Widescreen skin:
A widescreen skin (that is special tailored for 1600x1000 screens that are popular on new laptops)

The skin could have the new spider attribute on the same screen as the attributes itself.

And a ton of extra information ready on-hand than you'll have to wade through all these extra screens to get your informations.

Open up skins:
I guess it's just to let the engine behind expose all these extra information anywhere so the skin community could create new great skins with new features and more information.

Would be great if SI released a skin kit for modders to be able to understand and catch up with the skin .xml's and what your could do there. A script language could be integrated into the .xml skins itself giving more power to the skin modders.

Job interviews to take a manager vacancy

I think SI should do this eg:

Chelsea FC
Owner: Roman Abramovich
Chairman: Bruce Buck
Chief Executive: Peter Kenyon

Man Utd
Owner: Malcolm Glazer
Chief Executive: David Gill
Non-Executive Directors: Joel Glazer etc...

It would make it more realistic gameplay.

Something very simple that CM 01/02 had that I miss.

When you were searching for a player by filtering attributes, you used to be able to tell it to match say 7 out of the 8 you set. In recent games it has to match all of them, and you can't tell it to do that anymore.

I'd like that back.

Oh and another that I just thought of which would come in handy.

The ability to "tag" players in your first team squad for use in the next reserve fixture.
That way you don't need to mess about with moving them to and from the reserves, and you can just give them a reserve game every now and again to keep them sharp.

I think at some stage, there should be some introduction to the game of a managers private life. Like houses, cars etc.

Also with regards to tapping up players, it is done to an extent in FM07 but i feel this could be developed more.

Intorducing players going to charity events like visiting hospital around Xmas time, and golf tournaments to raise the profile of clubs and players etc.

Just a few minor tweeks IMO.

Please tell me you are joking. Football Manager means your are in charge of the club, that is where the fun is, how would buying a house add to the excitment?

As for sending players to charity events, WTF? It is their agents who mostly organise these things IRL and why would you want to anyway?

If it only would have an effect in real life...
I hope SI just focus on the game it self, meaning on beeing a manager.

Early days for 07 yet so I'm not compiling a wish list until I fully understand whats missing from 07.

What I will say though is, I can't understand how many people on this forum (usually new arrivals) miss the point of the game. Its not a console game, its not a game that can be played for an hour (usually) at a time. I really hope all the calls for the graphical enhancements are left alone for 08, I think THE most important things in the game are:

1) Match Engine
2) Transfer Market
3) Player/Staff Interaction

and thats it.

I think 07 is suffering growing pains, its a great game, dont get me wrong, but I fail to understand why the 07 match engine should be a step back from the patched 06 one? Perhaps SI have been taking thier eye off the ball, so to speak, by concentrating on "look and feel" too much and the 3 aspects I've mentioned have been affected.

I would like the majority of development/testing for 08 to be concentrated on the 3 things I've mentioned above, because if they work well, everything else doesnt really matter.

I'd just be happy with more and more teams making bids for our players and more teams asking us to be their manager. Most of all NO more manager-changes on the run in the middle of the season (meaning: manager of sampdoria fired, manager of parma hired in the middle of the season).
