    +1 - I'd go for 2010 at the moment and patch it to 10.3 (there's always a few teething probs and it was after Christmas until they got 2010 working really well last year despite it hitting the shops in Oct/Nov)
    £5k+ since Jul 2008.

    I'm a games reviewer and the FM series is still beter than Champ Man - however that is getting better. This years effort wasn't bad at all.

    FM2011 is due out before Christmas - no set date just yet.

    The 2011 demo comes out a couple of weeks before the full version (release date end of October). I would expect the demo to come out around mid (~18th).

    However the 2010 demo you can get here:

    It depends if you want upto date players, i started out on championship manager 01/02 and that was pretty good, last year i took the plunge and pre ordered a copy of championship manager 2010 for just over £2.50 and its actually pretty good and i cant wait for the next 1.

    Good point. No too fussed, tbh. Although it would be nice to have an up to date game.
