This football manager review has gone viral because it’s a Brexit voter complaining about the consequences of Brexit

This review spotted over on the iPhone version of Football Manager 2017 is amazing – as @Chrisapplegate over on Twitter writes, “TFW [that feel when] you voted Brexit but then get upset the consequences ruin your game of Football Manager”

WARNING- Brexit punishment!

Great game……ruined because of Brexit! All starts good then you get Brexit news messages appear now and then, all seems harmless at first, but then when you get midway into season 3 of the game it tells you Britain leaves the EU. Time for celebrations right….wrong. Once this happens you have to get work permits for ALL EU players. This kills the game for me as it makes it near impossible to sign Spanish,German, Italian etc players. If your like me and enjoy starting as a low team and grabbing young players at bargain prices it’s now near impossible. All I can sign is British players that cost a fortune as all work permits get refused (Tried to sign 20+ players). This game feels like we’re being punished by the developers for leaving the EU, they need a work permits OFF option, which even if you buy all unlockables there isn’t. Really ruined the game for me haven’t bothered to play it since, ok yes we’re leaving the EU but come on it’s a game they didn’t need to put this in.
