Hello,

Since I got to reinstall CM(the game went bananas when I tried to load a save, probably cuz of all my shift from C: disk to D: and then back to C: )all my saves were deleted. So I'm looking for a new club manage here are a few clubs which are mayb fun to play:

Spain: Real Madrid, Deportivo
Portugal: Porto, Benfica
France: Lyon, Marseille
Germany: Stuttgart, Bayern Munchen
England: Liverpool, Newcastle United
Italy: Roma, Parma

which club shall I choose?

In the EPL, Liverpool is the most fun by miles for me. They have a good squad, decent money to spend, but they're tough since you have a lot of overpaid donkeys and you have to do some financial managing. Also, their coaches arent special, so it's challenging anyway. On Spain the most fun if you're considering only the great clubs is Barça... it's good to make more than 5 mil on attendance profits every month.:mrpimp: Also, Atletico Madrid are a good club to manage, their squad is average to decent but they've got some money to spend plus there is Fernando Torres.(H)

Marseille man! :rockman:

They have lots of money to spend (15m), and the players you start with suck (mostly)... so you can have lots of fun constructing your squad from scratch. the players have pretty good reputation so you can sell them even though their attributes aren't that good. the only strong points are goalie, left mid, and 2 strikers.... If you're the kind of player like me, that likes to scout around the world looking for unknown young players, and build your squad around them then Marseille is for you (Y)

EPL is my fav league to play with, but it's impossible to get work permits. Real Madrid would be no fun to play with, too easy.

You should manage Swit Nowy Dwor from Poland Div 1 or Szczakowianka from Poland Div 2. LOL

*cough* PSV *cough*:D ;) No, from that list I would choose Parma, this clun always attracted me (IRL). Maybe you should try to play with a smaller team, it's so much more fun, teams I like:

PSV (;))
Fiorentina
Mallorca
HSV
Middlesbrough
basically all teams in low divisions

I'm gonna have to say Marsielle as well. From what I read of Kaders it seems quite good. The other teams would be too hard.
Parma are cash strapped and you have too sell players like Frey, Bayern would be too easy as would Real.
I wouldn't go into England cause of the work permit situation, it can kill your game really :(

I like to play with Tottenham. They have a good squad and not a lot of money. Playing with massive clubs just spoils the fun IMO.

Marseille is good....but then again I am smuggling them money from Real Madrid:rolleyes:

I like the French League...doesn't take much too compete in it.

Plus the non-EU restrictions allows u to have up to 5 non-EU dressed and I don't think there is a limit on how many non-EU u own.

I don't like leagues with no competitive clubs:kader:

Roma (just sell totti and buy Braathen, totti does not deserve a capital letter).

Tthen there is Atletico, rich with a crap squad.

Ajax are good to play with, aim for Europe.

Newcastle too.

Last time I played as Tottenham they sucked ass. They had no creative outlet in midfield so my strikers weren't getting the service.

If you want some challenge you could try to manage someone in the SPL (NOT the Old Firm). It takes a good effort to beat the Old Firm clubs, you could give it a shot.

Get rid of Van Buyten, he's useless. I sold him for 1m + 2m in monthly installments.

If you ever feel lost, you can take a look at my Marseille Game thread for some good players and tactics ;)
