Not just with FOF but I would love for a revolutionary next gen OOTPb to be kickstarted even if it meant that version was 2 to 3 years away. At least we would know it was coming and get regular updates on its progress. The up front money should allow for more staff in any configuration they wanted. So the yearly update of the current version shouldn't be effected but could be scaled down.
Without something like Kickstarter I just never see OOTPb ever becoming either as deep as Football Manager or as fun as Motorsport Manager. Not to mentioned as polished as either of those games. And Motorsport Manager is 4 years old!!!!!!!
In 4 years time OOTPb has basically remained exactly the same as a game play experience. It added perfect team and 3D but neither really change the overall game play experience.

I agree with you. I think it goes without saying that this could be an issue solved by having a kickstarter to hire someone to do the interface which from my understanding is the only thing that requires work. From there OOTP marketing should take over because I don't think their marketing team does any programming.
For the OOTP staff or Jim himself, I would gladly put up money and still buy the game at full price just for a developer's blog and the game's release.
