The Double & Soccer Boss are on the list to have a play with.
Played the original FM the other night, and took Hereford up, and at the end of the season, sold off all the 5* players before the game could turn them into 1* for the next season. But being a bit drunk, I forgot the other part of this end of season transfer strategy, and neglected to scoop up all the 1* players I could get.
Started the following season with only 11 players on the books !

Isn't that Greg's philosophy, scoop up all the 1* players he can get. Extra bonus if they are injury prone.

What game would it be around the mid-90’s, I had it on PC, it was a Management Sim, but you could also build your Ground up etc too?
Any ideas Blumineauxnoir?

It might have been Fifa Soccer Manager when I think a bit more?

Just Googled this, and from the images that looks to be the one! Cheers! Had a great save on it, took a lower League Italian team in a 2k Stadium to winning the Champions League 5 years in a row on that! 😀

There was a management game where every so often you had to fill the advertising boards up but can't remember the name of it.

Think this was also the one where you could offer bungs ? Don`t remember it ever covering outside the UK leagues though ?! I`ve got it somewhere in the house, will find the box, and have a look. And yes, Premier Manager was the one where you had to click on the ad boards, and fill them up for extra dosh. That was the original one, that came with a wheel inside the box, that you had to match up with codes, to play it each time. There`s a later version of it available on Steam, and is often on sale for about 60p

Wow ! I had no idea this existed ! The box I have doesn`t have the Italian colours on the bottom half. I`ve got the Championship Manager boxes of the German/French/Italian, and I think Spanish versions, somewhere, but had no idea other games were producing the European leagues.

Football Italia was all the rage, probably why I picked up that version!

Had the CM one, but there was a bug with it, so once you filled out the squad with 50 players, you couldn`t sign any more, and couldn`t release players to make way, and it was so hard to sell them.
