I took over as their manager in a previous version of the game (I can't recall now if it was 07 or 08) after finding the story of their history rather fascinating, and managed to take them to the dizzy heights of Serie A within seven seasons. Funnily enough, I never won a title, and was always promoted via the play-offs. My final season (after I jacked it all in, frustrated at the number of times the local council blocked moves to improve the 18,000 capacity stadium) saw me finish 2nd in the table, a couple of points behind Milan, and defeated in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Good luck with your challenge of taking Vercelli back to the top. It was one of my favourite experiences of ever playing Football Manager, and I'm sure you'll have an equally enjoyable time (if not better - you've already won a league) rewriting history. All the best.
