ZOO Digital says Premier Manager 2006-2007 will be out in time for the start of the new Premiership season.

And just in the nick of time, too - it's out on August 18th on PS2 and PC, with the first games kicking off the very next afternoon.

ZOO promises a "massive overhaul" in terms of navigation and player database, with the option to manage in England, Spain, Italy, France, Germany or Scotland in both domestic and European competitions.

The full game will cost just £19.99, and arrives in time to side-step the usual battle between Football Manager, LMA Manager and Championship Manager, the latest versions of which are all due out later in the year.
