You complete and utter moron, SI haven't "cut corners so they can keep a few quid"...
I suggest you do your research before opening a ridiculously stupid thread which does nothing except magnify your stupidity to the whole of the forums!!

What are you talking about, not owning the rights?
You've answered your own question on that one mate, they do not own the rights, however hard it is to grasp because of it's simplicity, its still true.
In response to your main question, if you go to the Graphics and Skinning hideout you will find loads of people have made really good Logos and stuff for the Premiership and other leagues.
Oh shut up, parky just told you the reason why they couldn't do the emblems so why don't you listen, plus they have spains leagues and players and some italien emblems plus cant you argue that spain have the better teams and their teams come with player pictures and emblems. Next time do some research into what your ranting about.
Oh yes, because the ones in CM are just wonderful. ;p
See, there's this thing called *exclusive rights*, which mean that nobody else can use the thing those rights apply to (in this case, it's the logos) and EA, being the all-powerful software giant they are, tend to buy them for anything and everything. And, coincidentally, they did just that for several of the world's top football leagues.
There are no English Premier League assets because another company have a long term exclusive deal to use then in their game.
That means that no other game can use them.
With the Italian ones those have to be negotiated on a club by club basis rather than as a whole and I think this year we have more Italian licenses than we have had before.
In fact, FM 2008 has the most licenses we've ever had in any of our football management titles and hopefully that will improve further in the future. Hardly cutting corners so in future I would advise you to get some facts together first before making false statements.
