To celebrate the launch of the new Championship Manager website, Eidos is giving away the 01/02 edition of the game for free to anyone that registers on the site before February 28th.

Roy Meredith of Championship Manager said: “If you love your stats, news, trivia and discussions, you will not find a more comprehensive football website anywhere.

“Championship Manager is a game for all fans of football who want to delve deeply into the sport and our website is an extension of that and much more. The insights from members of the Football Council will be fascinating and the analysis you can draw from the site’s data makes the website a genuine homeland for all fans of the beautiful game.”

Of course, the people’s favourite footy manager sim in recent years has been Football Manager, which recently launched its online variant. Thing is, the 01/02 edition of Championship Manager was actually made by Sports Interactive, who then went on to make Football Manager, which means it’s probably worth a go. Confused yet?

Anyway, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a giant killer but aren’t too fussed about shelling out for the latest version, head over to the CM site and get yourself registered. Once you’ve done that, click this link and you’ll be able to download CM 01/02 for free.
