Championship Manager Thread

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

The FM thread seems to have turned into a CM01/02 thread so its probably worth making a thread for it and the other games in the Championship Manager series.

I dont think ive actually played a CM since the dire CM4, anybody actually like that one?

[FireDoughnut]

I have loved all of the CM games, until Football Manager arrived.

Good times (Y)

Was CM4 the one with the hideous layout and Comic Sans font?

[FireDoughnut]

I think so..

Also, Daniel Bierofka FTW!

CM4 was awful. Why did I buy it

CM 01/02 was the best. I may boot that up later tonight.

[brenchill]

CM4 was awful but the update 03/04 was awesome. I remember being able to get Lampard on-loan at the beginning and Pennant becoming available on a free at the end of the first season because when he was a decent Arsenal youth prospect.

97/98 was the first one I really played first and remains my favourite to this day. I used to like starting up with Liverpool, you had Karl-Heinz Riedle, Fowler and Owen to sort the Premier League out, I remember playing non-stop on a half-term from school and racking up ten consecutive leagu titles. Good times.

Sadly, for me at least, you had to go into MS Dos to install or run it. I still have the CD, just can't get it to work.

I love this game. I think my first non-crappy EWR related topic on this forum was on CM 01/02. I still play it a lot cause it's far better than any new FM game.

LIONEL MORGAN!!

[supergrass]

I just found out a way to play 97/98 on XP. There goes my upcoming long weekend.

[brenchill]

What a legend Morgan was. He started out on the first FM with a broken leg though .

[King Ellis]

CM4 was kinda rockin, I won the FA cup and UEFA cup as Everton as I recall, Rooney FTW. But back that I had a crappy computer so I had to uninstall CM01/02 to make room and lost my legendary Leeds/Chelsea game in the process which sucked.

Willem Korsten, the worlds best left winger

He's injured at the start for ages. So is Steven Carr. Tottenham always start in a really hard position.

I hated it how Leicester always did so well in CM01/02. It really annoyed me for some reason.

In CM01/02 for me it was always Middlesborough and Ipswich that were godlike and always ended up winning the premiership

Staretd a game as Spurs.

Doing awful, Kasey Keller is shit.

Brought in Westervelt in to replace him but he's injured for 3 months now.

[METALMAN]

You have Neil Sullivan!

And that Iraqi guy. :/

[Dan]

I sold Sullivan straight away thinking it would be easy to replace him.

Oh how I was wrong.

And Kelly is the third choice 'keeper.

01/02 is all about the Sebastien Frey, Dsomething Chiotis (sp?) and Franco Costanza (if you can get a WP).
