Football Manager 2008 won’t be in a job in 2009
While British fanatics of the Football Manager computer game series have to make do with a headless figure on the front cover of their addictive hobby, Spanish purchasers are treated to the Columbo-esque stylings of Juande Ramos. Since the ex-Sevilla boss looks likely to face the chop at Tottenham within the next few weeks, British and Spanish gamers will probably be back on a level playing field very soon.
The forlorn figure pictured losing at home to Hull City yesterday hardly represents the pinnacle of his trade at this particular moment in time. Do Spanish gamers know who Phil Brown is? See the intense black-and-white film Ramos made to promote the game after the jump.

I think they’ll have to get the most successful Spanish manager in England, Roberto Martinez, on this year’s cover. He could be a whole league above Spurs by the time FM2010 comes out!
