1 - For England I'd go for Nottingham Forest, they're so often over looked when people speak of riviving a once great club but were of course the champions of europe twice. I'll probably have a save with them myself.

2 - Italy - Sampdoria, for one reason or another they have never really been able to be seen as one of the 'elite' clubs in Serie A. The best days were probably seen in the late 80's early 90's where they of course lost against Barcelona in both the Cup Winners Cup final and then a couple of years later in the European Cup final. Since then its been a slow decline and now seen as more of selling club.

3 - For a journeyman its probably best to start unemployed with a few leagues loaded and then just holiday until a job you fancy comes along.

I've done Nottingham Forest in the past, and Sheffield Utd/Wed too. Which is why I was thinking Leeds or Villa, just don't know whether it would be too easy or not, heard Villa have a new owner, so maybe they would be easier than Leeds, but Leeds seem to be performing well.

Sampdoria could be an option, Milan sounds cool but maybe too easy again, and if I'm not mistaken there's some young talent at both Parma and Udinese that could make it interesting.

I was wondering if anyone could advise. I'm getting back into FM this year after a couple of years without play (only got Touch version last year). I'm currently thinking of having three saves just to add some variety so I don't get bogged down in the same old/same old. I would usually always just take over a small non-league club in England and build them up over 20/30 seasons. So for now, I've decided to control Man Utd during the Beta to get to grips with game changes and to manage the team I support, but I've always found Man Utd (and other big clubs) a bit dull over time. Two saves I remember fondly were Atletico Madrid in 2008 where I did a short save challenge without buying players and won the league. And a Lille save I did in 2012 where I became Europe's leading club but which ended because I messed up with foreign players and couldn't field a CL team.

So the ideas I have are 1- England, I'm considering Leeds or Aston Villa, attempting to bring glory back to these well established clubs. Any ideas which would be more interesting? 2- Italy, teams for consideration are Milan, Parma, Udinese, again any advice on which to pick? 3- Journeyman save, I like the idea of making a retired player and seeing how his career can go in management, I'm thinking good old Pat Evra, any advice on journeymen saves as I've never done one before?
