Title: Championship Manager Post by: Sark79 on June 13, 2006, 03:51:33 PM Do you think that it would be possible to transfer the skills learned on the PS2 to real life?
I know f1 drivers learn tracks by using computer games. Could a reasonably intelligent person who had a massive interest in football and an extensive knowledge of the game become a real life manager?

Indeed, I once applied for the Bolton job citing no experience other than my CM exploits. I wasn't surprised when I didn't hear back from them, but I was shocked when I heard they'd given the job to Roy McFarland!! Also, I remember reading once that, when Notts County put an ad in the paper for a new manager, 3/4 of the applicants had CM experience and nothing else. |
