Usually I start a career as Gillingham and bring them through the ranks. Not sure who to go with this year. Any suggestions or do any of the teams have a hot prospect to groom?

Colchester has a good set of strikers.

Bradford a good defense.

I have used Preston north end before in 13 and they were fun.

Rotherham is cool and of course wolves are in there now.

Dagenham will be a challenge

Snap...I saw Gillingham and thought League 1.

As far as League 2 goes my fave team out of there is Plymouth Argyle.

Bristol Rovers are my side of choice...

I've seen quite a few people using Portsmouth. That was intriguing to me because of their former success and I simmed some years with them to test out some of the youth academy. It may be the most frustrating team I have worked with in manager mode.

Every year your expectations were to be promoted all the way up to the premier league. After bringing them straight up from league 2 to the championship and had them in 7th and rising and was fired half way through the season. Luckily I saved before that and was able to continue. Even so, you will never receive any sort of funding. My first season in the premier league I received a career high 2 million in available funds with a free wage budget of 10,000. I guess it makes sense in light of their history. My objective though the first year up in the premier league was to make it to European competition the next year with that great budget to work with.

Thanks for reading my venting. Don't use Portsmouth unless you want a fair bit of frustration.

That sucks. Unrealistic goals for a team like them. Btw, when was the last time Portsmouth made it to a European competition in real life?

2008/09 season after winning the FA Cup the year before. Right before everything was about to fall apart for them.
