Hardest Team you ever managed?

Just as the title states? What is the hardest team you ever manage, or better yet hardest league you ever been in?

Grimbsy Town in Blue Square Premier. Managing in the Lower English Levels can be so frustrating. I would win games I shouldn't have and lose games I shouldn't' have. It was a roller coaster ride to say the least. I eventually took another job.

I also had a rough patch in the Russian Premier league at some team I don't remember the name of. I think the language barrier played a role in my demise there.

Petrolul Ploiesti in Romanian League 1...hard to avoid relegation in a league such competitive as the Romanian League 1

Dongjin in China. Finding good enough Chinese players was hard.

Any league with tight nationality restrictions is normally harder then the rest for me. Russia, Malaysia etc.

I found it really difficult managing New York Red Bulls in the MLS. It wasn't really the team, more the draft/transfer rules of the MLS that I found really restricting.

International managing is tough if you're in a nation that doesn't have a deep talent pool. Requires a ton of tactical and player knowledge...it's not like you can go and buy a guy to fill a spot.

In FM 12 I was quickly canned by QPR after foolishly starting a career there after the Jan update (waste of spending, no money left to do anything). Sat out the season and picked up Cittadella in Serie B who were in the relegation zone. Had very limited money and managed to finish 1 point out of relegation. The next season I finished mid table and my name is making the rounds around Italy but it went down to the wire the season before.

Had the same thing happen to me as Blackpool. It was frustrating as hell.
