For a third year running the beast that is the British Steel returns to the challenge section for all of you that want to challenge yourself within the British Isles.
So what is the challenge: You have to win every trophy from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland in any order you want. However you must only use British and Irish players!
With no on conquering this challenge over the last two years its proved to not be as easy as some people assume and we welcome every challenger to try and be the first!
The challenge is made a little easier by counting promotion from finishing second in the league, or via the playoffs as the title but this is your choice. Any success in Europe or with the national teams are just an added note on your history but won't count towards this challenge.
Below is a screenshot and I will add everyone who takes part to the challenge leaderboard and add your story so people can follow it easily. Once you've won a trophy be it league or cup, I will need to see a screenshot for it to count.
Rules:
- Only use British and Irish players
- Must start with Sunday League Reputation
- You may start at a club or start unemployed, your choice
- You MUST send me a screenshot of each trophy won for it to count
England
Fa Trophy, Blue Square North/South, Blue Square Premiership, Johnson's Paint trophy, nPower League Two, nPower League One, nPower Championship, League Cup, Community Shield, FA Cup, Premiership

You don't need to write a thread for the challenge buddy, however I will still need to see screenshots of your manager at the start of the game (his rep) and then when you win a trophy I would like to see the message screen saying you won it and either the league table or match overview for a cup final win let me know if you wish to join the challenge
MCMXC
Cool, yeah i do i gave it a shot in 11 and was defeated so thought id give it a go. Oh, i'm already in my 2nd season But i did notice that you can see you past exp on your profile page in this version, so hope that would be alright.
Dan
That is absolutely fine buddy! your name is added to the list, how did your first season go?
MCMXC
Dan
Sounds like the league is very tight! I believe BOWC's league was tight as he was Athlone town to! So maybe this year you could tick the first trophy off! keep it going
BOWC
Is it strict in that you are not allowed to play/buy any non-British/Irish players at all and you have to release them once you see any in your team? Or is it that the trophies for that season in which you have non-British/Irish players are not counted towards the challenge. I was wondering because it would be pretty hard to take over a top team which has 50% foreigners then without being allowed a period of transition
Edit: One more thing: Munster Senior Cup in Ireland is a regional cup I think, and is only played by 3 playable teams currently, makes it pretty hard to win it as only Limerick, Cork City and Waterford Utd are in it! - Just letting anyone know in case they were wondering.

Or if you can’t sell the players/cost too much to release then they have to rot in the reserves until they depart.
Dan
Such a nice way to put it but yes that is also fine, when are you going to board the ship Shedender?
Dan
Looking forward to you taking on the challenge rick, with you not running it this year it may give you a bit more motivation to battle. You do love your lower league games so hopefully we can see a thread from you soon.
I myself will be participating in this challenge, with a thread to prove screenshot etc once I puchase the new game
Shedender
I'm not sure mate, I could've done well on FM12 but I get too addicted to one club.

Its always nice to have one easy place Rick an with Wales there it is. Just a cruise really.
Thats good enough for me! Well done on your first trophy MCMXC! Will be added to the list!
I look forward to your attempt to tame the game this year Gendo!
BOWC
Is it only players with their main nationality as British/Irish that are allowed, or are players with secondary nationality as British/Irish also allowed? (case in point: Carl Jenkinson)
Dan
Thats an interesting point. I believe if they have a secondary nationality as English and haven't played for a different national team then they can stay in the team
Well done BOWC for restoring your '1' trophy lead by adding trophy number two this afternoon

I just loaded the demo up to look in Scotland and completely forgot Rangers are in division three! it would be a nice place to start however unemployed is usually funner from the start
Shedender
How could you forget Rangers were in Division three?
Dan
Maiden71
Real men start unemployed :p
Dan
Now all three of the candidates who have started this challenge have their first one out the way!
