In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
prefer the current design tbh
Doesnt matter to me, I download my own skins anyway 
They've just moved everything around a bit.
I'm hoping that the 3-d match engine is either gone completely or made a hell of a lot better. At the moment it's pretty pointless.

Wrong picture - that is SI Football Excel 2010.
I hate the skin colour (I've hated it since Football Manager 2008) and the sheer effort required to skin or customise the UI is very disappointing.

Looks shit, like they've dumbed it down.
According to FM Base its 2010
FM 2007 is easily the best in the current generation of FM games
Currently season 2024/25 and still going strong. My mighty Havant & Waterlooville just beat Barcelona in the 1st knockout stage in CL. Sitting 2nd in the league.
Eh, what do you mean?According to FM Base its 2010
Either way, 7.0.2 was by far the most stable version of the game, although the game did tend to generate some players with the mental attributes of Roy Keane + Patrick Vieira + John Terry and so on, but they couldn't control a ball to save their lives.
Since then, they've added a confidence feature which is still broken and results in managers getting fired for silly reasons, a repetitive media interaction system which is silly and a media conference feature which is even worse and is guaranteed to piss off at least one of your players before a match. They've also managed to botch transfers so badly playing in Italy is unplayable due to silly co-ownership deals. Negotiations are stupid now and Mark Hughes needed his buying players attribute knocked down to 4 to prevent Manchester City from buying every single player for double their value. They also had the audacity to add a 3D match engine demanding tougher requirements than Counter-strike when the graphics are nowhere near that good.
SI have messed up seriously here and I'm expecting the new iteration to be pretty much the same - crap skin, broken features and I guarantee the corner bug will still exist in some way. Training will be the same despite the promises and the system requirements will go up again.
The lack of competition is making the whole franchise look stupid.
Sort it out, SI!

More options for player/board interaction would be nice.
For example, in my FM 2008 game right now the board is having a whinge at me for being 20k over wage budget with Southend, and yet there's no option for me to say something like "our biggest earners have decided to feck off at the end of the season, check back in 3 months idiots" (which I suppose would in game translate to "Say it will be dealt with in the upcoming off season" or similar)

the "confidence" feature that pisses me off the most is the way your new signings are rated. As United I naturally try to buy a lot of hot prospects - kids for around £5m or less. So I buy them, stick them in the reserves or U18's, and a month or two down the line all the fans are supposedly disappointed because my signings havent played much for the club, and so the board is concerned with my dealings in the transfer market. Oh the audacity.
That and the idiotic expectations get a bit boring. At the moment in my United game, I am expected to win every trophy, every year. Failure to do so results in big tellings off and major disappointment/threats by the board.
Yeah, an option for the press when you sign someone similar to when you're offering a contract saying Key player/Backup/Hot Prospect/whatever would be much better (and more realistic)
Another one that annoys me is when players get injured, and when they come back uninjured, but not fit, you stick them in the reserves. And they whine. And bitch. And moan. To the press, and your assistant. And there's no option to say "You'll be back playing once you're fit, moron"
That looks terrible.
That picture is old, and this thread already exists

Same promises as every year... I hope they solve the most annoying bugs and change/impove the transfer system.

Am I the only one who liked FM09? I mean, it wasn't the best CM/FM, exactly, but I enjoyed it immensely.
I didn't enjoy it first play, but I've got into it over the school holidays and I love it now
That's the thing, it's harder. I ashamed to admit that I haven't won the league in two seasons on my United game (though the last season I salvaged it by winning the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League). Granted, that is somewhat connected to the (still) terribly overrated Arsenal, but the game is harder than it was. There's no reason to think FM10 won't be the same. The difference with FM10 will just be that the new Tactics system will make it a lot easier to understand how tactics work.
Yeah, I know what you mean
Lack of training screenshots seems to make me think the most overlooked area has once again being overlooked.

No Side bar anymore, going to confuse me at firstSports Interactive said:
Some screenshots, choice of Dark or light skin being shown
When is this released? I've always never understood why FM or CM don't allow you to set up little online tournaments with your friends so you can play your current team of superstars against there's in meaningless games just for the hell of it. It seems an obvious addition to have to me
30th October Smashed
I dont know what to think of the UI, on one hand I am thinking atleast its fresh and new but on the other hand it looks abit cluttered and looks abit of a mess at first glance, hard to judge without playing I guess.
I could personally give a feck about 3D match engines, make the game more enjoyable this time around.

Yeah, 2007 had the best UI for a while
Font was crap though.
What is UI..?
User Interface.

Does look confusing and messy to me

Dirt cheap! Why not at that price, especially since most of us get more use out of FM than we do most games.

I barely played the last one
I've now signed up to FM Live thought and am really enjoying that. It's subscription, but worth it for me

Never understood FM Live, so I stick to normal FM
Is it just me or does it look absolute crap? Getting more and more annoyed with the millions of tactical changes you can make too. I'm still on FM08 which I think the balance is just about right, though the old games where you can get through a season in a couple of days were better.
