Four years after guiding England to the World Cup semi-finals, Mike finds himself at a crossroads in life. The top clubs aren't interested in him, and the bottom clubs don't seem too keen either.
As Mike ponders retirement on the Costa Del Sol, he finally gets the offer he's been waiting for: a post at Wirrall County F.C.
This was a TV spin-off from the 2001 film Mike Bassett: England Manager.
