Briefly, for the benefit of those who have somehow missed out on the delights of Championship Manager during its long, glorious reign as king of the football manger genre, it’s a defiantly non graphical experience that allows you to take charge, mould and get involved at a minute level with every facet of controlling a football team. At the very basic level, you get to take charge of a club of your choice from just about any club team in the known universe, pick the team, buy and sell players, decide on your tactics and send them out to play season after season until you a) get fired for being crap, or b) you get good, and – in all probability – become totally, ridiculously hooked to the point where you’ll be playing Champ Man (as it’s affectionately known to the fans) for every spare minute of the day.
