How to befriend managers?

Hey all, I was wondering what comments I need to say to another clubs manager in order to get to be friends.

I always get the "feels the two of you could become friends" but I've never gotten to actually be best buds. I like getting their scouting knowledge and transfer benefits from this.

Constantly make positive comments. I don't think exactly which positive comment actually matters.

Just keep replying with Positive comments and he should reciprocate, and eventually you'll become friends.

In FM09 I had the scouting knowledge of a turkish manager, but it never even said we were actually friends, so I just figured maybe as far as you could get was "could become friends"

ive always found it very hard to become friends with any manager in the game.

On the opposite, it seems rather hard to get some managers to respond to you. I am playing in the Blue Square North and every match I tell the manager of Alfreton how much I dislike him. He is "highly annoyed" with me according to the game, but I want more.

Maybe he doesn't want to **** off his players and is just being smart

The other managers in the leagues I'm in hate me, but it's pretty easy to suck up to managers you actually want to be friends with. Anytime someone says something nice, respond back politely, and target managers you want to know and tell them they're doing a great job.

I usually say that ..team... should be proud of their manager ...manager..., it works all the time for me. Then after that i just sometimes say that i am close friend with the manager.

In FM09 I was Hoffenhiem's manager and after 2 seasons I was in the fav. personnel of Schalke's manager, Leverkusen and Hamburg

Klinsmann was weary of me sometimes and sometimes friendly, on the other hand Werder Bremen's Felix Magath was stoic as usual

Maybe I have a hard time making friends because I'm a low league manager and they don't respect me so much.

Juventus's manager is probably closet to being my friend, I'm a feeder of his, and I got a absolute stellar regen of his on loan because he said he liked me as a manager.

It takes a while, but just keep relishing praise. Everytime you go up against him, initiate a friendly mind-game interaction. A week or so after the game, praise again, always say positive or respectful comments when possible.

I'm in my 5th year and I focused on Mark Hughes to befriends, for obvious reasons. It's worked out well, last year he bordered on "Feels the two of you could become friends," to "Feels you two have a good relationship" (I believe). I was able to sign a very good attacking midfielder prospect (valued at 10 million) for 3 million because of our relationship, where Hughes released a comment saying our good friendship was the reason he accepted the deal.

The problem I have is that it doesn't stay at good relationship, it keeps reverting back to him feeling we could become friends. Anyone know why?

Maybe because he realized you were ripping him off on midfielder prices.

Wow I praised Rafa once and I got a good regen on loan for free....doesn't happen very often lol.

Haha, I thought about that...I was like, I wonder if he will get ****ed if I don't accept his bids while continuing to exploit our friendship. But actually, now that I think about it, I think a week after I got the prospect, that's when it went back to just him thinking we could become friends..and it's been there for a while now, so perhaps you're right.

i praised them quite often, esp. if i'm thinking of buying one of his players. but some of my players don't like it when i do that...

That's the saddest thing i heard today....honestly. Get out, play some real football with real people...give it a try. Take care

Something is going on. So, I went from insulting him after EVERY match I played (because the first time my squad met Alfreton, I had three players leave with serious injuries -- the manager is Nicky Law btw), until most of my squad thought I was being unprofessional. I stopped for about two weeks and checked, and he "Feels the two of you could become friends."

:confused:
