Having a bit of a breakdown perhaps? Has success got the better of the gaffer?Ĭleverly Football Manager 2012 is more in-depth than ever before, but is easier to get into. Also, for some reason he's standing in the middle of a packed out stadium with a football under his arm, which looks a bit mental. On the box for last year's effort our man was decked out in high-waisted Simon Cowell slacks and in desperate need of a shave. FM 2008, and our manager is now a little chubbier in the face, and the game similarly is fit to burst – this year sees the return of the Dutch national team, and a newly licensed Ligue 1. The message: we're looking great and we know it. Jump forward to 2007's box art and the game was rocking a Mourinho long woollen coat and tie combo. And sure enough, that year was one in which FM was in a brutal race to the shelves with rival Championship Manager, after mummy Eidos and daddy Sports Interactive had gone their separate ways.
For example, in 2005 our man was wearing a functional padded jacket a la Harry Redknapp – a man who clearly dressed in a hurry. I have a theory whereby the clothing and demeanour of the male model on the front of a Football Manager game dictates how revolutionary the title is.
