Three guesses what this game involves! Actually, make that one guess. You got it - it's that perennial favourite, football, only this game doesn't actually involve any on-the-pitch action. Because you're the manager of the club, you only have to deal with the day-to-day running of it; in other words, all the boring bits like scrutinising gate returns and talking to the bank manager.

Yawn.

Instead of getting to see how your team perform, you get a poorly animated front man telling you what went on in the match. Hardly pulse-racing footballing excitement that you would expect.

Football management is all very well, but where's the "Bobby Robson, pitch-side, screaming at the players" gone? I'm sorry, but it isn't here - and what's a football management game without the actual football?

Manage a football team you never actually see play? Even the crumbly old Football Manager let you watch match highlights. Leave this lacking effort well alone.
