Why can’t I take over a top team straight away?

Quite a few Football Chairman Pro users contact us to ask why they can’t take over a top-flight club right at the start of the game.

The fact is – we want the game to be fun and challenging. And although taking over at United/City/Chelsea (or whoever) might seem like the most exciting option, actually being in charge at a rich, successful club isn’t really as interesting as the challenge of building up a smaller team.

Most users find that the most enjoyable parts of the game are the early stages where you're getting the hang of things and are helping your tiny club to climb the divisions.

If you could go straight in as chairman of a top club with loads of money and great players, the app would be too easy and would become boring very quickly.

Plus… it’s a game, and like most games, you need to work your way to the top, rather than just jumping straight in at the end goal.

You need to prove your skills and build up your chairman reputation before you’re allowed the glory of being in charge of the biggest clubs in the world!
