  • Inter Milan
  • AC Milan

 

Germany

 

  • Bayern Munich

 

France

 

  • Lyon

 

 

Once you've received the managerial position at one of the above mentioned clubs, you will have completed the Unemployment Challenge !

 

 

Screen-shots of your career path will need to be provided to show that you have not cheated and taken over any clubs. If anything looks suspicious, I impose the right to ask for further proof.

I'm up for giving this a go.

 

If it's do be done in the correct spirit of the challenge though, then the quoted part above is important. The last time we were set a challenge, guys were signing the likes of Andy Driver for Rushden for ?100k and saying they were just lucky :rolleyes:

If they say that then I'll ask how the Hearts manager was at the time and ask for Screen-shoot of the manager's career.

You'll get a job in Scotland before long when some manager gets sacked.

I've done this on most Football Managers. Challenge was to load up Italy, Spain, Scotland and England.

 

Aim was to get to the top of the Hall of Fame from unemployed. I did always start with a professional past, to get a wee start.

 

I can't get in to the new FM though. There's so many screens on the match day.

Perhaps a good thing they might be thinking about offering you the job.

I'm giving this a go.

 

Up until the end of August, still unemployed.

It's frustrating that we are all only offered the same job, I'll keep plodding along but maybe we should change the rules slightly, mainly because it's better that we all don't manage the same team?

I dont know about that lol,

theyre a difficult challenge, theyve just been promoted from the div below & they have a 2000-1 chance of winning the league & hardly any players wanna come to them as your media prediction is 18th

 

any players that DO come that arnt on a FT contract get snapped up by bigger clubs so either way youre up sheet creek, i managed to get them to 8th postition, IMO some acheviment considering you have most of the top division reserve teams playing in the league.

 

next season my media prediction is 8th, so hopefuly one of 2 things'll happen.

 

1 is they become a professioonal club & i can bring in players

2. i get offered a better job & GTF outta there! :dribble::dribble::dribble:

 

option 2 plz!!!

My PC would run too slow if I selected every league from every nation so I'll not bother with the challenge. I'll carry on with all leagues from Scotland, upto League Two in England, and every other country has two divisions.
