Mike Bassett: Manager

Mike Bassett: Manager is a follow-up to the film Mike Bassett: England Manager.

The series picks up some time after Mike took England to the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup. Mike decides to retire, but at the last minute is offered the manager's job at Wirral County F.C., for whom his father was a player. They seem doomed to be relegated to the Football Conference. Not helping his job is the fact that the chairman is senile, the chief executive is eagerly awaiting relegation so that he can sell their ground, and wife Karine isn't pleased with the idea of retiring in Ellesmere Port rather than Spain.
