Thats the gist of it - 'Football Manager' would be thought of as referring to American Football in the US so the name was altered for that territory (and only that territory) to take that into account.

Hope this helps,

Haha, Surely that would be a good idea to keep the Football Manager name, It might bump up sales (Not that sales can go up much further :confused: ) :D

Lol, change the name of the CL to the "Superbowl" and watch the cash fly in (H)

umm........ i thought that it would be called MLS Manager :confused:
