Premier Manager

This trophy is easy in theory, but can actually be quite difficult in that managing a very high star rated team often means their facilities are already at optimum levels. If this isn't the case, simply select either one of your complexes from the Hub Menu and selecting Manager --> Stadium --> for stadium upgrades, Coach --> Training Centre --> for Training Facilities upgrades and Physio --> Medical Centre --> for Medical Facility upgrades. Each of those menus will bring a list of upgrades. Another potential stumbling block is that all upgrades to facilities have to go through the Chairman, who can decline your request for reasons he will explain. The Physio and Coach facilities usually tie in with the corresponding staff member's star ability, don't go expecting a 10 star medical complex for a 5 star physio etc. For the stadium, it is down to your experience as a manager, which can be found in the Home Menu on the Hub.

Thankfully, there is a very quick and easy method to unlock this trophy. Start a new game, separate to your existing one. Keep a separate save for this. The details are as follows:

Choose to manage Arles in French Division 1. They have a 1 star stadium to start. Here is what I did;

1) Sold some of their highest valued players, including two that went for £1.9mill and £2mill. Replaced them with freebies/cheap players.

2) Received a sponsorship of £900,000, which gave the team a balance of about £5.9mill.

3) This was enough to buy a £3mill, two star stadium and it gets approved.

4) You'll receive some more money for TV rights or something and in first month or two of the season, both Physio and Coach leveled up (as did Scout for trophy!). Invested in both a medical facility and training facility.

5) Play through the season. The stadium was my last one to be built (2nd Feb 2011, which is about half a season). Because of how bad the teams are, when the stadium was finished, I had two points in the league and my only victory in a cup match... and I still hadn't been sacked.

So as long as you don't lose 9-0 every week, this should be easy enough to do.

In addition to the above, I would like to add that I tested this and it works with a few little tweaks. Basically, they are a bad team and selling their best players doesn't really help matters. I actually got sacked just before stadium completion, so I would add the following :

Obtain as many decent free transfer players as possible. Offer them over what they require to sign to beat off any competition. The likes of Emile Mpenza, Juan Veron and Landon Donovan are all going for free so sign them up. After 5 or 6 signings of this caliber, get some more in, but immediately transfer list them. Their high profile will attract bids quickly pushing through a sale. The end result should be half a dozen quality players for free, and give or take 10 million in the bank to afford the likes of Veron and Donovan's wages for 3 months. My stadium was finished on 3rd March and I was 4th in the league.
