O sh!t - blink and you miss it..., well into the championship round now!

I must assume this is a tough cookie from the viewpoint of you as Viborg-manager. I mean, I know in real life you're a Brøndby-fan and that you dislike København, but for Viborg it's actually Brøndby that are the arch rivals, aren't they?

With a Danish title, I don't think you realistically could achieve anything more: you've reached Danish silverware with Brøndby, you're getting close with Viborg, you've made it to the Champions League: am I missing something, or are we slowly thinking about a new challenge?

Viborg have two main rivals. One is a "friendly" rivalry with neighbours Silkeborg, both located in the center of Jutland. The other is a fierce one with FC Midtjylland, who are located more to the west, but have somehow called "dips" on the whole region, when they were formed in 1999. Looking at a map, it's easy to see why Viborg and Silkeborg still hold grudges against the club from a Herning and Ikast merger. Randers and AGF (Aarhus) may have small rivalries with Viborg as well, and perhaps AaB from Aalborg in the north.

That's also why I was able to choose Viborg in the first place. I couldn't play with AGF, for instance, or FC København. FC Midtjylland are also out of the question for that matter. For Brøndby, Viborg is kind of a neutral club. And an old one, which just attracts me more than these "FC some region"-clubs.

Well, the season isn't over yet, so I'm not taking a league title for granted just yet. I know I could reach the limit with this club, but on the other hand I am enjoying playing with them and seeing my first academy graduates start to make themselves relevant. My narrator being one of them. A new challenge could be a massive sell-out, getting rid of several stars like Serginho, who's been a star player for me so far. I could definitely see more for me, even though I have an opportunity to make this the best ever season for this club.

That said, I have considered a "jump in" with another club. But the last time I checked, one could only jump in with 9th or 10th December as the date. So I will probably prefer to wait until the January window is over, before I start somewhere with a struggling side in one of the top 5 leagues. That way I can also start a save without 100+ crazy transfers already in the first month.
