Just brilliant

My favourite game from my childhood has been improved!

How you have managed to keep the addictive quick fire smoothness while adding in a more layered experience should be really admired.

Already recommended this to several friends 👏👏👏👏

Thank you so much for the review! I'm so happy to read this because this was precisely the goal of this app: keep the amazing game experience of the original game while adding some improvements here and there. More to come!

Great retro game

This is one of the best football management simulators around and would especially appeal to fans of Championship Manager 93/94. It’s challenging and very addictive, especially if you manage a lower league team.

Thanks so much for your review! A lot more is yet to come.

Unbelievable! The best champo!

My first champo back in the day and this is nostalgia in an app!! BUT with all the extras you could dream of! Feels just like the original, and then some. Love the constant updates and new leagues. Plus being able to sign players like gazza!!! The real life players appearing in the season they appeared in real life is an amazing addition..THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for your review! Some more leagues available to play: Germany, France, Norway and Brazil.

Very good but not without flaws

As many others have said, stays true to the spirit of the original game, and is very enjoyable in that sense. The game does have its glitches though, and still feels like a work in progress. Although in fairness, that also mirrors any release of Football Manager in the last 20 years.
Other absurdities exist which are somewhat more annoying, in particular around club budgets; I’m yet to fathom why, if managing Liverpool, I can barely afford any transfer, and am routinely outbid for players by Everton, Sheffield Wednesday, Tranmere, and even Barnsley.
The end of season winnings at the end of a successful season also seem quite detached from reality irrespective of who you’re managing (£1m for winning the PL?!). And I’m supposed to believe I can only attract enough fans to fill the stadium of a Premier League club to around 65% capacity. Ok.
Still plenty of work to do I think, but it’s very promising…

Hi Neilus1, thanks so much for your review! This is indeed a work in progress as the game was just release a couple of weeks ago, still a lot to do. - On budgets, game is very rewarding financially if you are able to buy talent cheap and then develop it. Otherwise you might have problems renewing your old players. This is 1993, where team budgets and prizes were really low comparing to what is today! However, we do have a setting called Classic Mode that puts things a little bit more close, in terms of AI teams bidding requests, making it easier to sign players (AI clubs don't ask that much). It's under settings, Classic Mode. - I'll definitely check that 65% fill capacity on Anfield. Seems odd indeed. Again, thanks a lot for your review and doubts!

Quality

Is it possible to make lay unlimited seasons in a career or 30 yrs like the original ?

Response from developer

Unlimited seasons, you can play as many as you want and can :D . Thanks so much for your review!

Amazing Game Full of Nostalgia

What an amazing game. Takes me back to the days of the original but it fixes all the bugs and annoyances of back then. You can actually sign foreign players!!!! Dev keeps updating and is adding in real world players to appear in the years they would in real life. Seriously, how is this free.

Anyone of a certain vintage will be taken back to a simpler time and this game is a brilliant time killer that also doesn’t drain battery.

Can’t wait to see what new updates bring

Thanks a lot for your review Kieran, so much appreciated! A lot more to come but always with the same spirit of the old days. Simple, fast and sharp.

Oh, thank you so much Paulo. You're very kind! Happy you enjoyed and much more to come.

I can’t stop playing! 😀

Boss93 is an incredible homage to the original Championship Manager ’93. It captures everything that made the classic so addictive while introducing thoughtful quality-of-life improvements that make it even more enjoyable to play.

What I love most is that it stays completely true to the spirit and essence of the original game. It feels nostalgic without being outdated, striking the perfect balance between classic gameplay and modern refinements.

This isn’t just a game for old-school Championship Manager fans, either. It’s a genuinely high-quality football management game that newcomers can easily pick up and enjoy.

I love this game, finally a decent old school manager game on the iPhone. Developer listens to suggestions implements them and fixes bugs straight away. England, Italy and Spain leagues so far with enhanced transfer lists and many improvements on the original
Game from back in the day.

Can't Open The Game?

Won't let me get past entering my first name. A shame as is was looking forward to some retro football gaming.

Hi Gary. Thanks for the review! Please update to the latest version and you should see some additional buttons after you type in your name. Early versions required you to send a "ENTER" keystroke to move forward but that has been improved. Give it another try please!

Awesome throwback

Classic on my phone, bug reports dealt with so quickly. Game being developed at a rate of knots, new databases popping up - incredible!

Thanks for the review. I'm so happy you've enjoyed this!

Fantastic

Wonderful homage to an all time classic that got so many of us on the road to a lifetime of management sims.
Scales really well in all formats. Developer is really active to address bugs and take on board suggestions.
If you are a fan of CM93 you will love this
