Premier Manager/Main Menu

The main menu is the hub of the game; it's where you find links to all the useful information about your club and players, as well as other things.

As the image on the right shows, the top of the screen displays information about you and your club (your name, your team's name, your league position and your next fixture). The rest of the screen is filled with icons, and this section explains what each icon on the menu is and what they do.

Ground Improvements
This screen is used for 2 very important things: improving your club's stadium and sorting out sponsorship deals.


 * Ground Improvement: When you click on an element of your stadium, such as "seating capacity" or "scoreboard", some info will be displayed in the top-right of the screen saying what improvement can be made and how much it will cost. To confirm you want to make the improvement, click on the info that appears.


 * Advertisement Boards: The sponsorship advert at the very bottom of the screen shows what sponsors are available to you. Click on the arrows next to it to scroll through all the available sponsors and see how much they are offering. To accept sponsorship deal, click on one of the blank sponsor boards above (you have 48 blanks spaces to begin with).

Transfer Market
This is the place to go when you want to buy new players to add to your squad or sell some of your players to raise money. Use the buttons along the bottom of the screen to switch between the different pages of the transfer market screen. Here's what each button does (from left to right):


 * Transfer Market: This the list of all players available for transfer. The columns show how many weeks the player has been on the transfer list, their playing position, name, current club and current division. Unfortunately, you have to view a player to see how good he is or how much he costs. If there are multiple pages, click the transfer market button again to scroll through them.


 * Scout File: Highlight a player and then click this button (the magnifying glass) to view the scout file on that player. This displays the player's ratings and value as well as other info.


 * Apply for player: This is the screen where you make a bid for a player. The total at the bottom of the screen gives you a guide of how much to bid, but it's always wise to bid a bit more in case other teams make a bid. Beware: you only get one chance to bid so make sure you spend enough to get your man!


 * Sell player: As you might have guessed, this is where you sell your unwanted players. To sell a player, just click on his name. If any teams are interesting in buying him, a list of bids will appear. Select the one you want to accept by clicking on it (usually the highest bid!) or if you decide not to sell after all just press the escape key.

League Tables
This screen is where you can view stats such as the current league table, form table, top goalscorers and other info. Click on the buttons along the bottom of the screen to switch between the pages. Here's what each button does (from left to right):


 * League Table: This is simply the current league table for the division you are in.


 * League Form: This table shows the current form of the teams in your league over the last 6 home games and the last 6 away games. The recent results are shown as a line of letters (for example: XDDLWW). Below is a list of what each of these letters means:
 * W = Win
 * L = Loss
 * X = Goal-less draw (0-0)
 * D = Score draw (1-1, 2-2, etc)


 * Club Data: Highlight any team in the league table and click the club data button (the stadium picture) to view stats about that club. It shows some useful things such as who they have in their squad, details of their stadium, what titles they have won and a summary of how good each area of their team is (using star ratings).


 * Position Graph: Highlight any team in the league table and click the position graph button to view a graph of how their league position has varied over the season.


 * Timetable: Highlight a team and click the timetable button to view the full fixture/results list for that team. Click the button again to scroll through the pages.


 * Top Goalscorers: This page shows to top 15 goalscorers in your division.
