Surprisingly, it was not so hard whatsoever - the first screenshot of the upcoming version of Football Manager was published on Twitter - a micro-blogging service. Even Miles Jacobson has fallen for the new thing and it was on his blog that we are able to find the first picture of Football Manager 2010. However, Miles mentioned that it is not the final version of the skin and it can still change. First official information will appear in mid-August, when the makers will feel ready to share it with all the fans.

The published picture presents us a squad screen of AFC Wimbledon with the mental attributes being turned on. The first change which we notice is a complete change of the default skin of the game. The new one is still kept in similar colours and seems to be more clear. As you can see for yourself, it seems that SI decided to give up on the side menu and all of its elements can be found now in the top bar, in a form of extending tabs. Also the calendar was modified and substituted the information about the date and time - it is now placed in the very top, thanks to which is more visible now. As I have already mentioned, more screenshots of the game will not be available for a while now, because the one below was leaked by accident and due to too many... vodkas that Jacobson had that faithful night...

In my subjective opinion, the changes seem very impressive and it seems, that the upcoming version might be able to fulfill all the hope put in it. The first screenshot seems to be the beginning of the FM 2010 operation!
