Robin_ellis_19 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 On the demo, Im currently managing Reading FC. I'm media predicted 5th and only had 200k to spend! After 5 games I was 21th, then I won 5 consecutive games and currently unbeaten in 9. Now I'm 6th going into a game against Blackpool at home, and got a message saying, "Reading manager under pressure, If Reading loss against Blackpool, Ellis's future at Reading is certainly in doubt" I got my team's morale back up, Currently on very good form and handling the press and players very well. Also this is a new feature to FM, but I just want to say, Is this a bit harsh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 depends how well your doing in the other competitions the board may have wanted you to progress further but you lost? and 21th? 21st Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdude Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah it may be other competitions but if it is not than yes that is harsh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Atherton Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Not realistic as its pretty much happening in real life and the manager is there. Taken the phrase realistic less litrally I think it is realistic these days especially with a big rep team like reading and shorter manager life span these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdude Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah but he is 6th and got good form it does seem unfair to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
walsh Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 yeah this is a problem in FM imo, I've often been doing ok and been described as "under-pressure manager _" The most frustrating case was recently on 09 when I took over at West Ham with 12 games left and they were in the relegation zone, I had a good run of wins and draws and the odd loss and safely survived in the end but was described in the press as "under-pressure" which is only a small thing but after the struggle with a poor squad and little money I felt my improvement of the team deserved a little recognition.

Robin_ellis_19 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Still in the League cup, so I don't know why the press and or board are unhappy with me? I haven't played Noel Hunt at all (don't need him) and he's probably are best player, do the board have favoured personal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
