Advantages: Very addictive game

Disadvantages: A bit unrealistic sometimes(eg, Uruguay won the world cup on my PC!)

This is definitely the best PC game I have ever played in my life! It is far better than the best management game on the Playstation, LMA manager 2001. It's a really addictive football management game, allowing you to manage any team from 15 leagues across the worl, including the Premiership, obviously, Spanish, Italian, French, and needlessly, the MLS, Major League Soccer from the USA. Whot the hell would want to manage a team from that shite! This game is much more addictive than the previous 2 versions of championship manger 3 because it is much easier than both of them, but make sure you put the mentality on defensive on away games and attacking at home, and you should do quite well. It is also much easier to sign players, on a free and for huge amounts of money, your scouts can reccomend a player you have never heard, not even had a cap for his country and still be an great success for the club. Winning the premiership is definitely the hardest task on teh game. I am currently playing as the Man Utd manager, spent £130M and i'm in 3rd, it's too hard. A little advice i'd give you for playing outside England. If you want to manage an Italian club, put your nationality as Italian, and the same for any other foreign leagues. Do this because if you click English, then the players will not understand what you are saying and the tactics of the team will get really poor, and you'll be sacked before you know it!

*UPDATE*

Try the Christmas tree formation and will you will win everything there is to win! (4-3-2-1) On the central midfield player right click on his name and make an arrow facing downwards, so he turns into a defesive midfielder. This way you will have an attacking and defensive formation. Try it out.

I was disappointed by this. Yes it is very detailed and slick but ultimately it has some very stupid aspects to it. For instance, Man Utd never win the title, I have had Tottenham(!), West Ham, and Aston Villa win the premiership. And what about the methods they use to increase the difficulty like making your goalie pay terribly and get 3/10, or their goalie gets 9/10. And last minute equalisers every game! And the game seems to decide about 2 months into the season which team is going to win no matter how good the players you buy. Very annoying!
