The latest version of Football Manager, the popular management simulation game is released this Friday, promising up-to-date realism and data.
And if you are thinking of purchasing the game and becoming the next David Wagner, you will be faced with a number of sides with bigger transfer and wage budgets to compete with.
Each side's transfer and wage budget can be a massive factor when deciding which team to control with Huddersfield Town having a maximum £1.43 million transfer kitty and £267,936 wage budget to operate with.
Sounds respectable – until you compare with the likes of Norwich City who have an incredible maximum of £11.63m to spend on new players and a suitably high wage bill to match.
Unsurprisingly, fellow relegated Premier League side Newcastle United also have plenty of financial resources available while Bristol City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Derby County also have more than £5 million to spend in the transfer market.
Meanwhile, at Aston Villa you'll have to sell players to free up cash to operate in the transfer market while if you want a real challenge then look no further than Burton Albion.
The promoted League One side have a meagre £187k to spend with a wage bill of a maximum of £73,845.
Have a look below at the full Championship table of the Maximum Transfer Budget and Wage Budget for each of the sides in the game.
