Football battle kicks off

Championship Manager 5 is on the way, but will you want it? Eidos has opened a Web site here, but bear in mind that this is about the new football management game being developed in house by BGS (Beautiful Game Studios) with the help of "Leeds' legend" (sic) Mervyn Day. Real CM fans are, of course, following the development of Sports Interactive's Football Manager 2005: SI developed the old Championship Manager game, which Eidos used to publish before the companies split. Both firms are aiming to get their games out before Christmas.

Amazon UK has CM5 coming out on September 24 and FM5 on December 10. It is already taking pre-orders, and is offering both games together for £51.98 (PC only).
