The Donald Trump Challenge

Quite simply, one rule: get the stadium named after yourself.

I have achieved a lot in the game over the years from a Champions League win with Berwick to getting Rushden and Diamonds relegated from the conference when they were red hot favourites to go up (I didn't mean to!) but I have never had the stadium named after myself. So why not have a go now? (apart from needing to finish a maths degree. Ahem).

With the challenge being inspired by Donald Trump it only seems fitting to start on the Aberdeenshire coast with a view to absolutely ruining it with a new stadium in the future. Peterhead FC it is, currently in the third tier of Scottish football. Their stadium has a modest 3,150 capacity with just under a thousand of those being seats, originally built in 1997 so a good chance for a new stadium if we get successful.

There is nobody currently on the Legends list, with only Martin Bavidge on the Icons list, and as he is no longer at the club there is opportunity to be the fan favourite to beat all fan favourites.

Financial mismanagement is par for the course here, why not go into administration 4 times and get someone else to bail you out? The projection is that we will slide a million into the red in the short term but there is no outstanding club debt. Getting a parent club and free loan players could be the order of the day - again, why pay for something when you can get someone else to? It's not about building a legacy, it's about personal glory. Getting the stadium named after me as the club slides into insolvency counts as a win. Getting the stadium named after me as all the players leave cos there's no money in the bank for their required wages or we can't match their ambition giving the club no future counts as a win.

Another plus for the loan players is they will not hang around long enough to become Legends, let alone Icons. The down side is that if any truly great players find themselves permanently under contract they will have to be unloaded at some point for fear they will be more popular than me.

So that's the challenge. It was tempting to edit in a billion pounds to fund this campaign but this is Football Manager, not Football Handed On A Silver Platter.

So let's go. Stadium or Bust! Or maybe both!
