I find the phone version so unbelievably unrealistic... it's like it is built purposely just to take the piss. I suppose that was the point of it though, you'd probably get bored playing it on your phone if you couldn't easily get from Conference North/South to Premier League in 5 seasons.
Much prefer FM Classic for PS Vita when I'm not at home, if I've got a really decent save going I can even continue the same save on the PC.
