Ok this is how you put your own manager picture into the game. I am managing Chelsea and will use this as an example.

Make your picture 95x95 and save it as a .png image file. (i used photoshop for this, there is a free trial version available)

Go to CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\data\graphics\pictures\players\normal\eng\pre miership\chelsea (or whatever club you are managing)

Place your .png image into this folder.

Go into fm and in preferences, tick show unique ID's and confirm. Under your name you will see your unique ID number, write this down.

There should be a config.xml file in the above folder, open it. Scroll down until you see the following.

<record from="ballack" to="graphics/pictures/person/12415/portrait"/> (there is one of these lines for every player)

Copy this line and paste it below but change the name of the player in this case ballack to the name of your saved .png file, mine was manager. Now using your unique ID that your wrote down earlier (mine was 13248456) change the unique ID in the code line, so you have the following

<record from="ballack" to="graphics/pictures/person/12415/portrait"/>
<record from="manager" to="graphics/pictures/person/13248456/portrait"/>

Basically this code matches your saved image file with you unique ID in the game.

Finally in preferences untick skin cache and tick reload skin on confirm, then click confirm.

Are people really having that much problem with the add manager wizard?

That lets you add your own manager photo when your name your name etc.

Seems far far less hassle than making it a png, resizing it and doing the config file.

everytime iv used the wizard its never worked!

Sometimes the ingame (wizard) way bugs out
This works 99% of the time (wont say 100%, because there is bound to be someone who says it doesnt work)

To note, using the above way usually means you have to redo it everytime you start a new game

Maybe some people want to add it once they've started their game?

actually you can insert the line in the config file under folder "CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\data\graphics\pictures\players\normal\default " and copy your image in that directory as well. By doing this you no need to insert in each of the club's folder that you managed...

do you have to right in the ID number? in 2006 i never had to do that?
