Football Manager 2015: 10 Hardest Career Challenges You Must Tackle

2. Burnley

Objective: Survival. Coming off the back of a Championship campaign which now has Sean Dyche dubbed as the 'Ginger Mourinho', Burnley certainly have their work cut out if they are to avoid the drop and consolidate their position in the Premier League. The club's wage cap per player of £8,500 per week has, of course, been raised in order to offer attractive salaries to potential signings, while star striker Danny Ings looks to be on board for at least the next year. Dyche has been fairly frugal with his transfers, bringing in experience in the form of Steven Reid and Matty Taylor, while making the transfer of Michael Kightly permanent and picking up Marvin Sordell and Lukasz Jutkiewicz from the Championship. The Clarets finances will be boosted by the considerable TV money and sponsorship deals, promising for a strong base to transform Burnley into a long-standing Premier League club. Money will need to be pumped into the youth facilities to assure the future presence of home-grown players, but this English top flight challenge promises to be a test of what you can first achieve to announce your arrival among the country's big boys.
