You'll be able to pick the club of your choice from the English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish leagues and run them for half a season.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
You'll be able to transfer your saved data from our demo into the full version of Football Manager 2010 when it's released on October 30, and get club logos, league logos and player pictures (where licensed) as well as better graphics with the full game.

And the revelation that Fabio 'Darth Vader' Capello uses a lightsabre (well, ok, a laser pen) to instill fear in his subordinates (ok - impart tactics to his players) got us thinking about which bosses would make the best Star Wars characters, writes Dan Silver.
Here's our Top 10. Can you do any better? Let us know by leaving a comment below...
1) Fabio Capello = Darth Vader
A renowned disciplinarian who rules his men with an iron fist, Capello has now taken to waving a laser around at training. It can surely only be a matter of time before he dons a black mask and cape, builds a bloody great Death Star over Wembley and starts obliterating planets in his spare time.
2) Gianfranco Zola = Luke Skywalker
The little guy fighting for truth, justice and a neat passing game in the face of near-insurmountable odds (ie West Ham's balance sheet), Zola also harbours a dark secret: he's Fabio Capello's son! Well, ok, he's about as tall as Fabio Capello's son, which is good enough for our purposes.
3) Sir Alex Ferguson = Emperor Palpatine
The master of all he surveys, he answers to no-one and crushes insubordinates with the awesome power of the force (or 'the hairdryer', as it's more usually known). It remains to be confirmed whether Fergie can actually shoot blue lightning from his fingertips, but it would certainly explain THAT David Beckham dressing room incident.
4) Rafa Benitez = Princess Leia
A natural rebel trapped in a seemingly endless battle with evil imperial overlords (Gillett and Hicks), hapless Rafa is forever needing to be rescued by his trusty allies (Torres and Gerrard). If he'd only swap the goatee for a couple of Danish pastries taped to the side of his head, the resemblance would be perfect.
5) Sam Allardyce = Jabba The Hutt
Well, they don't call him 'Big Sam' for nothing.
6) Arsene Wenger and Pat Rice = C-3P0 and R2-D2
Spindly, able to speak several thousand languages and with an uncanny knack for looking the wrong way whenever trouble rears it's ugly head, Wenger is a shoo-in for everyone's favourite protocol droid. Luckily he has a diminutive sidekick on hand to get him out of any scrapes.
7) Sven Goran Eriksson = Han Solo
An unflappable smoothie with a girl in every space port, Sven is the unlikely hero who manages to escape from each successive disaster with barely a scratch on him. The jury's still out on whether or not this makes Tord Grip Chewbacca, mind.
8) Harry Redknapp = Lando Calrissian
To Portsmouth fans, Redknapp's a former hero turned traitor who spends most his days with his head in the clouds. Their Tottenham counterparts would hail him a hero of the resistance, working wonders with limited resources to defeat the evil Emirates empire. Everyone else can't quite fathom why this shady supporting character gets so much attention.
9) Jose Mourinho = Obi Wan Kenobi
Concealing his rugged good looks behind an omnipresent Armani cloak, the Special One is the former apprentice turned master who can talk his way out of any situation and has dedicated much of his life to bringing down the evil Emperor Ferg.
10) Gordan Strachan = Yoda
Small, gnomic and given to near unintelligible pronouncements that superficially appear philosophical, but on closer inspection a load of rubbish turn out to be.

huh? what you mean finish a game?
you can have the option of controling a club, or a national team at the start.
then from there you kick off your manager career lor
I know, i watch my friend play like he hardly do anything just pick this and that and leave it and wait for the results to come back... lol
that one is the old championship manager is it?
this one can see them move... their shots, corners, or heading or even the stupid mistakes by GK
Hahaha... The game keeper also can make mistakes ah? must be lah but you still can't control the players right?
this one, since last year got 3D, tv view.
not bad luh
my fav manager game though.
down to personal preference i think
Oh, like that later free then download and try it out...
i will download the full version when it comes out
