The Chairman

You're not the manager. You're the Chairman.

The Chairman is a football club management game that lives in the corner of your screen. The matches play themselves while you work, study or watch something else. You make the calls that decide where the club goes: who comes in, who leaves, what a seat costs and when to build.

Made to run beside your day

• Three sizes. A 300×50 strip with your position and form, a 300×300 window with the last result and the next match, or the full club office.
  
• Always on top. Drag it anywhere on your screen. The full view can be resized.
  
• You set the pace. NEXT plays one matchday. AUTO plays half a season in anything from 1 to 60 minutes.
  
• It calls you when it matters. The strip pulses gold when there is a decision to make, and the season pauses at the winter window, at season end and before every decision.
  
• Time only moves while the game is open. Minimized counts.

Every transfer is a negotiation

Two parties have to agree: the club that owns the player, and the player, who has to want the move. Your scout gives you an estimate with a margin, and a better scout narrows it. Rival clubs bid for your players, and turning down an offer a player wanted has a cost. Young players can wait on a development list or go out on loan for a season of real games.

The money is yours to run

Set ticket prices and sell season tickets. Sign a shirt sponsor and sell the stadium's name. Build new stands in works that take half a season. Stock the club shop for the right half of the season. Borrow against the squad if you have to. Keep losing money and the club goes under, and your career with it.

A world that plays without you

200 clubs in 10 divisions, with promotion, relegation and play-offs. Three domestic cups that cover the whole pyramid, and three continental competitions for the top flight. Every AI club has its own budget and chases the same players you do.

Your staff tell you why

After every match, one line on why you won or lost. At mid-season and at the end of it, your technical director, assistant manager, scout, data analyst, medical team, youth director and commercial director each report on their area.

The 30-Season Challenge

Thirty seasons from the Tenth Division. Every run has a seed code: share it and a friend plays the same clubs and the same markets. Your best score for each seed stays in your local records.
