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.
#FM15 : Beating Brian : Will they one day argue who was better, Clough or Darwen?
Brian Clough is one of my favourite managers ever. Not so much because of what he won, or the teams he put together, but more because of the man himself. I know Bob Paisley was probably a better manager. I know that Ferguson hammers him on trophies won. Hell, even Bobby Gould won the FA Cup as a manager. But none of them, and I mean none of them, had the personality, the alluring character and the sheer entertainment value as Brian Clough.
And we’re underway, Mansfield Town kicking from left to right…
That’s right, the referee has blown the whistle and the game is underway.
The Higher Tempo Press? Isn’t that just a mishmash of Football Manager and Football Hipster terminology?
