Just thought I would create a thread dedicated to all the old versions of Championship Manager in order to stop it seeping into the new Football Manager threads. A quick run-down of my game so far.

Blackburn Rovers (version: 99/00)

Picked so that I could start in a lower division and work my way into the Premiership. Possibly the easiest of all time to do it with (aside from Middlesbrough in 97/98).

The season finished with me going unbeaten whilst winning the League Cup and FA Cup double after a massive squad overhaul which sees me now with just one original player in the starting line-up in Matt Jansen:

My Stand out player was a 775k signing from Necaxa:

I was going to try and so some screens for my CM 97/98 games but for some reason the print screen button doesn't work on that game ?
 
I remember Niclas Alexandersson

D/M/F RLC .

Absolute must buy on CM 97/98. Unfortunately I seemed to have downloaded an updated version of that game where he is already at Sheffield Wednesday.

Tommy Svindal Larsen only makes sporadic appearances on my version of the game as well.
 
Oh good, started up a United save on CM 01/02 yesterday. Only played the first game, Liverpool in the charity shield. Won 5-4 on pens

Purchases so far - Vidic, Evra, Rooney

They're young, and beautiful. Trying to get VDS. He should have come way before he did, so going to make it happen.

Also tried getting Stam back, but didn't work :(
 
Championship Manager 00/01 was the best in the series for me. Spent all summer 2001 updating it with transfers from around the World (Zidane to Real, Inzaghi to Milan etc)

The biggest joy was adding Veron & van Nistelrooy to my United line up :drool:

Starting XI for United

Barthez
G.Neville-Stam-Brown-Irwin
Beckham-Keane-Veron-Giggs
van Nistelrooy-Solskjaer
