MarcyBhoy Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Quite bored so thought i'd make this does anyone know if the managers in the cover of fm are real life managers if so who, if not do you think there should be if so who ? (check cover of fm 2005 used to think it was ranieri not sure tho) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaberdeenn Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 No, they're not real life managers. And no, I don't think that real manager should be used. Why would SI pay extra money to get some famous manager on the cover when they're already the best selling football management game on the market and well in the profit.

Neji Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm pretty sure it was an unkown on 2005 too. If they paid to get a real manager, I'm sure they would show all of his face I guess that it should be different for each country's release. So over here, we could have Capello. WWSM could be Bruce Arena etc. I don't think SI has EA like amounts of money to make this viable though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Ter Posted July 17, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted July 17, 2008 It's an actor / model / whatever they are called. Like has already been pointed out, in local releases elsewhere there has been a real manager on the cover like Ramos in Spain and Deschamps in France / Italy (I think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I thought the idea was that the manager's face is not visible so that you imagine yourself in that role. Have a real-life manager kind of undermines the point, no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
