## What is The Big Chair?

Choose your club and take the chairman’s seat. Make the decisions that will shape the destiny of an entire club community.
The Big Chair is an in-depth football club management simulation that lets you experience the game from the boardroom rather than the touchline. From your coaching staff and transfer policy to club finances and internal politics, the final decision is yours.

RUN YOUR CLUB
Appoint your head coach, build a strong working relationship and stand by the promises you make. Negotiate transfers, renew player contracts, arrange loan deals and follow the development of young talents emerging from your academy.
Keep the wage budget under control, negotiate sponsorship deals, set ticket prices and invest in club facilities. Ambitious goals require serious resources. When necessary, use your connections to raise funds for the club—or put in your own money.

DEFEND YOUR SEAT
Supporters, club members, the board, the press, political figures and the federation all judge the club’s direction differently. A decision that wins over one group may cost you the support of another. Manage crises, maintain the balance of power within the club and answer for your decisions when election day arrives.
If your support collapses, an extraordinary general assembly may be called. Losing an election does not always end your story: move into opposition as the former chairman, collect signatures, demand a new assembly and fight to reclaim your seat.

A LIVING FOOTBALL WORLD
Rival clubs never stand still. They make transfers, rebuild their squads, struggle with financial problems or gain strength through new investors. While you pursue your own plans, the balance of power across the league continues to shift.
Follow matches from the directors’ box. Watch your team’s performance on the pitch, experience the decisive moments and see how every result affects the club community.

THE ROAD TO THE TOP
Compete through the full league pyramid, from the lower divisions to the top flight. Chase upsets in the domestic cup, make your club known in European competition and experience different journeys from the lower leagues to the summit.

YOUR FOOTBALL WORLD
Edit club and competition names however you like. Recreate familiar rivalries or play in a football universe entirely of your own.
A new story every week.
A new consequence with every decision.
A new reckoning every season.
How long can you keep your seat?
The Big Chair is free to play. Optional purchases remove advertisements, unlock different chairman backgrounds and allow you to continue your career as a former chairman after losing an election.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.0 — 2026-10-13

New country: Germany! Ehrenpräsident, German football, is now part of the game. On the main menu, use the arrows beside the chair to pick the country you start your career in. In Germany you'll deal with the 50+1 rule, club licensing, fan culture, the Pokal and German clubs from the top flight down to the third tier, and you can even take charge of the Fußballverband. Each country keeps its own saves, and the packs you have bought work in both.

In English, the game is now called The Big Chair.

A new main menu: a flag chair for Turkey and Settings in the top left. Change team and competition names, the game's language and the app icon on your phone (Classic, Turkey, Germany) from Settings. The game can also be played in German.

VoiceOver support for blind and visually impaired players: information is read out item by item, amounts such as transfer fees and wages can be adjusted by swiping and the new value is spoken, and goals and the score are announced during matches.

The league table now shows European places, promotion and relegation in colour. The pre-match line-up view has been redesigned.

European prize money has been rebalanced to fit the game's economy. Player and coach names are more varied, and the chairman editor has eye options and new hairstyles.

Bug fixes: a player could still be sold after his contract was renewed without a release clause, an offer paid in instalments counted as paying the release clause, the wrong week in relegation news, and trophies only appearing on the chairman's profile at the end of the season.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-10-11

Chairman profiles go deeper! The Ultras, Politician, Ex-Footballer and Tycoon chairmen now have their own events and effects that last a whole career: backing from the stands, doors opened by politics, old teammates and the demands that come with wealth.

Club debts now reflect real figures. Claims from unpaid players and clubs go to the UFFB and, once the deadline passes, lead to transfer bans and points deductions; claims can be paid from the Debts screen.

The Debts screen has been reworked: the Banks Association restructuring works like the real protocol (2-year grace period, 10 years in total), debts can be repaid early from the club’s cash, and the borrowing limit now depends on the club’s revenue and bank debt.

The financial general assembly and the term report no longer count exchange-rate swings as new debt. Facility shortfalls you inherited when taking office no longer count against you either.

When a star player wants a move to a bigger club, the decision is yours: sell him or keep him.

Loan players no longer hand in transfer requests; if they are unhappy, they ask for the loan to be cut short.

Sort the squad by contract, and see transfer fees in a player’s career history.

Bug fixes: missing positions in the starting eleven, caretaker coaches appearing in the club’s coach history, the wrong competition table after European qualifying, small leftovers after repaying a debt early, and a release-clause signing being blocked by the arch-rival rule.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-10-09

The road to Europe is now shaped by the country coefficient! Places are set by the country ranking each season; clubs go through qualifying and play-off rounds to reach the main stage. Follow the rankings on the Federation screen.

The Bosman rule is here! You can agree terms for next season with players who have less than six months left on their contract. Rivals can sign players under the Bosman rule too: a player whose contract you don’t extend in time can leave on a free at the start of next season.

The spending limit is now calculated differently: the average income and costs of the last three seasons, the club’s debt and an exchange rate fixed for the season. New sponsorships, player sales and European income raise the limit during the season.

Properties and the euro term deposit are now held in euros, so their value no longer swings with the exchange rate. The lira term deposit has been removed; its balance has been moved to your personal funds in full.

Fixed an issue where a loan player’s purchase option could not be exercised. The option can now be used from the loan player’s profile.

League stats for players in foreign leagues are now recorded in full.

Facility upgrade costs have been updated.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-10-03

Rewrite history! You can now take the chairman's seat in past eras and steer seasons that already happened with your own decisions. With the 2010s pack you can pick any season from 2010/11 to 2019/20, with the 2020s pack any season from 2020/21 to 2025/26.

Every season opens as it really was: that year's clubs, league structure, stadiums, foreign player rule, cup format, European competitions and economy. Museums and lists of champions follow the year you choose.

When you reach 2026 your career carries straight on into the present day, and the future keeps being written by your decisions.

Banks now lend more.

Fixes: Tapping the advance button quickly in the Federation no longer skips weeks, and the foreign player rule warning no longer appears twice on the transfer screen.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-30

Transfer frenzy: Fans now demand signings! Each summer the stands set their hearts on a star. Deliver and the club celebrates; fail, or watch him join your fiercest rival, and the board takes the blame.
Club anniversaries: Your club's milestone years are celebrated on the home screen and in the news.
Many language improvements throughout the game.
Bug fixes and improvements.
