Wow. After CM 96/97 and 01/02, this is my favourite footy manager game. I cant really remember much about training, but get your best headerer to mark their keeper at corners, get a good corner taker and sdet corners to 6 yard box. That will get your ball heading centre half 15-20 goals per season ha.

Get Alex Fernandex the striker in at the start. Will go to a L2 club but comfortably will score 20 goals a season in the prem.

I think this is the version on which I regularly signed Ashley Grimes on loan from Man City for Stevenage and he and Steve Morison ran riot in the Conference.

I thought the thread title was refering to the number of managers I could expect to see at Ewood before the season's over.

Sign a young keeper from Millwall reserves called Preston Edwards. He'll be an England player in 4 or 5 years.

Try and get some out of favour players on loan.You might get some of them on 0% wages contribution.
