NEW POST: Nice and Crystal Palace look to be easing through their Champions League groups so are we nearing the end of this save? Go Ahead are averaging about 4 goals a game in their matches but is it sustainable?

Today is of course a sad day in the football calendar. Years ago, when kids would play out on an evening, the night the clocks went back would be the last time you’d see some of your mates until Spring.
A fairly surreal Wednesday when it starts with @TomCraine and @maxrushden laughing at old Peter Beardsley on Last Match Then Bed!

NEW POST: Nice face a tough qualifier to take their place in the Champions League group stage. Goalkeepers are desperately needed but are in short supply - can our trio of clubs kick on?

Here’s the official X account for the fabulous Boss93 management game. Originally built in homage to the Classic Championship Manager 93 game but it has expanded into a whole lot more than that over the recent months 😀
Incidentally if you now have the CM9798 bug, the original game is still playable on laptops, macs, iPhones and more…

I’ve taken CM 26/27 offline.
It started as a personal project for a few friends and became something I never expected. Thank you for every message and save story.
A few words on why, and a goodbye:

We have conceded three goals and they have barely had to try to create them. We are in massive trouble, regardless of the reasonable results to date

25 years ago today. The greatest management sim of all time was released.
A quarter of a century later, we still love the legends of Samba, Moukoko, Kerr and Taribo West from this iconic, cultural game.
25 years, still going strong, Championship Manager 01/02

A low point for my “let’s loan everyone out” strategy having to field this team in a Champions League semi final
