Well, craigjuk, if you want to play a game of words, I'll just go along.
The term "new" can mean quite a lot of things. Of course, it can be used in a way that means "addition". There are other meanings for it too though - for example, it can be used as "unused", or "unaccustomed". It can also mean, that an existing thing has just changed its appearance.
So, if you have never played in a league except the ones in UK, then almost every country - even if it had been included in previous versions of FM - would be "new" to you.
On the other hand, maybe "new" does refer to the leagues, and not their appearance in FM? In this case, even if FM 08 would feature additional leagues, they might not necessarily be new. After all, lots of leagues have existed for many years.
So, if you want a specific answer, why don't you ask a more specific question? You are mentioning quite a lot about what you
didn't say. Well, in this case, there are lots of things we didn't answer. Enjoy. :cool:
