Football Manager 2006 (PC)

I have just sat back with a look of enormous satisfaction on my face. My lads at Wigan Athletic have just lifted the Champions League trophy. The fans love me I am in the board’s good books and I have made a great dollop of cash to add to the coffers. All in all a good day. If you do you have not played Football Manager you may turn round and say ‘What on earth is he on about?’ If you have then you will well know the feeling I have described above.

If you have any interest in the wonderful world of football, then you should buy this game, and bring glory to your team.

Football Manager 2006 is the second game from Sports Interactive since their split from Eidos and the "Championship Manager" brand name. Football Manager 2005 was a success (which it was always going to be considering Sports Interactive were the owners of the popular Championship Manager game engine) and Football Manager 2006 continues with this. ------------------------- Gameplay and game engine ------------------------- Football Manager 2006 is very similar to Football manager 2005 in a lot of ways. They have the same sort of look and set-up. You have the option of a quickstart (which just basically sets you up in the lowest ...  Read the complete review
