[StrikeMaster Ice]

Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that Championship Manager 2006 on PC will be released in the UK on March 31st, 2006.

Developed by London based Beautiful Game Studios (BGS), the all-new 2006 version offers a wide range of innovative new features and is the most realistic version to date, with Player data given a complete overhaul. It's the only game on the market for PC to contain signings from the January transfer window!

Containing innovative new features, such as the revolutionary Gameplan engine which gives you 3D TV aspects providing the most exciting match day coverage available, Simulated World – So you can keep track of other competitions and leagues that exist in the game, tracking potential new signings, and greater manager/player interaction for speaking to disgruntled players.

Also featured are accurate fitness regimes devised by Mervyn Day, first team coach at Charlton Athletic, a much more realistic transfer system where clubs will haggle over players, parallel match processing to study your opposition's current form before you face them (all whilst the game progresses) and the ability to choose a wealthy Club Benefactor for an instant cash injection - but be warned, with more money comes more demands and a greater need for immediate success.

Championship Manager 2006 allows you to manage your club to glory, dealing with everything from tactics and training to transfers - everything you would expect a real-life football manager to do without owning a sheepskin coat.

Pah, Football Manager is far far better I'm afraid. CM was the best until Sports Interactive left Eidos to make their own game, but Eidos's CM is nowhere near FM. The moral of the story? Get FM.

Exactly Football manager (as told by my friend whos a footie fanatic) says that CM is dead, and FM is loads loads better.

Football Manager is the true champ manager anyway.

When SI left Eidos, due to the way copyright laws and that crap are Eidos kept the name Championship Manger but SI kept the code to the game.

When Eidos released Champ Manger 05 they had to write a whole new game engine and database while SI just updated the code and released it under Football Manager 2005.
