Managerial Stats - Hands on Approach

Having guided Burton Albion to the Championship and turning down many approaches from bigger clubs along the way, I have developed quite a strong managerial profile. My squad discipline and tactical consistency are both 19, with domestic player bias and club/player loyalty 17 and 18 respectively. My financial control is 15, but my hands on approach rating is just 1.

What is meant by hands on approach and how do I improve it?

If you tick any of the "assisstant manager is responsible for" on the team setting page .. this rating goes down.

I think assigning control of the Youth/Reserve teams to an Assman or Coach affects it too.

I think it has to do with what you let your assistant take care of, thing like letting him handle team talks, press conferences etc will reduce your hands on rating also taking holidays will reduce it.

hope this helps

There's only 1 stat I care about.............that's the points column in the league

My hands on approach is crap but I'm doing well.

Thats funny my hands on approach is 19 and my Assistant does quite alot for me. The one I'm rubbish on is the domestic bias which is 2, I think that's a bit harsh seeing as 10 of 24 man squad are English!

I think the main thing to affect this stat is going on holiday. My Assman does loads for me but I never holiday and have a hands on approach stat of 20.

What does the domestic bias bit mean? Does it mean the amount of homegrown players in your squad or something? Because for me thats the only rating which is very low

After three years my hands on approach is 7, my assistant is responsible for arranging and taking control of friendlies, and he is in charge of both the reserve/youth teams. I never go on holiday. I refuse to take control of the reserve/youth teams, I don't know any manager that does that! I should really arrange/control my first team friendlies though.

My hands on approach is 20. I attend every press conference myself so i imagine that why.

I think it's more to do with how often you tweak your tactics in game, make subs etc.

Domestic player bias is obviously how many players you buy / use from the country your club is in.

i couldnt care less what my stats are on the game. trophies are all i care about

same but i dont get many trophies. but thats cos i dont play a game for long enough.

I holiday about 10% of my game and Ass Man does all team talks yet my Hands on is 16...

I tend to think along these lines. As long as I am winning, I've got to be doing something right.
