C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\data\db\800\lnc

Recommened Player
One player that is definately worth signing is Marcelo of Real Madrid.
Has get out clause set at £5.5million and is worth every penny.
I am in my 3rd season with liverpool and he is averaging 8.08 and is worth £18million

Sugar Daddy
With this cheat, the clubs chairmen will now be a Sugar Daddy, and will continuelsy pump money into the clubs transfer budget.
If you got to Editor, and click Clubs, you then should click your selected club. Then in the top left hand bar you want to click fiances and you will see a unticked button which is Sugar Daddy. If you are to click this then save, then load up that database and choose that team you clicked Sugar Daddy on. Your first transfer budget will be doubled, and every month you will make profits of 5ish million and will soon be unstopable.

Money Earner
A nice way to earn some money for your very poor lower league club.
Arrange fixtures for the reserve and youth teams against other high profile reserve and youth teams. For some reason a friendly against Barcelona B brings in the same amount of money as a friendly against Barcelona A would and if you use your Reserve team the opposition will not request a feee for their participation.
This was especially useful in the Blue Square South with Bognor Regis. Neither the reserves nor the youth teams played in a league and were therefore free to play friendlies all season. I tried to organise friendly leagues as these bring in the most money and always invited the reserve or youth teams of the clubs that appeared on the 'major clubs' pages. Within a season I had a bank balance of £4'000'000 and started the next season with a transfer budget of £1.2 million.

easy goals from corners
this cheat is really simple!!!!!!!
all you have to do is have some1 with the highest corner attribute take the corners.
then you on team instruction put the corners in the 6 yard box on both right and left.
then take to players with the best headers in your team then go on player instruction of the 2 players then for corners put challenge GK.
but i think that for this cheat to work you would need the 8.0.2 patch

Saddam Hussein Stadium (Weird!)
Go into the FM 2008 data editor (which should be found in your FM 2008 install directory) and load up either the 'default' or '8.0.2 Update' database. Now go to the Stadium section on the left hand side. Now in the search bar type 'Saddam Hussein'.
Weird or what?

Tutoring
Tutoring young players is one of the most undervalued and misinformed features of the game. Using tutoring effectively can develop young players at faster rates and give them preferred moves they would otherwise not have.
To ensure you get the best out of tutoring, check a players Coach Report for any tutoring recommendations (eg. Player X would benefit from being tutored by Player A) and follow those hints, also check personalities, nationalties and position. If players play in different position the tutoring is useless and sometimes highly detrimental, if the players have different personalities or nationalites (speak different languages) then the benefits of th tutoring will be severely decreased.
Lastly the major aspect of tutoring is what you say when you start the tutoring. The 3 options given range from "ideal role model" which alots the most time for tutoring, "would benefit form adopting style" is the medium time option, and finally "can learn from" is the shortest time. By setting different times you can affect the amount of moves learnt, the skill increase, and by using shorter times the amount of variety in tutoring players.

LLM Money Making
In the Pre Season as smaller teams of any division you will always find you need to make some money to set yourself up for playing wages/making transfers/expanding stadium etc.
The best way to get money in these situations is to organise high profile friendlies in the pres season. By organising friendly leagues/cups/one off matches you can make anywhere from 100k to 10mil pounds each pre season.

Keeping Possession
To play possession football, often hard from a players perspective, it is a simple matter of tweaking your tactics.
Play a short passing game with a slower tempo and watch as your players consistently hit the target with their passes.
To add variety you can change the mentality from defensive to attacking. Defensive possession football will see your defenders playing with the ball alot and mkaing occasional forays forward into space. Attacking possession football is much like Arsenals style of football with a consistent flow forward.
As your team gets more accustomed to possession football you can increase the tempo and watch as your team swiftly and accurately carve up the opposition.

Finding Great Regens
To maintain a high standard of quality players in your team as the years progress during the game it is necessary to scout and develop your own youth talent into the next generation of superstars.
To find regens (game spawned players to replace retired players) you must learn to scout effective and efficiently. First you must sign to your club some scouts with at least a 17 rating in Judging Potential Ability and Judging Current Ability. Examples of such scouts are Wolfgang Dremmler and David Hamilton.
Once you have some good scouts go to the scout screen and assign your scouts to the various youth competitions (eg Under 20 World Cup and Under 18's Leagues) with maximum age set to under 20.
Now wait and watch as your scouts scour the globe for the best new talent. Once they bring back some player reports choose what players you think youll need or want in the future and snap them up while they are young.

Changing Formation
This works really well on the game day. If you go into the game with a formation and you set your team talk, if you then change your formation before you kick-off then it confuses the opposition and you automatically get the upper hand on them. I have noticed this when I tried it.
Championship Tactic
Here is a good tactic for Hull City, i was 24th in the Championship and with this tactic i got 8th in my first season.
-------Fc-------
-------Amc-------
-Lm---Cm---Cm--Rm
-Lb---Cb---Cb--Rb
--------Gk-------
Have the Am with arrows going to Dmc.
Have the 2 cm going to the Amc.
Have the Side mids going up like the Cm's.
Attacking Instructions
Play Attacking
Have Lots Of Freedom
Have Short Passing
Time Waste Often
Just do what it says there it dosent matter how attacking you need to go. Hope this Helps people who are struggling in the Championship

Avoiding Work Permit Troubles
There are three ways to get around the annoying inconveniences that are Work Permits. They are:
1. Your club can have a feeder club from a European country that doesn't use the work permit rule, you can send the player out on loan to the club and they will gain citizenship after a certain amount of years.
The shortest time to gain citizenship in a country is 3 years, in Belgium and Poland.
Pretty much all the other countries take 5 years, except for Spain, which takes 4 years.
2. You can leave the player in your reserves until he gains citizenship (which will take 5 years).
3. A sneaky way of getting past the work permit problem is to offer the player another contract, as soon as they join you. About 60% of the time the player will be granted a work permit, even though they had only just been denied one. Sly, huh?
Failing all that. Try and find foreign players who have a European nation as a second nationality. These players do not require work permits!
