Any ideas on who to manage?

I signed up here minutes ago because I was interested in the stories that people were writing and thought I might give it a go. Anyway, I thought I'd start a new game for my first story but I'm short of ideas at the moment.

Nations: England, Spain, Germany, France or Italy.

Leagues: Only the top divisions in each of the countries but I'm open to doing one in the Npower League 2.

Clubs: Preferably not a club with a media prediction in the top 4. I want a bit of a challenge.

In the top leagues, Reading would be interesting, or maybe Aston Villa.
If you want to go lower, a story from Crewe would be very entertaining.

Thanks. Some good suggestions there; I'll consider.

Teams like Getafe, Betis, Parma, Hannover, Borussia Moenchengladbach have decent squads and are predicted to finish below 4th so you might want to try and build them up.

maybe a road to glory with a bad team like Barnet, Hereford, Macclesfield etc. It would be good to see u improve their team!

@Sniper - Thanks, I will certainly check them out.

@FM-LD - Yeah, I had fun with Barnet on 2011 but haven't tried them on 2012 yet. Also, I once did a network game with a mate where I was Macclesfield and had a shocking game and got fired before the end of the 1st season. Maybe I could try them again.
