The Football Manager Bible

The Football Manager Guide to Football Management is for everyone who's ever watched their favourite football team and thought "I could do a better job than our manager". More specifically, this book is for everyone who's ever had that thought and then tried to prove their point by taking the hotseat in the ever-popular management simulation Football Manager. While most would-be football managers might feel that they are blessed with innate tactical awareness, man management skills and a gift for dealing with the media, even the most hardened Football Manager player would have to admit that there is much to be learned from those who ply their trade in the real world. So, if you want to know how to lay down a club-wide template for free flowing football and boundless success, then who better to ask than Brendan Rodgers? Or if you want to know how to advance from the lower leagues to the Premier League while following your instinctive desire to produce intelligent, entertaining teams, then surely you'd turn to Roberto Martinez? Or maybe you want to know how to quickly improve your team - either by using the transfer market or just by cheering up the players? In that case, you'd seek out Harry Redknapp. If you have, at some point in your life, imagined yourself in a tracksuit, waving your arms in the air on the touchline; if you've ever held a press conference in your head, or scribbled out a perfect XI on the back of beer mat then The Football Manager Guide to Football Management is for you. After all, you're already a football manager... you just haven't been appointed yet.
