In 2003, Sports Interactive split with Eidos, the publishers of Championship Manager.[3] Sports Interactive retained the game's database and match engine, producing a new game based on these titled Football Manager. Eidos retained the name and interface, with BGS taking over the development of Championship Manager. Although the two series initially ran alongside one another, the sales of Championship Manager began to fall below those of Football Manager. The most recent full version of Championship Manager was Championship Manager 2010, with an iOS mobile game in 2011 the latest game to date released by Eidos.
Championship Manager 2010 was originally planned for release on 24 April 2009,[10] however Eidos Interactive released the game on September 11, 2009. A fully 3D match engine (using motion-captured movements to provide more than 500 animations per player) was implemented for the first time, and it was announced on February 6 that new English Leagues, the Isthmian, Southern and Northern Premier Leagues would be included in the game, as well as Croatian, Romanian, Irish and Northern Irish Leagues. The German league system was also restructured for this edition, including the 3. Liga and 3 Regionalliga.[11] The game was released 11 September with a demo version being available on the website from 14 August.
On 18 August a "pay what you want for Championship Manager 2010" promotion was announced whereby between 18 August and 10 September a digital copy of the game could be pre-ordered from the Championship Manager store and was available for download on the day of launch, 10 September. Each customer set the price they were willing to pay in addition to a transaction fee.[12]
Championship Manager 2006 Free Download for PC is a computer game in Eidos' Championship Manager series. It is essentially a seasonal update for Championship Manager 5. The game was developed by Beautiful Game Studios (BGS) and was released on PC on March 31, 2006.
The game also includes a more accurate and fully up-to-date database of players and clubs. It does not feature any additional playable leagues to the 26 found CM5, but while this will be a disappointment for some fans, the developers insist that this will help them to improve the quality of data found in the existing playable leagues.
On 2 June 2006, to tie in with the 2006 FIFA World Cup, an update pack was released on the Championship Manager website, for the PC. This pack fixed minor problems with the original release of the game, and also included a new mode, as never seen before since Beautiful Game Studios took over the series: International Management Mode. The mode allows players to take control of international teams, and take them through their international competitions, such as the world cup.

Book Reviews William M. Anderson, ed. The View from theDugout: The Journals ofRed Rolfe. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2006. Pp. 325. Bibliography. Illustrations. Index. Tables. Cloth, $65.00; paper, $22.95. Atypical of baseball players of his era, Robert (Red) Rolfe grew up in awealthy family, attended a private high school, and graduated from Dartmouth College. During 1934-1942, Rolfe played for six pennant winning and five world-championship New York Yankee teams. Then he coached basketball and baseball at Yale University before becoming the farm-team director and then the manager of the Detroit Tigers from 1949-1952. During his tenure as the Tigers' manager he kept a journal, recording his observations about games and players and reviewing them afterward. An educated and studious man, Rolfe took amore disciplined and analytical approach to the game than did his contemporaries. The View from theDugout reproduces this unique source. Rolfe was a keen observer of players' strengths and weaknesses. The sprmg-ttaining regimen (p. 21) and coaching notes (pp. 24-27) reveal a hidden side of the game. Although Rolfe did not criticize players publicly, he was blunt in his journals: "Overmire and Kredow were terrible" (p. 43); "Virgil [Trucks] was not equal to the occasion" (p. 107). A taskmaster, he insisted on the "Yankee way," which meant not only doing the litde things right to win but also simply winning. From 1949-1952 the Yankees won four straight pennants. Unfortunately, Rolfe was managing the Tigers during those years. Rolfe's way conflicted with the country-club atmosphere the Tigers had enjoyed while his predecessor, Steve O'Neill, who was a heavy drinker, was the manager. The same leadership style was practiced by the series of quirky managers who followed Rolfe. He was loyal to the Tigers (e.g., "the boys," "my staggering Tigers," "our crudest loss," pp. 209,175, 304) even as the aging team's ratings sank to the basement early in 1952, which led to Rolfe being fired on July 4th of that year. Although the players William M. Anderson interviewed were diplomatic, it is clear from those and my own interviews (for The Detroit Tigers: Club and Community [1997]) thatmost players did not like the aloof, educated ex-Yankee. Although the journals are interesting, there is nothing revolutionary in Rolfe's comments. One baseball player told me: "I never met a great baseball mind." Apparendy, Rolfe was no exception. Anderson intersperses accounts of games with Rolfe's daily journal entries to provide background but also to fill out what would otherwise be a thin book. Quotations from sportswriters remind us how "gee-whiz sportswriting" was still the rule in 1950. The View from theDugout is a book to dip into rather than to read 132 Michigan Historical Review straight through. Although published by the University of Michigan Press, it is not analytical or academic in tone or content. P. J. Harrigan University ofWaterloo Le Roy Barnett. A Drive Down Memory Ta?e: The Named State and Federal Highways of Michigan. Allegan Forest, Mich.: Priscilla Press, 2004. Pp. 288. Appendices. Bibliography. Illustrations. Index. Maps. Cloth, $29.95. A Drive Down Memory Lane is a different kind of local history and transportation study. In this work Le Roy Barnett examines the rich variety of named public highways that have been or continue to be part of Michigan's network of roads. He includes about 250 of these memorial or named roadways. As the system of public highways grew early in the twentieth century, it became popular to apply amoniker to these thoroughfares. The banner year was 1917 when authorities named eleven roads. It would not be until the mid-1920s that the federal government developed a national numbering system with even numbers designating east-west arteries and odd numbers identifying north-south routes. The tradition before the use of cipher designations, though, was for named traces, trails, or roads, ranging from the Lancaster Pike in Pennsylvania to the Oregon and Santa Fe trails in the West. But even with the advent of numbered roads, Michigan officials still named highways, or at least portions of them. InWayne County, for example, contemporary motorists know the Walter P.
