Good morning! Welcome to CM99/00 week here on ChampManFans. Starting tomorrow, we’ll be bringing you a three part blog about Euro 2000 but to get you in the mood, we’ve got a man who actually knows what he’s doing to give you the rundown on why this is a forgotten gem of the series. Chris Fuller (Fuller_FM) has blogged about CM99/00 so we’ll hand over to the expert. Do join us for the rest of the week though where we’ll have a whole lot of fun and prizes to be won (actual prizes!)…
CM99/00 might be the forgotten sibling of the Championship Manager family. It’s not as revolutionary as CM3, or as hugely popular as CM01/02, but this game still holds a special place in my heart. After playing the CM3 demo a lot as a kid, this was my first full Champ Man experience.
Where else could you build on Manchester United’s Treble winners? I tried that in my first ever save… and failed so miserably that I ended up at Barnsley in the Third Division. Admittedly, I was only 9 years old, but things got better once I learned how to put players in the right positions!
My first major Champ Man success was leading England to the 2002 World Cup, beating the mighty Finland on penalties. We also won Euro 2004, with Port Vale striker Anthony Tarr bagging the goals, fellow Valiant Michael Walsh starring at right-back, and Grimsby legend Alan Pouton running the midfield. Forget Owen, Beckham and Ferdinand – that was the REAL golden generation.
CM99/00 also produced lots of attacking talent overseas. As well as the usual Swedish wonderkids (Tonton, Touma, et al), you could buy Iceland’s goal machine Andri Sigþórsson from KR Reykjavik for almost nothing. Kurniawan was the global superstar Indonesia never had, while ex-Middlesbrough flop Jaime Moreno could tear apart defences across the Atlantic.
Yes, this was the first game where you could manage in the American Major League, which was still very new – and very weird. Drawn matches decided by hockey-style penalties, end-of-season play-offs, and Lothar Matthäus’ MetroStars taking on Carlos Valderrama’s Tampa Bay Mutiny FOUR times a year! What’s not to love?
I can't believe someone actually asked this. I had spent countless hours playing this game when I was a kid. I don't have a full recollection of tactics I used. Championship Manager 99/00 is a soccer team management video game developed by Eidos Interactive as part of the. The game puts you in the seat of a soccer team manager, whose job is to make sure that the team makes progress.
Also new on CM99/00 – the ability to discipline your players. Yes, you could fine your players up to 4 weeks’ wages for having a bad game, getting sent off, or looking at you funny. If anyone wonders why I run my clubs with an iron fist, blame this.

Other games may get all the attention, but CM99/00 was the title that turned me into an addict. Whether it’s turning Leverkusen’s nearly men into German champions, taking Napoli back up from Serie B, or simply ending Scotland’s 23-year tournament drought before it begins, there are loads of exciting challenges worth taking on.
I love all the depth and detail that comes with the modern Football Manager games and play FM21 almost every day. But every now and then, I get this nostalgic itch that needs to be scratched. CM99/00 takes me back to a time when things were simpler, a season could be finished in a week, and Arsenal were actually good at football. I can’t see myself ever hanging up that old sheepskin for good.
