Rotherham - The Road to the Premier League

Having been inspired by one of the blogs in here, I decided I would try to build a team from the ground up. Previously I have played with Birmingham leading them from the 1st. Division to Premier League and Champions League victory. This time around I decided to start even further down the divisions.

Rotherham United F.C.

After having a look at the teams available, my choice fell on Rotherham United. A 1-star rated team with a budget of about �400,000.

The reason I chose Rotherham is a rather shallow one. Since there are a minimal difference between the League Two clubs (1/2-Star to 1 1/2-star teams, budgets from �200,000 - �600,000) the only thing I cared about was the team kits, since I would spend tens of hours looking at them. I previously started a season with Le Mans. They had red and yellow checker patterns on their kits, I could only stand to play a few games with them.

The goal

I play on World Class difficulty allowing me to win most games, but still have a few draws and losses. My aim is to win the Premier League within 5 seasons. After some calculations I've come to find out that it will take me a minimum of 44 hours, not counting cup mathces.

Updates
Updates will come at the start and end of each season, and at the end of each transfer period. They will include transfers, results, standings and anything else I might find relevant.
