Well, don't panic.
Open your Steam client and search for Football Manager 2012 Demo there. Open that page in your Steam client browser and find the button that says "DOWNLOAD DEMO". It should work this way.
Alternatively, just copy/paste this link to your browser address (requires you have the Steam client):

If you don't have the Steam client, make sure to get it from here.
