His wife, Karine, opens her beauty salon, so it looks like they are gonna settle down for a while, but there is slight hiccup. It turns out Wirral County is struggling in every single match, so Mike’s future with the club is in serious doubt.

Sitcom based around main character from movie Mike Bassett: England Manager, this time the mockumentary style was replaced with rather typical sitcom, which lost a lot of originality. On the other hand the creators shown the reality of lower league clubs, where there are no stars, no big budgets and even tiny problems could quickly threaten the existence of the whole club. Mike Bassett: Manager is not a great sitcom, it ran for just one season (6 episodes), but it kept the charm of the original production and could be quite funny at moments.
