go to your game folder found here: -
C:\Users\your username\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009
i created the following folders: -
within graphics folder (if there isn't a graphics folder....create one) create seperate folders called "backgrounds", "kits", "logos" & "players"
drop your backgrounds into backgrounds folder
drop your kits into kit folder
drop your team logos/club badges into logos
drop your player face packs into players

now within the top section (window settings)...make sure "use skin cahe" is unticked & "always reload skin on confirm" is ticked
now look in the middle section (display settings)....make sure "show badges/logos" is ticked and make sure "show backgrounds" is ticked
