Malice Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I had a brilliant Assistant Manager who I'd promoted from within my club's coaching staff after my previous Ass Man was poached by another club. He had perfect stats for what I needed in an Ass Man! Suddenly, Arsenal come along and offer him a job as a Youth Coach. I offered him a new contract with £15,000 a week (absurd for a staff member, but he was pretty good!). He rejected my contract telling me that the basic wage I offered was unacceptable, before signing for Arsenal for £1,600 a week. That's a bit of a joke isn't it? Out of interest he earned more at my club even before my contract offer. I am a premiership club, reputation continental, who finished above Arsenal last season by a considerable points difference. Arsenal's reputation is World Wide, other than that there's nothing they do that I don't. They don't even have a youth team any more! What gives?

gunner86 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 It's gonna come down to reputaion almost exclusively I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 A week later, Arsenal came in for my master tactician coach, Rio Ferdinand (everything about that sentence is absurd). I managed to keep hold of him with a new contract, so there must be something you can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malice Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 I am Bath City (no sniggering). Arsenal are a more world renowned side, but I have been more successful than them in the last two seasons ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterWolf Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Just make sure all your staff are on 5 year contracts, at least then you'll get more compensation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 They should try and patch that because theres no way that would ever happen in real football. A youth coach talking an ass mans job for 10 times salary would happen all the time but never the other way around, regardless of reputation. I would stick that in the bugs forum.

petey_g Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Every other season I put all of my staff that I am determined to keep on long term contracts. It keeps most clubs away but when they do come in I get hefty compensation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted January 12, 2010 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'd suggest making sure all your staff is on LONG deals, obviously the longer and more expensive the contract, the more it'll cost any other club to come in and buy it out.

mrmeee17 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'd suggest making sure all your staff is on LONG deals, obviously the longer and more expensive the contract, the more it'll cost any other club to come in and buy it out. But compensation is for some reason limited to 1 million, which really isn't going to deter any of the top clubs. It also happens to be these very same clubs poaching my staff, unfortunately.

Coop Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'd suggest making sure all your staff is on LONG deals, obviously the longer and more expensive the contract, the more it'll cost any other club to come in and buy it out. It doesn't stop them. I'm on my 4th assistant manager in 4 years. Each of them had a 4 or 5 year contract. It happens too often for my liking. Edit: In saying that I've generally left them (the poaching club) to it and pocketed the compensation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roykela Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Same here, Coop. I always have the staff contracts for 4-5 year contracts. And whether it's a long time since they signed a contract, or just recently signed one, i have to give them a new contract in order to make my staff stay. If i don't they will leave. It gets kinda annoying offering the same coach a new contract every other week, because the same club is trying to get him from me. I'd like to think, that if he's just signed a new contract with me, then he shows me and the other clubs that he isn't going anywhere, for a while. So why the constant offers from other clubs when he's just signed a new contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
