Top tip for Football League Manager was to sell virtually all of your team ( I think you could play with about four players) - you'll finish bottom for the first season, but then you'll be able to buy some class a few years later and climb up the league steadily.
Or you could press ESCape and find the variables to change, a la Footy Director 2. It's a pity the SAM was never used to write a proper footy management game because with 512k of ram it could have chucked the old numbers around easily - our own Championship Manager. And perhaps we could even defy convention by writing one in code rather than BASIC. Would SAM C not help here?
