"Get yer kilt, we're going to the Champions League" - FMFormation.net - Football Manager

Well i thought up this tactic while I was playing in the lower leagues of scottish football, and i think it has an appeal to it, so here goes...

"Get yer kilt, we're off to the Champions League"

Basically the aim of the challenge is to begin managing a Scottish 3rd Division Team, and take then to SPL and Champions League glory, using only british players.

There will be no time limit on this challenge as it is a very a very difficult challenge and putting a time limit on it could make it even harder, even though a football manager genius could actually complete this challenge in 5 seasons, but i will crack the jokes. Realistically i think the quickest this challnge could be completed in will be 10 seasons, however if anyone does it quicker, I would liked to be proved wrong :P

The Rules

Load a game with Scottish leagues only, with third division and above selected, a medium database and attribute masking enabled. Load additional players from Britain

Add yourself as a manager with past experience set to 'automatic' and select any team in the Scottish Third Division that you wish to manage.

You may not move clubs unless you are sacked, in that case you may take over another third division club, or start the challenge again.

International management in not allowed.

Thread Rules

Player naming is allowed. (This is a warning for those of you who do not wish to see this)

Discussion of tactics is allowed. (This is another warning for those of you who do not wish to see this)

Screenshots for anything are encouraged.

Could you please post a screenshot of your manager profile as soon as you take over at a new club.

Progress of your club should be documented using this thread, we want to hear the story of your club all the way through. Please keep us updated, even if you are doing really badly.

Sorry for the length of the thread, however, thank you and good luck eveyone!!!
