Create another manager and then take over the team "you" just got sacked from.

One of my favorite cheats is to add a manager to another squad, then buy one of my own players for a huge tranfer fee. :D I'm now controlling (though I only play this one very rarely) a Northern Irish First Division team that has 100 million pounds in the bank.

I like to add Man Utd and Rangers, and have them sell all the players, fire all the coaches, and buy all the crap players I can find.
Still Man U seems to find a way to win, but I can ruin Rangers - can't ever get them relegated though.

Perhaps you should try some different tactics for Man U. I like to utilize the 0-0-11 formation, setting the With and Without Ball setting for huddled in the far corner. Works like a charm.

I try not to mess with the actual games anymore. I used to play Dwight Yorke in goal, but that wasn't as much fun.
One time I got fired for beating Man u 14-0, "Taking the game into disrepute" - wasn't me giving up the 14 goals - Jackass"
Can I type "Jackass"?

I have to let them have some money - so they can buy the crap from around the other teams i'm running.
Basically they buy bad players, have no coaching staff or scouts, sell any talent, train poorly, and they win.
Sounds like someone [Marc] is a Man U supporter.

Sounds like someone [Marc] is a Man U supporter. During my aforementioned "cheat" game in Northern Ireland, I ended up taking it upon myself to "adopt" a Spanish team (Osasuna).
Started by accident, really. I took over Barcelona so I could buy my own players for a ridiculous sum, but between the contract offer and the player's acceptance, I had to play a match against Osasuna. So I ended up putting together the most illogical tactics for the game...
First, I put in all the worst players on the team (including having five of the outfield players be goalkeepers by trade), set my tactics so the players would literally be running all over the field, set everybody's instructions to mark the opponent's goalkeeper, and used hard tackling in a hope to get as many players red carded as possible. I lost 28-0.
So I decided to have even more fun with it. Every time Osasuna was to play, I'd take over their oponent and screw up the tactics. I ended up playing about four matches like this, and Osasuna was first place, had about 100 goals, and the league's leading goalscorer (who I've never heard of) had about 50 goals.

That does sound like fun. I also like to mess with Lazio, but I can't bring myself to manage Bayern Munich. I enjoy ruining the club to no end - but the thought of their players makes bile come up my throat.
I have my own CM thread which I give the highlights of my game. You can come in and add your highlights if you want.

I may start a new game, name myself Dir T. Sanchez and wreck Real Madrid. And I like my goalies to be struting around midfield myself.

You all should be sacked for bringing the game of Championship Manager into disrepute.

Sometimes, you just have to shake things up just to have a little fun. I go from managing a big club to managing a no-hoper lower division club, to taking one of the giants and running them into the ground. The last option is nice because you don't have to do all the work of training, tactics and picking the right players, and it usually doesn't take long to ruin them completely. Evil is fun.

If you want to be evil than you should be playing GTA3.

Actually, at the moment I'm playing a few seasons in several different leagues. I don't want to get too attached to one team just as the next version of CM comes out!
I played about three seasons as Tottenham and took them into the Chams League all three times, but I've abandoned the game for now (kept it saved) and started a new one as Swansea. Currently I'm four points in first with Swansea and have about a 300,000 pound profit so far this year.
