Club Chairman

You're not the manager, you're the CHAIRMAN. Hire and fire managers, survive transfer windows, and keep the ultras out of the boardroom. Bankroll Barcalana, dodge bankruptcy, and try not to get voted out. It's football without all that annoying running.

About the Game

YOU DON'T KICK THE BALL. YOU SIGN THE CHECKS.

Everyone thinks they can manage a football club. You're going to prove them wrong from a leather chair, with a spreadsheet, while the fans scream your name (rarely lovingly).

Welcome to Club Chairman, the football game where you never touch a tactics board. You're the chairman. You hire the geniuses, fire the frauds, sign the wonderkids, and pray the accountant stops crying. Somebody has to take the blame, and congratulations: it's you.

HIRE THEM. FIRE THEM. Repeat. Your manager has a formation, a mentality, and a very fragile ego. Keep him happy and he'll develop your squad into legends. Ignore his transfer demands and he'll resign faster than you can say "vote of confidence." When it all goes wrong (it will), show him the door and gamble on the next tactical mastermind.

SURVIVE THE TRANSFER WINDOW The market is open and everyone wants something. Your manager wants a striker. The fans want a different striker. Your budget wants you to stop. Buy, sell, and haggle your way through chaos, just don't sell the one player the ultras built a banner for.

THE FANS ARE WATCHING. ALWAYS. Fund the away-day coaches. Approve the giant tifo. Fire the manager they hate  or back him and hope the results shut everyone up. Every fan demand is a beautiful little trap, and satisfaction is the currency that keeps you employed.

DON'T GO BROKE. DON'T GO DOWN. DON'T GET VOTED OUT. Three ways to lose your job, and only one way to keep it: results. Balance the books, dodge relegation, and win the chairman election or become another cautionary tale in club history.

FEATURING TEAMS YOU DEFINITELY RECOGNIZE (Legally, You Don't) Take the reins at powerhouses like MinchistirCity, Livirpiil, MunchusturUnutud, RaalMadrad, Barcalana, and BuyurnMunuch. Any resemblance to real, trophy-hoarding clubs is a complete and total coincidence that we are very confident about.

KEY FEATURES

  • Run a club as the chairman the money, the drama, none of the jogging

  • Hire, fire, and manage managers with their own tactics and moods

Football, minus the running. The chair is comfy. The job is not.
