Setting Up A LLaMa Save

A Step By Step Guide

Okay so you've been to see one of the three Llamas and have had a look through the guidelines and are now ready to start your journey into the world of LLM but how do you go about it I hear you ask?  

In this article we will go through the process step by step outlining what is necessary or not when setting up a LLaMa save.   As you will see there's no special formula to it and it may well be pretty much what you do already but it's worth outlining so you get off to the best start possible in Football Manager.
