Stelling said: “We’re yet to see how the 2026/27 season plays out, but pre-season hasn’t disappointed – big transfers, new managers, and boardroom drama!

“The question is, could you do a better job of running a football club? That’s what we’re putting to the test with Club Game, where fans can prove if they can run a club better!!”

The game has been created by Formation Games – which was co-founded by ex-FA chief Alex Horne.

Formation Games claim it has 750,000 players after going viral during the World Cup and rising to No 1 in the app store at one point.

Founder Tom Russell added: “The most interesting shift in football isn’t happening on the pitch, it’s in the boardroom.

“Every fan has a view on the wage structure, transfer strategy, stadium plans and the staff hires. CLUB is developed as a place fans can prove they could do it better.”
