Budapest Honvéd are one the oldest and most successful sides in Hungary, and they will be your club to manage for this third stage of the tour. In a period of a somewhat transition one of your first jobs will need you to address the staff both on and off the field, the training facilities, the youth system, and work with some limited money to help you dominate your rivals and continue to qualify for European football. Despite the fact you are in somewhat period of transition, you were once one of the biggest clubs not just in Hungary but in Europe itself. A side that possessed some of the Hungarian greats that formed the Mighty Magyars. Do you have what it takes to keep up the domestic expectations expected of the Kispest? Can you give this once big club another period of celebration?

Budapest Honvéd FC

Budapest Honvéd FC plays in . Honved means the Homeland Defence. Originally formed as Kispest AC, they became Kispest FC in 1926 before reverting to their original name in 1944. The team enjoyed a golden age during the 1950s when it was renamed Budapest Honvéd SE and became the Hungarian Army team. The club's top players from this era, Ferenc Puskás, Sándor Kocsis, József Bozsik and Zoltán Czibor, formed the nucleus of the legendary Hungarian team known as the Mighty Magyars and helped the club win the Hungarian League four times during the 1950s. During the 1980s and early 1990s the club enjoyed another successful period, winning a further eight Hungarian League titles. They also won league and cup doubles in 1985 and 1989. In 1991 the club was renamed Kispest Honvéd FC and adopted its current name in 2003.

OTP Bank Liga

OTP Bank Liga is the highest level of professional league since its inception in 1901. UEFA currently ranks the league 29th in Europe. Sixteen teams compete in the league, playing each other twice, once at home and once away. At the end of the season, the top team enters the qualification for the UEFA Champions League, while the runner-up and the third placed, together with the winner of the Hungarian Cup enters the UEFA Europa League qualification round. The bottom two clubs are relegated to NB2, the second-level league, to be replaced by the winner and the runner up of the NB2.

I'd take that job or at leas the interview. Nice little rebuilding project to be done there. Good challenge.

Good to see NiceLad you are continuing with this, thought people had decoded to bypass this leg.

Here are some from my Met Police Save:

I had a play round with it last night and it was good fun, be interesting to see what others think of it.

GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition

Arrived today, fantastic piece of kit.

It's basically how they show it in America, I've started downloading the episodes so I don't have to put up with the ads.

Note: I have not created this challenge, credit to mikenevo over at the SI forums.





Welcome to the 'Class of 92' Salford City Challenge! I'm pretty sure a lot of United fans will be keen on taking this adventure on, due to the ties it has with the 'Class of 92' players; Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and the Neville brothers, but don't be fooled... This will be a challenge!!!



The Database

First of all, before we go into details on the challenge itself, I must state that you will need to download the database that I have so kindly made available for you...

Salford City Database - Full credit goes to FCUtdWill as I have used his England down to level 10 database and the only changes I've made are to Salford City and of course the 'Class of 92'.

You will need to unzip this and place the folder in... Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2014 > Editor Data folder


The Aim

As with every challenge, you need something to aim for and so I have chosen Ryan Giggs and his career as our ultimate aim...

Non Optional Aims...
Win the Premier League 13 times
Win the FA Cup 4 times
Win the Capital One Cup 4 times
Win the Community Shield 9 times
Win the Champions League 2 times
Win the Super Cup Once
Win the Club World Championship Once
Optional Aims...
Have a player achieve more than Ryan Giggs
Have a player play in 22 successive Premier League seasons
Have a player score in 21 successive Premier League seasons
Have a player play until they are 40
Only once you have achieved the Non Optional Aims, can you consider this challenge complete!

Setting Up & The Rules

Now that we have our aims, it's time to see the rules and now you will see why this challenge becomes so much more difficult when it comes to achieving the aims. The aims above would normally be as easy as pie for some people in this community, but that wouldn't be any fun now would it?

Setting Up...
Load the game with English Leagues only and down to at least level 8 (depending on your preference).
The advanced options are up to you, but if you want to make things more challenging, I suggest you leave player attribute masking on.
The database size should be no bigger than 'Large', but you may add all players from England if you wish. If you wish to do that, go to advanced and under Nations, add England and tick all boxes.
Past experience must be set as 'Sunday League Footballer'.
Nation and City of Birth should be set as 'English' and 'Salford' just for the purposes of this challenge.
The Rules...
You may only sign players who were born in the 'Greater Manchester' area. If you want to make this even more challenging, then stick to players who were born in 'Salford'.
You can only use players from the academy if they were born in 'England or Wales'. If you use any players born outside of England or Wales in your first team, you will have failed the challenge.
No 'Loan Players' should ever be used in this challenge.
No use of 'Saved Game' or 'In-game' Editors should be used. Use of cosmetic edits are allowed.
You may only sign backroom staff if they were born in England or Wales.
No International Management until the challenge is completed.
Thread Rules

All threads need rules, so please abide by them and we will have a brilliant thread on the go
Player Naming is allowed
Tactics can be discussed, but please don't refer people to downloaded tactics, although I won't stop you from using them yourself.
When joining this challenge, please post a screenshot of your managers profile and whatever else you wish.
All screenshots are encouraged, but please use links as this will help the thread load much easier for those of us less fortunate to have a fast PC or Laptop!
Please keep us updated on your careers and updates can be done however you wish (Monthly, 6 Monthly, Seasonal), but an End Of Season update is Non-Optional.
You should post an image of your 'Youth Intake' and 'Transfers Page' should be posted every season without fail and all signings should have an image containing their 'Nationality' and 'City of Birth' information.

The club will never be sold to anyone else (this has been prevented in the editor).
The team plays in tier 8 of the English Pyramid in the 'Northern Premier League Division One North'.
The club has been given £100,000 in bank balance (I believe that the 'Class of 92' will definitely be injecting money into the club).

A brief little guide. Maybe of some use to all.

Disappointing this Rick.

The tour is meant to take you to places to challenge your ability to adapt and take you out of your comfort zone. It is not as bad as you think.

Urm ... no, says 20th April ....
