Me and Graham have decided to do the Bobby Robson challenge together, we will post our transfers, results etc. in this thread.
First of all, here is the challenge;
Bobby Robson Challenge – Any Patch
The Aim
To mirror the managerial career of Bobby Robson, whilst matching and in some cases bettering his achievements.
Starting Status
Fulham Manager
Past Experience: International Footballer
Database Size: Any
Game Start Date: England (July 07)
Selected Leagues
England – Championship +
Holland– Jupiler league +
Portugal- Liga Vitalis+
Spain- BBVA +
The Challenge
Step 1.Fulham – After starting as Fulham you are to establish yourself as a manager by achieving an position of 8th or better in the EPL.
Step 2.Ipswich Town – This is the stepping-stone to your stardom, You must then take the job Ipswich Town (through application or declaring interest only). Then you must (if in championship get promoted first) in the EPL get Ipswich Town into Europe, and win the FA Cup. When in Europe and the hardest of them all win the Uefa Cup or better with them(not all in one season ) before moving to step 3.
Step 3.PSV Eindhoven – This is where it could get a bit tricky. You must then apply for the PSV Eindhoven job. During your time at PSV Eindhoven you must win the Dutch League Title back to back, J.C Shaal and again go one further than Bobby and get them into the quarter Finals of the Champions league (This doesn’t have to be achieved all in the one season.). Before you move to step 4.
Step 4.Sporting Lisbon – You must then move to Portugal and apply for the Sporting Lisbon job. Here you must win league with them, the Taca de Portugal and the Super taca, And go further then Bobby and win the Uefa cup or better (not all in 1 season)
Step 5. Porto – You then stay in Portugal and become manager of Porto where you must lead them to the league title back to back and the Taca de Portugal and the super taca . And go further then Bobby and win the Uefa cup or better, and win the Uefa supercup (not all in 1 season)
Step 6 Barcelona- You return for your second stint at Barcelona, Do one better than Bobby and lead them to league title, Then lead them to the Copa de Rey, Supercopa and Champions league glory and win the Uefa super cup and the Club World Championship (not all in one season).
Step 7 PSV Eindhoven - You return for your second stint at PSV Eindhoven. Do one better than Bobby and win the league, and the KNVB Beker then you lead them to uefa cup glory or better.(not all in one season)
Step 8 Newcastle United - Your final journey leads you back to where it all started apply for the Newcastle United job, You must better Bobby and win the EPL and the FA Cup and win the Uefa cup or better.(not all in one Season)
If you find that Ipswich Town are in the EPL already Consider yourself lucky. You must however still complete the other goals attached with the club.
At any time during the challenge you may apply for the English nation team job.
As England Manager you are to deliver international success to trophy-starved English fans by winning either the European Championships or the World Cup.
Rules
1. You must complete each step before moving on to the next. (the international goals can be done at anytime but must be offered the job)
2. If you are sacked you must take a job one division lower. E.g. if you are sacked in the EPL you must take a job in the Championship and try and win back your old job. (moral of the story is try to avoid the axe at all costs)
3. No external utilities like FM Scout should be used.
4. Winner will be the person who can complete this challenge in the least amount of time.
Thread Rules
1. Tactics and Player Buys may be discussed.
2. Screenshots and progress reports are needed (you need to prove it)
3. If the next job isn't available, you are allowed to create a new user taking over as that club and retiring to free up the job.
WISH US LUCK!

This looks a hard, yet good challenge.
I wish you both the best of luck with it.
Danny Haynes is a good signing Graham, not too sure about Fernandez though. Depends really what Fernandez you get as I've seen him turn out drastically different on each game I've played. |

RESULTS I've played my friendlies and here are the results!!! They've been pretty average but i havn't been playing my strongest side so i expected that.   (Koblenz are a good side lol)   I battered them lol SIGNINGS
I've made a good few signings so far. I'll post them in order of quality.  Signed Seyfo Soley as backup to the first team, he costs nothing so it isn't much of a risk.  Neal Eardley is my favourite youngster on the game, no matter where i am i always get him. I'm sending him on loan to Germinal Beerschot for this season and hopefully when i become Ipswich boss i will be able to sign him with them =D  Got Garvan on loan for the same reason that Graham got Haynes on loan. To get him some experience in the premier league before we get there with Ipswich. Now, for my 2 amazing signings lol. We kick off with Mbark Boussoufa.  Mbark looks great, and he's young too. Now... for my amazing find in my opinion. He looks immense for his price, i've got him on loan but i'm trying to make it permanent.  He has been amazing for me so far and i really hope i can make this deal permanent. Again, he's only young and he is going to improve more! So that's it for now. Hope you like my signings. I would like your opinions on it all :D |

Mixed results in pre season Woz, but some good signings in there!
Looks like Graham's got the edge atm, but who knows you may be sandbagging, and unleash your true form in the season!
Keep up the good work guys!!!! |
