Actually, "Football Manager" and "Worldwide Soccer Manager" are written by 
Sports Interactive, the same company who've done all previous versions of 
"Championship Manager", but is now being published by Sega instead of Eidos. 
CM5 is being written by an all-new programming team for Eidos, who retained 
the CM name when Eidos and SI split.

FM and WSM reportedly will have subtle differences in terms of the 
play-by-play text commentary for WSM done in more "American" terms, e.g., 
"The players look all confused" instead of "the players are all sixes and 
sevens".  There's also rumors that WSM will incorporate more of MLS' 
"rules", i.e., SuperDraft, the league is responsible for all player 
contracts, SI/TI/P40 rules, etc.  I guess we'll see.  (I just ordered a copy 
of FM today.)
