20 Problems Only Football Manager Fans Will Understand

3. Considering Dropping Hundreds Of Pounds On A New Laptop Just To Play The Latest Football Manager

There's a strong argument to be made that, were it not for Football Manager, sales of laptops would probably plummet to something like 0 almost overnight. Tablets can do almost everything else, and nice big desktop computers are now just something most people see in their office. The laptop's only saving grace is that it allows you to work on your training routines and pre-season schedule while you're cooking your dinner in the kitchen. It also lets you sneak back into the front room at 3am to continue your march to a domestic double. However every edition of Football Manager pushed the boundaries of computing ever further, and the £300 Acer you got with your student loan 10 years ago doesn't cut it anymore. Can you really justify dipping into your holiday funds just to play then next instalment of the game? Uh, yes.
