Pub Team Manager 16 is not the Plus/4 game made smaller. It was designed from scratch for the 16K Commodore 16, around what really happens in a small pub league: the players are whoever turns up, the money comes from subs and the raffle, and the league fines you for everything.

Sign the lads on, decide whether you can afford a new kit or just the sandwiches, work the pub on Thursday, and find out on Sunday morning who's hungover, who's drunk and who woke up in Halifax. Short? Play a ringer, borrow one of theirs, or let the ref decide. Can't pay? No fees, no fixtures. You're out.

Eight pubs, home and away, then the same again next season. A comedy, more a parody of football management than the real thing.
