Manager reputation

There's something I don't understand about a new game I just made. I loaded most European leagues and created a manager with Pakistani/Malaysian dual nationality (don't ask me why, I just took two random countries) and automatic reputation. I started unemployed, and I wanted to start at a small club in a weaker league and slowly work my way to the top. So off I went on holiday, applying for every available job. I was expecting something like the Romanian, Czech or Ukranian second division.

My holiday didn't last long though, I got an offer the very first day, from NK Zagreb no less, one of the biggest teams in Croatia. And here's the stupidest part: after spending half a season with them and doing relatively well (currently second in the league one point behind the leaders about halfway through the season), I get news items about me being rumoured as the new manager of Portsmouth!

No disrespect to Pakistani and Malaysian football, but how on earth does a 30-year old unproven manager from these countries even come into the conversation at a Premier League club? And how did I get the Zagreb job in the first place?

its a reputation flaw in the game try setting your rep to sunday league

automatic rep means your rep gets based on the team your at

As you took over a decently big team you get a good rep

I didn't take over them, I started unemployed.

I'm not sure what automatic rep really means, but I'm pretty certain I've read on these forums that it's the lowest you can go.

no it isnt. Automatic means your rep is automatic, it will adjust to the lowest league you load, so this may be higher or lower depending on what you start with. Sunday League footballer is the lowest you can go every time regardless of leagues loaded.

- Taking over meaning that you took control of the club, you did that when you clicked 'Accept'
