Choose my destiny in Football Manager 2011

Posted: 21 Sep 2010 11:40 AM PDT

Vote (in mirror)

The most old readers of the blog should remember one or even two of these polls:

- Football Manager 2010 voting – Leeds United

- Football Manager 2009 poll – Hull City

Twice per the blog's history you chose clubs for me to manage in new Football Manager in the game series. It's really good practice I think because you read the blog and you choose what team is more interesting as an object of reading. So now I would like to suggest you voting again. But this time it will be done in two stages. At first you will select a league for me, then you will be able to vote for a that or another club from a chosen league.

 

May be I should start in Conference North/South?

Interesting fact that I have not been managing clubs from the lowest leagues since 2004. More than 5 years with so called 'crap teams'. Currently I think that starting in the Conference North/South. It's a chance to promote small unknown club into Premier League and European cups. New challenge for me. Therefore I am very interested in your opinion that you may inform me using the first poll in the right column of this blog.

 

Choose my destiny!

The voting will continue till the 1st of October. Then the second poll containing several clubs from chosen league will be started.

Remember: votes in comments are not accepted.  Just use poll in the right side (right column in the blog, below 'Pre-Order FM 2011' section).
