Football Manager 2009 runs fine on my MacPro under 10.5.6 so rest assured it does indeed work on Apple hardware/software.

Depending on the graphics hardware your Macbook features you may not be able to use the 3d match engine I'm not 100% sure but I believe the aluminum unibody Macbooks released in October 2008 and the White Macbook released January 2009 should all be able to run the game with the 3d match engine, Prior to these machines I think the integrated graphics used by the Macbook line aren't powerful enough (or just not supported) to run the 3d Match engine.

It would be worth going to http://community.sigames.com/ and making a post in the mac tech support section their forums sigames employees (including the Managing Director) are there as moderators and they really do care about the product the put out so help should be forthcoming. If you don't get a reply there after a day or so maybe pm one of the moderators to bring it to their attention (since the mac section probably gets less posts and thus attention paid it).

Best of luck,

Chris
