Bassett travels north to meet Kevin Tonkinson ( Dean Lennox Kelly), who he believes will win England the World Cup, but on arrival at the pub he finds Tonkinson laying drunk on a pool table with people pouring beer into his mouth. The team need one win from three World Cup qualifiers to get to the World Cup finals in Brazil. Bassett takes over the England team and moves to appoint his coaching staff, namely assistant manager turned car salesman Lonnie Urquart ( Philip Jackson) who is not interested unless Mike buys a car from him, and coach Dave Dodds ( Bradley Walsh) who is a sycophantic yes man who once managed with Mike at Colchester United (a reference to Phil Neal under the Graham Taylor era). When the press turn up at Mike's house to question him about the job he initially denies the speculation until his son Jason appears with a phone to tell him he's got the job.

He is described as a former professional footballer who played for Doncaster Rovers, Darlington, Hull City and Grimsby Town. Mike lives at home with his wife Karine and son, Jason. None of the other English managers in the Premier League are interested, forcing the FA to look to Division One for a new manager, with the press speculating that Mike Bassett may be the new man for the job. The most successful Premier League manager is Scottish (based on Sir Alex Ferguson), while the second-most successful is a former England captain who is interested in the job, but the FA decide that he is too much of a 'loudmouth' and refuse to consider him (a reference to the numerous times Brian Clough was passed over for the England job). After phoning around Italy, France and Spain they conclude that nobody wants the job and are forced to look for a new coach in England but cannot decide on who should take the role. The heads of the Football Association meet to decide who should be the new England manager. Away from Norwich, it is reported in the papers that England manager Phil Cope has suffered a heart attack during qualification for the World Cup, which started out well but has since gone badly wrong.

The team later take part in an open-top bus parade but the driver accidentally takes them the wrong way and they end up going down a motorway leaving the entire team windswept before returning to the city centre to finish the parade.

With the film narrated by Martin Bashir in a documentary form, we are told that Norwich City manager Mike Bassett ( Ricky Tomlinson) is victorious as his side win the Mr Clutch Cup at Wembley Stadium. However, the kickstarter project that was essential for raising funds for the film did not meet its target.

In 2014, there were plans to bring Mike Bassett back to the big screen in a movie titled Mike Bassett: Interim Manager. The film was followed by a television series, Mike Bassett: Manager in 2005. Since its release, however, it has gained popularity as a cult film among English football fans. The film initially received mixed reviews.

Minimal use of on-field action is employed, with the focus centred on behind-the-scenes events in boardrooms and the locker room. The film follows Mike Bassett, who is appointed England manager having only previous experience of managing in the English lower leagues, he is tasked with guiding the team to qualification for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil Journalist Martin Bashir provides voice-over, and the film features satirical cameo appearances from prominent figures in sport and entertainment such as Pelé, Ronaldo, Gabby Logan and Atomic Kitten. Mike Bassett: England Manager is a 2001 satirical mockumentary comedy film directed by Steve Barron and starring Ricky Tomlinson, Amanda Redman, Bradley Walsh, Dean Lennox Kelly and Geoff Bell.
