Following up last season's successful football management games, Just Football are set to 17 club specific games for this season in October and top of the list is Chelsea Club Manager.
Fans of Chelsea are all set to have their own specific management games, where they take charge and manage their own club for 10 seasons. Do you really think that you can manage the superstars of the Bridge, old and new, to achieve their undoubted potential. Is it the Premiership, the FA Cup or the Champions League that you set your sights on? Or is it all 3 trophies. Here is your chance to take total control of Chelsea and all those stars, can you handle it? Can you blend a massive squad into a team of winners?
The developer of the game, Smoking Gun's Rob Henderson enthused, "Football fans support one club and that is a simple fact. We feel that Chelsea fans will want to take charge of Chelsea and see how they get on managing the club. Will it be as easy as it looks when they are sat in the stands or watching on TV? That is the question which this game will answer and it is emotional, I mean no Chelsea fan wants to fail do they?"
Just Football's Product Manager, Scott Phillips added "We learned a lot last season with the release of Chelsea Club Manager, we listened to the Chelsea fans and what they had to say about the last version and true to form, we made improvements. We think we know what Chelsea fans want this time round and are confident that we will deliver a compelling game for all Chelsea."
Just Football's Sales Manager, Paul Hyslop summed up, "No one buys a generic football shirt, OK you may buy your national shirt – say England for example, but fans all want their own shirts no matter who they are. Our game is up their with the genre leader Championship Manager which is the equivalent of the England shirt. Chelsea Club Manager is the equivalent of the Chelsea shirt. All Chelsea fans have a wardrobe big enough for two!"
