Here’s the official X account for the fabulous Boss93 management game. Originally built in homage to the Classic Championship Manager 93 game but it has expanded into a whole lot more than that over the recent months 😀
BOSS93@boss93comOct 13
Football management the way it felt in 1993. BOSS93 has 11 classic editions, from Germany 91/92 to Scotland 96/97. Pick your club, set the shirts, and sweat every bar of the live match. Play it in your browser, on iOS or Android. Link in bio.

We have conceded three goals and they have barely had to try to create them. We are in massive trouble, regardless of the reasonable results to date

25 years ago today. The greatest management sim of all time was released. A quarter of a century later, we still love the legends of Samba, Moukoko, Kerr and Taribo West from this iconic, cultural game. 25 years, still going strong, Championship Manager 01/02

Sunday save. QPR. No restrictions other than building a squad around youngsters Quashie, Gallen and Slade who must play if fit. See what their ceiling is

A low point for my “let’s loan everyone out” strategy having to field this team in a Champions League semi final

There are times when you think AI has gone too far, but then there are moments when you see Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air scoring Mesut Özil's goal against Ludogrets, and suddenly it all feels worthwhile.
