It’s the time of year in the SPOnG office when the football fans really start to get over-excited. Yes, that’s right, Sports Interactive has released new demos of Football Manager 2008 for PC and Mac.

Sports Interactive has unleashed two different flavours of demo,a Vanilla version and Strawberry version.

The Vanilla demo features "English & Scottish quickstarts, no assets, no histories, no 'facegen'". The Strawberry demo features "Quickstarts - England, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Brazil and Nordic (Sweden, Norway, Finland & Denmark)". It's also only available via The News of the World website... nice.
