Darren: Who should I manage in FM 2012, European round!!

Published on

Hey guys, five days ago I opened up the voting for who I’ll manage in Football Manager 2012. At this time I explained my reasoning for offering just English clubs in the voting, well I have changed my mind. I think it’s time for a change and I should at least offer you, the readers a chance to choose from different cultures. Therefore I have closed the voting on the English part of this poll and have just opened up the voting for the European teams. Below is the end result of the English poll, as you can see Norwich and QPR were the clear favourites!!

OK, so you may be wondering how this voting is going to work with two polls in place…well the top two teams from the English poll will be placed in a final poll with the top two teams from the European poll. This will be decided in 5 days time and that final poll will remain until FM 2012’s release. Below are the teams I have selected for the ‘European poll’ and why.

AS Roma: I have one simple reason for wanting to manage Roma, my wife supports them :) I am also heavily invested in the Italian outfit and would love to guide them to glory on FM 2012. I’d describe Roma as an Italian giant of old that has struggled in the modern day game, or at least since Capello’s departure many years ago. The fans feel like their club should be challenging but what we see on the pitch suggests a far grimmer conclusion. A lack of funds will be on offer and I want to put this great club back where is belongs and even cement Roma as the Worlds greatest.

Malaga: I love watching the Spanish game, but feel the last 3-4 seasons have become very much the same…with Real Madrid and Barcelona dominating as well as playing the best football. However, Malaga have recently come into some money and look dead set on challenging for the top four. I’d love nothing more than to turn this club into Spain’s dominant force, one that the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid fear. My goal would start with Spain, then Europe and at the same time I’d look to emulate Barcelona’s passing game.

PSG: The French league seems to have experienced a boost within the last 2-3 years. With sides like Lyon and Marseille putting their stamp on the Champions League, Europe no longer sees the French as easy opposition. However, one club that hasn’t featured in this revolution is Paris Saint Germain. The once great club have slipped back a little despite possessing a reasonable squad. I want to take France to the next level and instate PSG as Europe’s dominant force, but we’ll have to dominant France first.

Napoli: Probably the easiest club to manage from all the above options. I chose Napoli because they have a good squad, decent finances and still seem to lack that something extra for the Serie A title.I admire Napoli’s players and my main reason for wanting to manage them is Cavani, Hamsik and Lavezzi…I’d love to hold these guys in my team.

That is it, you have now seen all the options available. Norwich and QPR have already booked their place in the final poll thanks to your votes. Now you can vote for the two foreign clubs to follow them into the final poll. Please vote below and remember you may vote for two separate teams. This poll will end on the 23/09/11 and the final poll including Norwich, QPR and the two winning teams from European poll will start shortly after.
