Football Manager 2011 - Lower League Management

In anticipation of the release of Football Manager 2012 I decided to reinstall FM2011.

My team of choice is Hyde United, based in the Blue Square North Division it is as low as you can start. My plan is to get them into the Premiership and eventually become English and European Champions. This isn't going to be easy, they have a tiny stadium with a capacity of only 4000 (550 seated), poor training facilities and wage budget of only 3.5k per week.

Check out the club details below to see what I've got to work with:


So over he next few week I'll be giving you updates on my progress and any tips I can think of for managing a lower league team.

LLM - Assistant Manager

So you're now the proud owner of a lower league club with no money or resources. What is the first thing you do? Sack everybody! Your starting staff are going to be complete rubbish and you're going to have to build this club from the ground up. The most important staff member you are going to have is the Assistant Manager, he can do everything: Manages your Reserve and Under 18 team. Scout teams and players. Trains your players. Gives you feedback during matches. Much much more. Your Assistant Manager needs good stats in almost every attribute, now you're not going to get Alex Ferguson so be realistic. After many hours of searching I found Brian Caswell, his stats are all around 10 or so and I think thats the best I'm going to get for a Blue Square North club, he also has some knowledge of a few European countries which can come in handy when scouting players, check him out below.
