TheoWalcott89 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (fm08) most of my team is 'slightly concerned' because of the way that i talk to players on matchday. This happened after a 3-2 win over birmingham where i said something that apparently really upset the players. and now they are considering their options. the problem is that i was serving a touchline ban at the time and didnt say i word to my players...so i have to suffer because my assistant messed up. have you ever had anything like this happen to you?

peter-evo Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yes, I holidayed too far in pre-season and missed the first game of the season. My assistant fined 4 players for 'under-performance' and one of them handed in a transfer request Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docklanders Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 its happened to me before as well, i went on a holiday to skip past the January transfer window (personal challenge) and my assistant (Giggsy) must have slated them at half time, but they blamed me for it!

x42bn6 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, it's your assistant. Although I do find it even more concerning that players begin to consider their options after someone says something wrong in the dressing room! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
small Mac Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 And the funny thing is that if your assistant had done a great team-talk, he would get all the credit. A nice little lose-lose situation! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innawerkz Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I understand what you're saying, but indirectly it's your fault: You hired him, you left him in charge, it's your job (ultimately) to keep the players happy & performing well. Yes, I holidayed too far in pre-season and missed the first game of the season. My assistant fined 4 players for 'under-performance' and one of them handed in a transfer request All that said I didn't know that an Asistant could do all of that.... makes me reconsider him handling some of the soft games I've let him run for me. Never had him drop the hammer like that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoWalcott89 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 but this was ten Cate, didnt hire him but thought he could handle it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
small Mac Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I agree, i think that we should be able to expect a bit better from our Ass Mans. Fair enough if he upsets the players, but that annoyance should be directed at him and not us, the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SI are aware of this phenomenon and I'm sure it'll be rectified soon enough. FM10 hopefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
