its not as easy as older versions of football manager/champ man where u could fly up the leagues which was quite easy by bringing in the right players, even goin from league one to prem is difficult on fm 2008 because its more in depth with the training and infastructure at the clubs. It takes season after season to slowly build a club with the realistic financial restrictions on 2008.
I tried with sutton utd who r a big conference south team and couldnt get past league one (i was gonna get relegated so i stopped playin) as i couldnt get decent enough players to come and had no investment or support from the board.
p.s if u could get to the championship with redditch that would be impressive
good luck on your game |
