--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERALL
What I would say is, if you are looking for a challenge and an enjoyable game, consider Fiorentina.You have a relativly young squad so it wont need new, younger players brought in for about 3/4 seasons. Even when players like Mutu are too old, you have players like Pazzini who are more than capable than covering for them. Do NOT sell; Alex, Montolivo, Pazzini and Toni. Also, with the 15 point reduction, relegation could be a real possibility if you don't get at least 9/10 for every match in the Serie A. I would ignore Itialian Cups etc for the time being and try and concentrate on staying up this season
I hope this guide has
encouraged you to take over Fiorentina and if you do, I hope this guide has made it easier for you! GOOD LUCK!
