They Don’t Do Paying Their Way

It’s Friday afternoon and even Rangers fans might have to laugh at this:

There have been numerous [football computer] games throughout the history of the genre which have fallen by the wayside: Sierra’s Ultimate Soccer Manager, Elite’s Complete Onside Soccer and… Ally McCoist’s Director of Football.

Released in 2001, the game allows you to manage some of the less glamorous sides of the game, including the expansion of your stadium, negotiating contracts and finding sponsorship. If you ever wanted to be part of the decision making process on the number of car parking spaces by your stadium, you genuinely can in this simulation.

However, given the current state of Rangers, McCoist may regret his name appearing on a game which appears to offer the opportunity for wannabe Directors of Football to avoid paying tax. At the end of each in-game season your club is presented with a tax bill, but you can decide to risk further repurcussions by only paying a fraction of the money owed.
