The first demo of Football Manager 2005 was released on the 23rd of September 2004, which was twelve days before the world premiere. A year later, for FM 2006 it was given to us on the 12th of September 2005 and the full version began its sale a bit over a month later. Demo of Football Manager 2007 comes out on the 1st of October 2006, which was seventeen days before the premiere. With the newest version, the one from the 19th of October 2007, the demo was released on the 30th of September. Summing it all up - demos were coming out twelve, fourteen, seventeen and twenty days before the premieres of full versions. Therefore, we can assume that we will need to wait for about one more week to finally test FM 2009. Of course we cannot be sure that such vision will come true, but it seems highly possible. However, we can sleep calmly, knowing that we are not waiting any longer than usual, it is a normal and understandable situation. The premiere is coming closer and Sports Interactive is trying to polish up their product, especially the 3D view, especially that the way it looks will definitely have a big influence on the number of sold copies of the game.
