CM 2008 > Guides > League Guides > English League One

As the third tier in English football, League One is a highly competitive league, combining a mixture of teams who have come up through the lower leagues and other teams who have traditionally operated higher up the footballing ladder but have fallen on hard times.

League Structure:

- Top 2 teams are promoted automatically
- Teams finishing 3rd - 6th contest play offs, with the winner being promoted
- Bottom 4 teams are relegated

CM FOCUS

 
CM 2010 section
We will soon be starting work on our new CM 2010 section, which should be up within the next week.

I hope to build up some comprehensive lists of all the best players, tactics, set pieces routines and training schedules.

I am also hoping to start a new Lower League Section, with help and guides for those who chose to start their managerial careers further down the footballing ladder.

If anyone is interested in helping with the Lower League section or any other area of the site, then please send me an e-mail at jonathan@champ-man.com
