Roll up, roll up, try your luck.... Sport Network have linked up with Sega to give five lucky people the chance to win what looks like it could be the most complete footie management sim so far - Football Manager 2005.

Football Manager may not be a familiar title to many - although those of us who can remember the original Home Computers from the early 80s may have memories of bashing away at a game called that on an old rubber keyed Spectrum or similar - but the names behind it are no strangers to Football Management Simulations.

The creators of FM are Sports Interactive - best known for their work on the "Championship Manager" series of games and also producers of other management sims such as East Side Hockey Manager. As such, they have been creating some of the most popular footie games for well over a decade now, and having teamed up with Sega they have created Football Manager. A Playable Demo is already available (look for it at SI's Website) so you can see for yourself why this is likely to be a huge success. Whether it's taking Pools through the divisions to European Glory, starting off in Conference North and going all the way from there, or taking on clubs from further afield (there are over 50 national leagues to choose from) you won't be short of new challenges.

So why not head on over to the Competition Page and see if you can bag yourself one of the five copies up for grabs?
