* BeamMeUpScotty: The scene where Mike delivers a ClusterFBomb of epic proportions at half-time during the England-Mexico match is sometimes remembered as ending with the referee sticking his head into the dressing room and saying "Come on, time for the second half, you bunch of fucking English cunts" or something similar. In reality, that didn't occur in ''England Manager'' (or ''Manager''), but rather the 1999 TV movie ''Bostock's Cup'', which features a very similar scene of the titular team's manager delivering an extremely profane rant during a half-time talk.

** ''England Manager'' can appear somewhat dated to modern audiences, as a result of the film quality, the footballers parodied (nearly all of whom had retired by the early-mid 2010s), the presence of Atomic Kitten (who were active from 1999-2004), plus the storyline being a very specific parody of the circumstances surrounding Kevin Keegan's resignation as England manager in 2000. It helps that the characters are all pretty typical football archetypes such as a striker who can't score, a hard as nails psychopath, a pretty boy attacking player, an uncultured four-four-two or bust manager who gives the team a bollocking when losing, and media writers who can't find a single positive thing to say about their team ever, plus the frantic search for a new England manager is something that usually happens every three to five years,[[note]](In fact, the original script parodied the circumstances of Graham Taylor's resignation as England manager in 1993 -- Doddsy and Lonnie Urquart, who respectively parody Taylor's assistants Phil Neal and Lawrie [=McMenemy=], are the main remnants from this draft -- and it was rewritten and updated when Keegan resigned just before the start of filming)[[/note]] so familiarity with the specific sources isn't quite necessary.
** It's less of a problem for ''Manager'', oddly enough, which mostly references and parodies footballers who played from around the 1950s to the 1970s. The only way this really applies to the series is with the frequent references to Wirral County's main rivals being Chester City, who went out of business less than five years after the series was broadcast -- though even this isn't quite as bad as it could have been, seeing how City were immediately reformed as a new club, Chester F.C.

** The planned theatrical sequel, ''Mike Bassett: Interim Manager'' would have had a German coach named Jorgen Mannstein take over the England side, bringing on Mike as an assistant due to the language and cultural barriers. However, Mannstein then left to take over as Germany national coach after their existing boss was fired due to a scandal involving crystal meth -- a reference to a real-life scandal involving Christoph Daum, who was set to take over as Germany national coach right about the time the first film came out, but had the job offer withdrawn after he was caught using cocaine -- leaving Mike to take over as England manager for the tournament. Following the failure of a Kickstarter campaign, however, it seems likely the film will ever be made.
