Imagine having to buy a new copy of FM every 6 months instead of 12! You see the release of CM03/04 had come just 6 months after the release of its predecessor CM4. Was everyone just annoyed that this latest release was just yet another expensive update, a criticism we still hear every year today? Essentially yes, but this time was worse, much worse. But there was a simmering of discontent within the community. CM4 and how Sort It Out SI got its nameĢ003 was a strange time for the series, back then the game was called Championship Manager rather than Football Manager and in December 2003 we were all a few seasons deep into CM03/04 which had been released a couple of months earlier.
This is the story of how it came to be the website you all know and love today.
