2009 has been an eventful year for us here at ManagerLeague HQ.

We have released a brand new ManagerLeague, improved in so many ways, and are starting to see the fruits of our labour. We still have some way to go and some things to make even better, and this work will begin in 2010. The new design has now been running since August, and we belive it is maturing nicely.

2009 has been a rough year for many companies and a lot of people. We noticed these turbulent times too, when it comes to partners with some problems and a drop in the advertising-revenue, just like all other internet-services. We hope for more stable financial times in 2010, so that we might actually make a small profit. Do not worry though, unless I am mistaken, we were very close to matching our budget this year.

When it comes to ManagerLeague and it's development, we do not think 2010 will be a year with a lot of big changes. We do feel the simulator and tactics are our next points of intrest, so you should certainly not expect a lot of graphical changes (unless Coach Mac decides to redesign everything again, of course!). That said, we are a bit unsure how much improvement our simulator can handle, before we have to throw it out the window and start from scratch, which would be a lot of work. Time will tell! There are some stability-issues that needs taking care of too, as we are not currently 100% pleased with all aspects of maintaining the game. Things can always get better!

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy New Year! I would also like to thank you for the year that has passed, and thank you for sticking with us through the ups and downs of 2009. I would like to extend a special greeting to our moderators, cheat-hunters, support-helpers, translators and fellow admins:
You know very well we would not have survived 2009 without you! Thank you all for being such magnificent people!

Happy New Year!

- Spinner, Coach Mac and Chairman
