Did you know that EA's Football Manager franchise is developed in Germany? Did you then know that, in German, the game is titled "Fussball Manager?" 'Cause that just about made our whole year. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, you might be interested to know that EA Sports is bringing another release in the Fussball series out later this year on PC. The publisher announced the title recently alongside the release of a smattering of screens (that we've dropped into a gallery below).
The tenth entry in the FIFA Manager series promises a lowered barrier of entry for new players, as well as "considerably expanded" online functionality. EA's Bright Future studio in Germany is heading up development of the annual franchise's latest installment, and the game is expected to release sometime this fall. Get your, um, pencils and paper ready? We guess? Yeah! It's Fussball time!

Football Manager 2011 is a DIFFERENT game, developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega. You're talking about FIFA Manager 11, which is a separate and much shittier game.

Notice he put much emphasis on the word SHITTY.

I guess it appeals to everyone who has ever said "If _I_ was managing our football team I would have done x instead of y, and we seriously would have had a shot at winning"
For the record I haven't done it with football, but I have said similar things in the past while watching wrestling, hence why I purchase the Total Extreme Wrestling text-based sim (and wish that one day it will have even 10% of the amount of design polish these football manager sims have).

FIFA Manager appeals to people who kind of want to manage a football team / enjoy the tactical side, and want to buy virtual houses with their money. Football Manager appeals to people who want the management side in depth and don't want to buy virtual bling

@E30 Kid Agreed. It seems like a waste of money. I would rather play Fifa, and that's saying something.

What's the deal with the contest to get the most points and the chance to win 7.2m? That seems a little unbalanced.
