Instant success as new manager in Scotland/England leagues

This is a sure-fire way of getting massive victories allowing your team to perform brillantly, early on. Follow these steps:

When you start a new career in this region, you'll get the bottom of the lot in the Football League, so forget about a major Premiership side right now. The only bet is with Celtic, Hearts or Rangers, all teams that should appear when you are ready for the career mode, default. If not, reset your PS2, and check again. They'll be there. So...

Create a player or transfer players to one of those three teams in squad management, at the main screen. I did this: I created a player named Hugo Fosse (Hugo Boss?) on the left for Celtic, since Neil Lennon retires at the end of year one. Sell him immediately as well as Hartson. Keep Thompson though on the bench. Change LF Robinho from Santos (not Santos Laguna) to Celtic. Put Carlos Tevez on Celtic. Shore up the backline, since McKenna is old as well as Varga. I changed Rosicky, Metzhelder and Upson to Celtic along with RWM coverage for Agathe. Start Robinho and Maloney and you'll get tons of goals. Juninho is a little old, and you are better off with a 3-5-2, winger formation, with Robinho LF, Maloney or Sutten RS-Alan Thompson or Damien Duff LM, McGeady or Juninho at LCM, Rosicky or Petrov at RCM and Agathe at RM-Play Tevez and Rosicky at CAM--Balde or Upson at LCB, Metzhelder or Kennedy at CB and Valgaeren or McKenna at RCB.

Switch Marshall with Hedman when appropriate...Sell Douglas. Pearson is good cover on the left side.

Put all your default points to change the financial manager to Level One immediately to get offers from other clubs, involving young talent.

Enjoy! After two years you'll get major Premiership offers...I took the Chelsea job, since their players are so valuable!
