When you’re selecting a team to manage, it helps to pick one with some cash to splash. Whether it’s Arsenal (though then you might be tempted not to spend), PSG or Barcelona, clubs with money make everything easier.

One of the first things the board will ask you when you take over is what you think you can accomplish. You’ll be given more for wages and transfers if you promise more, but higher expectations lead to a greater chance of getting sacked if you fail to live up to them. Under-promise and over-deliver is the way to go at first.
