How to unlock the 20 Seasons At One Club achievement in Football Manager 2006 - Definitive Guide

I did this with the Australian League since the expectations are low so not as likely to get fired. Also i noticed if the game freezed up in a spot more than once just simply come off holiday play the match the normal way and then go back on holiday and it should let you by the freeze point.

Anthony's point about the freezing is correct, and has proven to work around the freezing issue. Wish I knew it before tho.

I'm having freeze issues too. Tried both options and nothing. Wouldn't be that bothered if I wasn't in my 18th season. :(

I've started freezing up a lot in January 2023, which is also my 18th season, did you ever find a way around it? I know you wrote on here a little while ago but would still be good to know, as this is an absolute ball-ache. Good call on Australian league by the way, I am with New Zealand Knights and they come bottom of the league every year, but the board have never been upset.

This achievement drove me mental and Gave up, no matter what I couldn't get past the freeze date in any of the 3 saves (diff leagues I attempted)
Went back, this time on a different xbox, with no previous saves and nothing on the HD. It ran so much smoother. I did India League, 10 Teams, 18 games a season. Took over all teams, after 15 years (left it overnight and never checked once) I had 2 teams left. Retired all other managers. (denpo and Mommand or something). Every 6 months check in now, have auto save turned off. After 18 years, 1 manager got sacked, so ran with the 1 left. After 19 years, and went day by day past the date, going on holiday for 1 day when I had a game, then back on holiday until achievement popped.
Sorry for the long message, but I must have attempted this 6-8 times of the last 2 years and never thought it would unlock, so wanted to give tips in any way I could. Big factor, fresh empty hard drive with no previous saves. * game wasn't installed on HD either! Good luck

It's freezing up in the menus, not the actual game itself, the same date/time as well, 21st July 2023, 18:00, there's no game to play for a few more days, which is where the frustration lies as I only have 18 months to go until I get the achievement now, any other known workarounds? I've tried installing the game to my hdd to see if that helps but it hasn't, really don't want to start this again.

Pretty straightforward really BUT, which is the reason I'm writing this, you CAN NOT use an international team.

I found out this mistake personally. I used Brazil and put in on holiday mode whilst I slept. I came back 20 in game years later and I hadn't unlocked it, however, when I then done this with a Premiership team it unlocked perfectly so just to let you know that this can ONLY be done with a domestic team, not international.

This is the same for all the achievements (5 seasons, 10 seasons and 20 seasons).

I hope this helped. :-)

It should be noted that you shouldn't take over all of the teams in the hong kong (China PR) league, because the game crashes at 18.5 years through the career, EVERY time, with me, and a friend who's been going through the game too.

I had the same thing happen with me in the Australian league, I've got to 2023 now and it keeps crashing all the time, I can't get past a certain date so looks like I shall have to restart this shit yet again!

Just to throw in my own answer to this, which no-one seems to have said on this one.

This is far easier to do using the Australian league, you can take over each club with then a few additional managers spare.

What I am currently doing to make life easier for myself is as I put a new manager to a team, I put the team name as my forename, and the year they start as the Surname. This can mean I can easily track who is the longest standing one. Then as I get towards a landmark time in office, such as 5/10/15 years, take greater control over the team to ensure that they stay in office for 20+ years. I also put said manager on holiday for one year using the same date, this would mean that I can constantly keep an eye on the progress.

Hope this helps anyone who for some reason decides to go for this achievement like me in 2013 and beyond

WARNING - ONLY FOR THE TRUE HARDCORE -

First up, let me lay down some of the do's and don'ts...

DO save often over numerous saves, the last thing you want is to get sacked in the 19th season. This way, with numerous saves, if you have saved it when the club and your job status is irrepairable, you can always go back a save or two.

DON'T expect to think you can just go on holiday for long periods and come back to your club and everything running smoothly. Things happen and the assistant manager can be a little stupid at times, like resting key players for key games and playing fairly useless young kids instead of the better ones.

Which club to choose? Well, I personally did it with Liverpool and was flying for ten seasons and then when the core of your team retires, things get a little tough, but, if you can buy quality (look out for minimum fee release clauses) especially if they're young then try the big club, but be warned, you must be successful . You may be better off at a lower team and building an empire slowly cause this way, the club and board won't expect much off you. Just keep playing and playing and playing and saving regularly, but this will take a long time indeed.

I did this with Cork City in the Irish league. In my second season I was a professional club while most of the others in the league were still semi-pro. Won every competition both domestic and european with Cork.

Something that the others havent mentioned is becareful when your putting your manager on holiday as regularly check on your game as if your choose a team in the Premier League like Man U or Chelsea and you dont consistantly win cups each season they will sack you and keep checking on your game as remember this is 20 seasons with ONE club.
