Hey guys and welcome to the final round of voting for who I should manage in Football Manager 2012. The first poll was won by Norwich and QPR finished a close second, booking both clubs a place in the final round. Over the last five days you have voted in your hundreds and I can reveal the two clubs from my European round to make it through are…
- Malaga (SPA) — 130 votes
- PSG (FRA) — 57 votes
Roma (ITA) — 51 votesNapoli (ITA) — 36 votes
That’s right, Malaga absolutely smashed the poll and seem to be the peoples choice. Joining them in the final round will be Paris Saint Germain after finishing a close second. My wife was devastated to see Roma fall, so thanks for that guys…only kidding ;)
I have already opened the final poll and you can now vote for who I’ll manage in Football Manager 2012. This poll will remain open until a week before the game is released, no more surprises I promise! Please note all previous votes from previous polls will not be counted…this is a new poll and you can all vote again. If you like any of the teams below or would love to see me managing abroad, please do vote below…your choice is what I’ll stick by. ;)

Hey Darren,
Norwich get my vote since they’re the most difficult team there.
P.S. You’ve marked QPR down as being French ;)

Thanks Kevin, still fixated with the old crest I see ;)

I went with Malaga because it does get boring reading your careers since you guys normally just manage in England. It will be nice to see a change of scenery is what I’ll call it.
Goodluck with whatever the outcome is Darren!

Thanks JeanPaul, I hope we get a foreign story for you then.

According to your poll, I think managing QPR in France would be brill! :p
Darren Smith

Yeah I was rushing to publish this in my 15 minute break and made a mistake. All sorted though ;)

Hi Darren,
Malaga. Love to see you manage in Spain.
Darren Smith
23 сентября, 2011 at 18:52
Thanks Lye, must admit I like the idea of doing a proper story in Spain, it would be my first.

I’ll stick with my first vote, QPR. But no matter which of these teams wins, I am sure it will be a great story!
Darren Smith

Thanks Calin, appreciate the vote.

i think all the teams would be challenging but malaga could be hard…i knw it wont involve getting promoted etc but ull have to beat the 2 richest clubs in fm and the worlds most dominant team..barca and real madrid..
which ever team wins,ill still be anticipating you posts..brighton has been interesting as of late and hope you keep making these nice fm stories..
NOTE:i like to analyse you signings etc,style of play just to understand how u do it..
reading is cool…like the handbook etc but you should make more out of the pitch videos..maby videos of you tweaking your tactics and explaining etc that would help those like me who wanna become masters at the game..but at the end of the day its all up to to you..you decide cuz i knw its time consuming..
anyways tnx

I can see why people would class Malaga as a challenge and also why they’d see the money as a major advantage. But in my opinion its a challenge due to Barca and Real’s dominance.
As for the videos, well I’m afraid I won’t be doing them anytime soon. The video quality comes out too poor and readers wouldn’t be able to see what I’m trying to demonstrate clearly. Plus google doesn’t pick up on verbal or videos, they only rank posts from the written word. Certainly something to consider when I can make a better quality video though.

Malaga, I’d love to see you knock Barca and Madrid off their posts as the top 2 teams in spain although I think seeing QPR in France would be rather interesting ;) haha
Darren Smith
23 сентября, 2011 at 18:49
Yeah it would be nice to give Barca and Real a challenge. QPR in France would be very surreal indeed lol :) Guess you can tell I was rushing while on a lunch break.

Malaga for me mate! It was a difficult choice between them or QPR in my opinion, however i would really like to see someone take down Barcelona and Real Madrid! Good luck with whatever team you end up with :)
Darren Smith
23 сентября, 2011 at 18:48
Looks like your vote may be the team that wins mate, certainly would be a challenge replacing Barcelona as the dominant force.

Tough choice but I went for Malaga ;)
Darren Smith
23 сентября, 2011 at 18:46
Yeah it is quite a tough choice but would be nice to see me managing in a different country. ;)

Such a tough decision but in the end i have voted for PSG as they are my favorite French team but its not the favorite to win this time. :(
Darren Smith
23 сентября, 2011 at 19:44
Thanks for voting mate, PSG are a great club.

Went for Norwich I think it’ll be a challenge theres nothing like a relegation dog fight plus, especially if QPR go down at your expense, plus Delia as your chairwoman! Speaking of QPR I bet the developers loved all their takeover and sudden transfer kitty/wage budget change, lots of database editing there… wonder if J.Barton is as much of a mouthy something in the game.
Darren Smith
23 сентября, 2011 at 21:08
Thanks for voting mate, I know a lot of people like the idea Norwich. I personally think it’ll be a two horse race between them and Malaga.

Thanks for voting mate, Malaga look the favourites so far.

I went Malaga. Interesting to see whether you can get up to the levels of Real and Barca and how quickly. Their strong financial backing should make it interesting in the transfer window!
Darren Smith
23 сентября, 2011 at 21:50
I agree mate, it would be interesting to see what I can find in the transfer market. Plus being in such a position would leave me open to find the best talent and do posts on them ;)

Malaga for me, managing «The Beast» and «El Ruud» sounds like a cool idea for me.
You may need a couple of quick center backs for the starters.
Good Luck Darren.
Darren Smith
24 сентября, 2011 at 07:52
Thanks for voting Godders, it would be great to manage some of their new signings. Malaga certainly have some experience upfront and in the middle.

norwich Ithink it would be a good challenge
Darren Smith
24 сентября, 2011 at 07:53
You’re probably right George, I think its a race between managing in a different country and the biggest challenge so far.

Voted for PSG but I don’t think they’ll win it ;)

You never know mate, there’s still another three weeks or so to go :)

Aww, i voted for QPR, but it’s the least popular one, I figured getting back together with good old Joey and SWP would be fun :D
Darren Smith
26 сентября, 2011 at 11:53
Thanks for voting mate but looks like QPR are out of the race now :(
