Ingame FMScout09 is a real-time scouting (plus editing) utility for Sports Interactive's Football Manager 2009. It allows users to search within the current game database to see certain information about a number of entities such as player and staff. The scout can query the database using a number of different arguments and can display in a view or in a profile page various kind of information about the current entity.
The programming language used is C# .NET.

INSTRUCTIONS:
* Run Football Manager 2009 with Patch 9.1.0, 9.2.0 or 9.3.0 patch installed (maybe 9.0.0 too).
* Run the scout or miniscout and click Load (game will be loaded when you have FM2009 up and running).
* ALT + TAB to the desktop and use the scout.
If all done properly, the fields should get enabled. You can reload as many times as you wish.
Don't try to run the scout from within the archive (zip). Make sure to extract the contents of the downloaded file first, otherwise it will trigger an error.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAC
I am not sure if this will work but you can try:
1. http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
2. http://sourceforge.net/projects/darwine/

LOCALIZATION:
* Open the English.lng in the Languages folder and translate it. Then rename it to the new language and mail it to me.

Based on DrBernhard's Ingame Framework in SIGames forums. Thank you DrBernhard.

REQUIREMENTS:
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Football Manager 9.1.0, 9.2.0 and 9.3.0 (maybe 9.0.0 too)

NOTE:
- To see all our own players leave sale value to zero, it will also search for players with sale value -1 (your own for example)
- The features that edit the game (such as the heal button) are absolutely at your own risk! Make sure you keep a copy of your saved game before you attempt to edit anything!
