Just finished this book. Very good about the obsessiveness from Championship Manager and the affect this had had on relationships etc. I can remember around 10 years ago losing whole weekends on this game. Also looks at the the players who were stars in the game and scouting systems throughout the world so many young stars come through football manager. Maybe someone should get Harry Redknapp the latest version. |  | | |  |

I definitely would have got better GCSE, A Level and Degree marks if it wasn't for that bloody game.
Can't take those consecutive European Cups won with Castel Di Sangro away from me though can they? |  | | |

I would always sign andri sigporsson and now I read he's retired and opened a bakery!whilst his younger brother is playing for Ajax. Doudou was way too good one year too. |  | | |

my biggest achievement was getting Karl Connoly a legitimate England cap (no add international manager cheating) at the age of 33. The QPR team on 01/02 in div 2 although financially bankrupt was outstanding. buy Mike Duff from cheltenham for 24k and let richard paquette blossom into the countries most sought after marksman. |  | | |

YES!
Championship Manager 3 I think it was, he was immense. As was Zlatan Muslimovic and a guy called Derek Boateg (their spelling mistake not mine) who had shit stats but would bag you 20+ goals a year no matter what league. Think he played for Kalamata. |  |

Tonton Zola Moukouko
Also, randomly, Alan Pouton at Grimsby one year was good for 12-15 worldies a season. | | | |

Remember that. Pouton would inevitably play for England in my ones. Also the developers must have been Pompey fans because Southampton were impossible to keep up. As were Carlisle. | |

it was a far more interesting game when we had no money and you had to work hard to get Bosmans or players from lower leagues.
I usually dont play QPR on more recent versions - its too easy. |  |

That is a really scaled back version. I also dont find it anywhere near as realistic as the main game. | |

Eddie Johnson (the American) up front would guarentee you 40 goals a season at any level for about a million quid despite only having good physical stats. | | | |

'Total War Medieval 2', 'Heroes III' and 'World of Tanks' are just as addictive put them all together has taken out weeks of my life.
On a plus point though the amount I drink means I have saved thousands of pounds by killing shit instead.
Silver lining and all that. |  |

Sergey Kisliy. 17 year old Belarussian from MTZ Ripo. Wouldn't get a WP at first but if you kept persisting the game got pissed off and have him one. £100k would get him and by the age of 20 he'd guarentee 30+ a season at any level. | | | |

Champ Manager '97
Make note of Klinsmann, Gascoine etc stats and then sign the 16 year old regeneration which had exactly the same stats.... Could only play for 30 seasons on that though. Was Very Angry at the time when told I had hit max seasons.
00/01 Dean Shiels! Justin Gorcelin (sp) and Mike Duff. Sign all and rule the WORLD [Post edited 15 Aug 2013 10:46]

Kim Kallstrom and Mike Kerr from Dundee. Can't even remember if they were in the same version of the game. All blends into one now.
Robbie Earnshaw used to either be an absolute God or crap due to variation in his potential in one of the old ones.
The new one is maybe a bit too complex - but still bloody love them. £40 seems a bit steep for the new one though... | | | |

I always seemed to do well for 6/7 seasons then out of nowhere the team would fail no matter what players I brought in or what tactics I tried. | |

In all my years of watching football, I have to say that computer football games have never ever appealed to me. Partly 'cos I was crap when I did try many years ago but mainly 'cos I like 1st/3rd person adventure/killing type games! |  | | |

Remember one of the earlier versions of Football Manager, playing non-league THE players to get were Scott Huckerby and Jermaine Beckford, who was 16 at the time.
Also if playing in Div 1, Tommi Gronlund could be bought for a song and would put in like important 10 tackles from defensive midfield per game, as well as chipping in at the other end.
The all time best ChampMan player was undoubtely Tonton Zola Moukoko. What a player! Closely followed by sibgorsson (don't know how to do all the foreign lettering!) |  |

The book talks a lot about Tonton Zola Moukoko who was a 15 year old prodigy at Derby, now playing in the Swedish league. Funny as some young stars have made it whilst others are in the equivalent of non league. Also how there are thousands of people playing football manager with their teams every weekend whilst feeling the real managers do not have a clue most of the time. | | | |
