Alright guys,

I'm in limbo over what to do in my future FM career. I've just finished the end of the 3rd season with Blackburn Rovers.

1st season - Playoff semi - Lost
2nd season - won league & promoted to premiership
3rd season - relegated - finished 19th,back down to Championship.

It's summer, & i applied for the Uruguay job and got it, i'm just currently in the group stages of world cup and have won 2 out of 2. My reputation is average and probably what is expected for a Blackburn Rovers manager. I feel like i don't want to manage in the championship and don't know whether to resign or just stick it out for a while longer & see what i can do in the future?

My bank balance is healthy at £40m & a few stars such as Ravel Morrison will fetch me £8/£9m yet too..

LIMBO!!

You've got to make a decision on whether you want to stick it out and turn Rovers into a Premier League side

Only other option is moving abroad or to an already established Premier League team.

if i were you i would stay with blackburn and try to establish them in the premier league, you have a very nice transfer budget to work with so you should be able to bring in some good players that can compete at prem level, learn from the mistakes you made the season you got relegated...

When i thought it was £40m, i got an extra £39 mill parachute payments so sitting with £80m in the bank and making money every month i think i'm going to do just that & stay, try get promotion again. It's hard though because all of my attention has been with the Uruguay squad for the world cup so i'm going to resign as soon as it's finished.

I took the Uruguay job as i've never managed a national team before and with the world cup coming up i thought i could increase my reputation & try go for a bigger club sooner.

I had an easy group in Iceland, Japan & Ukraine so i won all 3. Then got Iran so i won that too, and then came South Africa in the quarters, won that 3-2. Semi final v Argentina i haven't played yet but i'm expecting a defeat. So worst case scenario i got Uruguay to the semi's!
