Description
What would it be like to control your own football team? To have every player under your control, and every fan calling for your name up in lights, as you lead them to worldwide glory.
Football Manager 2005 gives you the chance to build what you believe to be the best team around, by giving you control of not only what happens on the pitch, but what happens off it too. The teams management follow your word, whether it be changing training schedules or replacing a tired, worn out player with a younger and talented junior. Everything comes down to your call.
You'll win some and you'll lose some over the course of the season, both in the local leagues and the international stage, but in the end you have to ensure that the profits keep rolling in and that your team and supporters are happy in all aspects. Do that, and you'll take them all the way year after year.
All the European and international teams are on offer, with every top flight player. Just be sure you keep under budget.
