Gameplay

The game is based around the 2005–06 footballing season. At the start of the game, you are asked to select the club you want to manage. You have a selection of 114 clubs, ranging from 6 different leagues to choose from. These are:

Premier League of England.

Reception

The game received fairly negative reviews, with critics pointing to the awkward interface and lack of official league and team licences and comparing the title unfavourably to other management simulation series such as LMA Manager and Championship Manager. Several team managers and team names are incorrect.
