FM15 : Beating Brian : Chasing the Championship
As I said last week, I am a disciple of Brian Clough. I know many others have probably achieved more in management, but for me he was, in his own words, “in the top one.” When I decided what save to embark upon for the beginning of The Higher Tempo Press it could only be something that might go close to emulating the great man. If you want to know in full why I am attempting to overhaul his trophy total between 1971-1981 then go and read the first instalment here… If not, let’s go!
Classic Championship Manager : I’d love it if you were Newcastle (part two)

Books : "Football Betting Tips & Systems: A Simple 6 Step Strategy"
I’ve always been a frustrated gambler, looking for that system that means I can beat the bookies and have that extra bit of cash in my back pocket. Actually no, why am I playing it down? Throughout my adult life I have dreamed of being a professional gambler, making enough each month not to worry about having a “real job.”
A couple of months ago I was sitting in a local café in Torrevieja and I got chatting to another ex-pat. Naturally we got round to talking about what we’re doing out here and this guy told me that he made his money from gambling, and hadn’t lost a bet in over a month. My ears pricked up and it started from there…
FM15 Beating Brian : Searching the Stats
“Searching the Stats” was originally posted on the excellent Alex Stewart’s website Put Niels in Goal – you can view the original here. I’ve decided to re-use it here to give those of you that hope to follow “Beating Brian” some context as to my recruitment methods. So, here it is.
Classic Championship Manager: Beyond Your Wildest Reims…
Away from all the drama, corruption and controversy surrounding football these days, football management games are, ironically, the best escape. I say ironically because with every new version released in glossy shrink wrap, the games converge more towards reality than ever before. For some, Football Manager has become saturated with complexity and turned gamers off. I admit to being one of them although that hasn’t stopped me from buying most of them since 2005 with hope of finally breaking away from my true love – Championship Manager 01/02.
Classic Championship Manager : I’d love it if you were Newcastle….
Welcome to what will hopefully become a regular feature here at The Higher Tempo Press as I take look back through the evolution of Championship Manager. Of course, nowadays we know the game as Football Manager, but back in the 90s the days of the 3D pitch and deciding where to send your scouts was a world away. So, please join me in a journey through time, starting with Championship Manager 93/94.
