Take it from us. One glance at the Excel spreadsheet-like screens is enough to tell you whether you%26rsquo;re cut out for Football Manager. They%26rsquo;ll either have you reaching for your sheepskin jacket or clicking some other link to find something pretty to look at.
Those who fall into the first camp will be right at home among a wealth of stats, but thankfully not a wealth of menus. The new layout keeps the majority of the screen free from clutter and divides everything into easily identifiable headers and sub-categories. Even better is the improved processing speed that sets up a new game in less than a minute.
