Football Manager to storm the Premiership?
Here at ECTS, there a some murky rumours spreading about the forthcoming battle between the long standing Championship Manager series and new upstart rival, Football Manager.It would appear that Football Manager could well be the bookies favourite. Eidos still own the rights to the Championship Manager brand but have parted company with Sports Interactive and the Collyer brothers, the brains behind the entire CM series.
That brings in Sega who are publishing Football Manager, a game to challenge CM and produced by two brothers whose names just happen to be Collyer....
Not only have Eidos lost the driving force behind CM but they also, so it is said, have had to code CM pretty much from scratch. Where has all that work and code gone from previous years? Where have the development team gone? I can't say, but Sega are looking pretty smug and seem to be quietly confident of walkover in the upcoming match.
