Μέσα στο Σαββατοκύριακο, κυκλοφόρησε από μεγάλη αγγλόφωνη ιστοσελίδα σχετική με το Football Manager, μια φήμη σχετικά με τα κύρια features του Football Manager 2011. Οι φήμες αυτές, που φαίνεται να είχαν ως πηγή προέλευσης κάποιο Πολωνικό FM site, αναπαράχθηκαν από αρκετά άλλα sites. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι μπηκαμε και εμείς στον πειρασμό να τις δημοσιεύσουμε, αλλά ευτυχώς επικράτησαν οι φωνές της σύνεσης και ... κρατηθήκαμε :) Εκτός των άλλων, περιελάμβαναν και το υποτιθέμενο εξώφυλλο του νέου FM2011. Επισήμως όμως διαψέυστηκαν από τον ίδιο τον Miles Jacobson και η ίδια η ιστοσελίδα που τις έκανε διάσημες και στο Facebook, τις αφαίρεσε μετά από αίτημα της SI, υπογραμμίζοντας όμως ότι σύμφωνα με την εταιρεία, "μόνο ένα ποσοστό από αυτές δεν αληθεύει". Όπως και να έχει όμως, το όλο σκηνικό έδωσε αφορμή για χαβαλέ στην κοινότητα του FM στο twitter!

Kαθιερώθηκε μάλιστα και το σχετικό hashtag #FM2011Rumours στο οποίο ο καθένας γράφει το μακρύ του και το κοντό του, ως φήμη για το επερχόμενο παιχνίδι! Σταχυολογήσαμε μερικές από τις καλύτερες ατάκες και σας τις παρουσιάζουμε συγκεντρωμένες!

Υπάρχουν φυσικά και μερικές σοβαρές ατάκες, που περιλαμβάνουν πράγματα που δεν θα θέλαμε να είναι απλώς φήμες, αλλά TO-DO features στην λίστα της SI!

@Qzinho: One thing I wish wasn't a #FM2011Rumours - Ability to export matches in video format = upload to youtube

Φυσικά δεν αντισταθήκαμε στον πειρασμό να γράψουμε και εμείς κάτι:

@fmgreece: Sports Interactive will include a bonus DC in Panathinaikos squad as the management can't sign a single one #FM2011Rumours
