...for football managers who really couldn't give a fuck....

Be the worst of the worst whats this all about then?

Well, you know about Championship Manager don't you? The #1 worlds bestest footy management game? Ok. And surely you've seen all the Championship Manager Challenges? Well, the "Casual Challenge" is like that. But with a slight difference...

Are you totally sick of the quest for success? Striving for that elusive promotion? Seeking out that 17 year old superstar of the future? Doncha sometimes wish you could:

................. buy Michael Owen for £10 million and then play him in goal?

................. loan your top scorer to the team you are playing in a promotion dogfight next week?

................. try out that revolutionary 1-1-8 formation you'd always dreamed about?

................. release all your best players on free transfers and replace them with the Darlington reserve team?

Well, now you CAN! Now you can BE Alan Ball!!

 

so what do I have to do?

1. Start up a new game of CM9798 as manager of Manchester United.

2. Within as few seasons as possible, be manager of a team that gets relegated down to the the Conference.

What could be simpler?

 

Be the worst of the worst there must be rules, surely?

Oh yes...

1. You can do ANYTHING you like while manager of a club (except buy Carlton Palmer - too easy). ANYTHING! Except for this : you are not allowed to resign. You have to annoy your bosses so much that they sack you.

2. Once sacked you have to wait for an offer to manage a new club comes in, but you have to take the first job that is offered you. No sitting around waiting for that tempting Rochdale offer to happen.

3. Remember, the important thing is that you are manager of a club when relegation from the league is achieved. If you manage this a month before the end of the season and get sacked one week later, you have still done it.

4. NO CHEATING!! No reloading games that you have accidentally won so that you can have another crack at them!

But I give you now this sincere guarantee - these are the ONLY rules! Unlike other Challenges, I will not add other arbitrary rules later on just so I will win (you know who you are..)

Be the worst of the worst so how do I join in?

Send all the evidence to me at mwpvfc@globalnet.co.uk What I particularly want is relevant screenshots, i.e. ....

1. The manager history page ( so I can check you have been sacked, not resigned)

2. The results pages.

3. The league tables

4. The screen telling you that you have been relegated to the conference - no doubt the directors will be SO disappointed!

5. And your performance point ratings.... lets see who can get the fewest!

To get a screenshot, press shift 7 ...... these are then saved to your CM9798 directory as "Mark1"," Mark2" etc. Zip em up and mail em to me!

I will print a table of the best results. We are looking for the quickest plummet, basically. I think with luck you can do it in one season.......... prove me right!

Results are in : click here

Be the worst of the worst bored of going down?

Who can get bored of going down? Ok, if the plummet is getting wearing, try Jocks CM challenge.
