When you leave a club are you immediately on the unfavoured list?

As the question states....

I was wondering because if I left a club in quite a good state of affairs but wanted to go back would I be able?

I heard that this happened and I'm wondering is it true?

Thanks

You are put on the disliked personel list at 100% so going back would be pretty hard but not impossible.

Why are you put disliked 100%?

Seems stupid as many people have left in real life as legends.

Like that coward Keegan has left 3 times and is a legend on the game so why does a user become disliked? Makes the game more unrealistic.

I agree. It's a 'feature' which has always annoyed me.

don't know but i became a favoured personel of a club once then when i resigned and took on an international job i lost that status

Me to, that is true. I had a same case like you and I did lost that status.

That is ridiculous. Steve Bruce left Brum and in no way is he hated

How do you know if your on the unfavoured list?

And think about Harry Redknapp. He's left Portsmouth twice now and they still love him.

It really shouldn't be the case in the game though, no idea why it was ever made to be this way in the first place.

As a Portsmouth fan, i can assure you that we DO NOT love him!

Not meaning to drag this off-topic but he worked wonders for Pompey and his treatment by their fans is pretty awful.

Happened to me when i left Shrewsbury when i applied for the Hamburg job and suprisingly got it. Left after a season and a half there to join Newcastle, spent less than a year there and lost interest after Owen was sold by the board to Inter and most of my players were annoyed at me for letting him go. Left the Magpies and saw Shrewsbury were struggling to stay in League 2 (after id go them promoted to League 1 in my first season) and applied, but they laughed my application off and said they would never take my back!

Sir Alex Ferguson left Aberdeen to go to a struggling Man Utd back in '86 and some fans back then probably found that ludicrious but he is still loved and is regarded as an absolute legend at the club.

As for the game making you 100% on the unfavoured list once you leave....an absolute joke!

I would use FMRTE if the rules of your game (if any) let you, or else it makes the game really unfair when you want to return to your old club.

If I'm on the legends list when I leave a club to pursue a new career, I use FMRTE to put me back, I don't see how fans can forget all that I've done for them.

It's a quick and dirty fix so that AI clubs that fire their managers do not immediately hire them back.

im sure it doesn;t happen all the time, i left USA once after 2 months and got begged to come back the next day? (and i was rubbish there)

I'm not sure if it works the same way for national coaches. This seems to happen alot with national teams but have you ever had this with a club team?

Strange. In my FM08 game I coached England and was largely relatively succesful (won the Euros but never the World Cup), I am an extremely succesful manager and yet England keep rejecting me for relative no marks. I've put my nationality down as English as well!

11 years after I left Newcastle(won everything possible multiple times without getting on the favoured list or legends which I felt I deserved)I got offered a contract to manage them again.

11 years was maybe enough for them to get over it

Are you Keegan in disguise? Except for the winning trophies bit lol.

i let my contract expire and left at one club, wasnt hated for it.

Is that how to do it Joey? Will have to try it at some point.

I've left after contract expiry and still been hated. Despite 50 years of winning trophies with a lower league club. I attempted to walk out the front door with my head held high ala Curbishley at Charlton, but it's just not in the game to do it.

Hoping this "feature" is fixed in FM10.

I didn't leave the club, but I lost the status right after the new season began. Weird.

It's long been established that the favoured personnel feature does not work correctly.

no its never happened to me at a club, only the ntional as i stated earlier. I dont think ive ever managed the same club twice in one save. Maybe the best way is to make yourself get sacked haha.

Exactly.. I got Blyth promoted to the EPL and won it 10 times in a row! I'm a Legend at the club, but then decide to manage another team.. since it got boring winning everything. It really bugger me that I wasn't a legend after switching clubs, but i didn't know the game would put me on "dislike". After reading this thread, I changed it back to "like" in FMRTE and am now again a legend at Blyth, I feel so much better now.
