You'll need to use the data editor.

Then when starting a new game, select your saved database.

If you want to do it in-game you will need FMM.

where do i find the editor and what is FMM. Sorry i must be a bit thick

If you want to do it in-game you will need FMM.

if you installed via steam:

c:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/football manager 2009/tools/data editor

If you used uniloc:

c:/program files/sports interactive/football manager 2009/tools/data editor

Also, on vista+Uniloc:

Start->Games->right click on FM2009 and run data editor
