Firstly, I want to apologise for what has been a pretty extended absence on my behalf. As Chaodck noted, I've now created a new forum for FM20 (better late than never, eh?), but been quite minimalistic with it due to it being quiet on here.
I've finally bought FM20 and obviously had some time to play around on it. I've not found 'that' save just yet, but wanted to do something with more of a community feel to it and a succession save seemed like a good starting point.
Ideally, we'd need four or five people to get this running, so if you're interested, drop a line in the thread and we an go from there.

Haven't seen a succession game in years. I wouldn't mind being involved if the time limits etc allowed.

No, me neither. I was reading earlier and saw St. Etienne mentioned and it reminded me of one of the original succession saves from The Dugout.
What's your situation at the moment, ttgb? How long would you need to complete half a season?

I'm so up for a succession save. I don't plan on playing another save than my La U C&C so it could inject a bit of a fresh air into my FM20 experience.

I am still working, albeit from home. Depending when we started but I could get half a season done quite quickly - a few days. All written up within a week. That may stretch to 1.5 weeks if it is in a few weeks time. Count me in. Just coming to an end of my current save - well going to give international management a go for 4 years and then knock it on the head.

I think we always used to give people a week to get their six months done, but clearly most people have time on their hands at the moment and can probably get that done quicker. If we say a week, that should take the pressure off anyone struggling to get done.
Three of us at the moment then. I'll put it out on Twitter as I know this place is quiet at the minute and it might drum up some interest. Looking for two more people and then we can start discussing teams and nations to load etc.

That didn't take long!
Okay so we've got:
Nick
Chaodck
ttgb
Guido
FM_Kova
In the past we've done six month periods from June 1st - December 1st and I think that's probably the best way of doing it still.
In terms of dates, if we start today, the slots will be:
27th April - 4th May
4th May - 11th May
11th May - 18th May
18th May - 25th May
25th May - 1st June
I'm easy on which slot I take. I'm free all the time at the moment and can fill in wherever someone else can't. Let me know what you can do...

It'd be great for Kova to make an account in order to be able to tag him in a post. I call the last spot, if possible, really would love for the FM world to be a bit more developed before my turn. |

I don't mind either slot. I'd like Gladiator or Palermo, both in Serie D.

Seeing what Dirk Nowitzky did on the Game Discussion thread Palermo might be a tad too easy of a challenge. I propose Deportivo La Coruña, as that amazing 90's side (having Bebeto, Roy Makaay, Djalminha, Donato, Mauro Silva and Noureddine Naybet as club legends are amazing) plus beautiful colours and crest makes me salivate on the prospect of creating kits for them on a regular basis.

I second that. I am just about to start a Palermo youth only game so would rather give them a miss. |

Same region, even bigger fall - go for Compostela! |

I'll take the third slot.
27th April - 4th May
4th May - 11th May - ttgb
11th May - 18th May - Nick
18th May - 25th May
25th May - 1st June - chaodck
I think Deportivo is a great shout, same with Palermo. But as the other lads have said, having seen Dirk's posts, I think we'd find that less of a challenge.

Yeah Serie D and C are easy with Palermo if you don't put any restrictions on yourself. Serie B isn't too hard either as you generally don't need many points to get promoted, but if you get stuck there you'll probably start to struggle financially pretty fast.
This is a fun idea by the way! Looking forward to read about it!

Okay, good. I can get the save uploaded tonight.
In terms of nations loaded, where do we stand? I'm the worst person to decide as I can run any reasonable game setup. If we say Spain, Portugal, England, France and Germany is everyone okay with that?
