    "...this year's FM is the deepest, most complete and cohesive offering Sports Interactive has produced for some years."
    "...even if you own last year's version you should seriously consider investing in this follow-up, a recommendation I certainly don't make every year. And if you've been holding off purchasing a Football Manager game for the last few years, then this is the year to get back in the game."
