Football Manager 2015: 10 Challenging Teams You Must Consider Managing

5. AFC Bournemouth

One of six Championship sides to have never been in the Premier League, AFC Bournemouth are doing a very good job of rectifying that in real life, currently sitting in third place in a very tight table. Eddie Howe's men lack star names but his squad consists of experienced heads (Ian Harte, Artur Boruc, Yann Kermorgant) and good players that never quite made it (Miles Addison, Dan Gosling, Andrew Surman, Marc Pugh). The Cherries are a small club, with a 12,000 capacity at Dean Court and it's probably a case of 'now or never'. With modest budgets and low pulling power, can Bournemouth be guided to the Premier League? Similar challenges Brentford (England), Girona (Spain), Carpi (Italy)
