Do you think you could make the most of Abramovich's millions? Have you always dreamt of taking your non-league team to European glory? Now you can with the return of the world champion of football management games Championship Manager 5.

Championship Manager 5 is the latest instalment in the No.1 selling football management series. The game delivers a whole host of key improvements aimed to bring you even closer to the touchline. For the first time ever in the series, Championship Manager 5 introduces "constant gameplay" - the ability to interact with the game at all times. Even while the game processes you can tweak your training regime or check out a scouting report so you are always in the action. A new and improved user-interface, more objective data supplied by PFS (Professional Football System) who provide information to clubs and managers around the world, a greater choice of tactics, a more comprehensive scouting system, and minimal loading times will make Championship Manager 5 the greatest version yet.

To further ensure that Championship Manager 5 delivers the ultimate in realism and accuracy, Charlton Athletic's 1st Team Coach Mervyn Day has been recruited to act as consultant on the game. Day is one of the most respected coaches in football, and one of only a handful of people to hold a UEFA Pro-License. Working closely with Beautiful Game Studios, Day has developed a new user-friendly training mode, devising routines and drills as used by top professionals. Day's insider knowledge has also given access to the thought processes of real-life managers and coaches, both in the day-to-day management of the club and players, as well as in match situations.
