hitman19ko Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've tried in almost every game I play, but I can never persuade them Have any of you ever gotten a big name as your AM (assistant manager) ? Also who is the best AM to have in your opinion? I had Sammy Lee for a while and he was pretty good but he didn't want to follow me to Inter when I moved lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Use Ass. Man. for Assistant Manager, and AM for Attacking Midfielder, because I tought by the name of your thread that you wanted to make Sir Alex or Wenger to play as your Attacking Midfielder!

jayahr Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I managed to get world class managers to be AssMen in CM4 for the last time, but never since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not me, but I've seen Glenn Roeder become Ass Man of Woodlands (my hometown club in Singapore). That is some coup. There would be a media sensation if that happened IRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theosophical Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 It's strange really, as you see it a lot in football with old experienced managers being convinced to take on the assistants job with a young and rising manager at the helm. Would be a nice touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've had Franco Baresi and Carlos Queiroz as my Ass Man, but they're not really big name managers. I've had several big name footballers as my Ass Man, such as Gerrard and Terry. On the old FM I used to have two Ass Mans at the same time - not sure if you can do that on 09?

trekman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've had Jose Mourinho as my assistant and Arsene Wenger as Director of Football at Man U but that was only because I cheated and used the editor because it was the only way that I could see that it could be done on fm09. Maybe this is something that could be looked at and adjusted for a future version but its probably too late for FM2010. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saberhagen83 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Nope, no big name managers have ever wanted to come on board as a assistant. I guess the best and closest candidate would be Tony Adams, who is my current assistant. Not that high reputation as a manager though. Have had plenty of big name players becoming assistans however over the years of playing CM/FM, but I suppose that isn't really unusual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the old FM I used to have two Ass Mans at the same time - not sure if you can do that on 09? You can have more than one Ass Man, but you tend to do this by offering an existing Coach the role of Ass Man during contract negotiatiions. I do not believe you can sign a second Ass Man from elsewhere. (This is also a trick to get around the number of coaches you are allowed to employ).

Zinn Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Someone needs to find a better shortening for Assistant Manager than Ass Man.

Broadsword Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yes, along time ago. Jean Tigana was sacked by Fulham and I managed to get him as my Ass.Man at Notts Co. Can't remember the year or game version but some time in the 1990's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's what we think of too. AssMan is never used by commentators or football professionals, it's a FM thing, and I'm 99.999% sure that it's used deliberately because of the innuendo...
