The lack of graphics are not serious, given that this is a management game, rather than a sports simulation, and the game can be as complex as you want to make it. Football fans - check this out. Read Review

I've seen a lot worse, but with a bit more work it could have been a great deal better. Read Review

Helpful Hints
- The Government charges a 33% tax on player transfers.
- The Government charges a 15% tax on gambling wins (C64 version only).
- In Europe, away goals do not count double.
- When an injury occurs during a match the sub is put on, and both teams are re-assessed.
- The league is calculated only on Saturday, not after the midweek games.
- You only have five saves a season. This is displayed as the second inversed number on the save option.
- You cannot have a youth team or extra training without a coach.
- The computer decides to move you up a level if your team is too good, not on anything else. This stops people trying to buy a 1st Division team in the 4th Division. you have to do what the real 4th Division managers would do, i.e. buy bargain/cheap players and sell your really good players to 1st and 2nd Division clubs which will keep your money going.
- If you press 'P' and the squad comes up, put your injured player in.
