Unemployed and still haven't got a team! Dying to play!

So i've started unemployed, sunday league footballer, load of leagues loaded and unfortunately i still haven't been offered a job. I actually got laughed off a League 2 team when i declared interest so i don't hold too much hope. Really dying to get stuck in and play but would rather do it the 'proper' way. Anyone else experiencing a long waiting time to get a club? It's Christmas now!

why dont you look if any jobs available and just add manager to that as if you were offered it if your that eager to play.

What is the lowest league you have loaded?

Why don't you just give up now and start a new one with any club you desire?

Heh, I did the same and it took a little while for me to get a job too. I ended up in Northern Ireland with a struggling Crusaders side. I haven't played in Ireland before so it's a new experience for me! Hope your job search goes well, good luck!

If you're going to start unemployed, be prepared to manage clubs you don't want to manage. I'm with Winners Park in South Africa, who have five players over the age of nineteen...

i took a chinese 2nd division team to the ACL winners 4 years in a row before moving to germany and bayern munich

If you're a sunday league footballer... without much experience, of course you would be laughed off by a league 2 team.

You will have to start managing at a much lower league

A lot of second and third leagues loaded, the lowest on the save though is probably the bottom tier of England. I don't mind picking up a random crap club, all part of the challenge and i actually wouldn't mind managing in Northern Ireland because i'm from Belfast and i know a lot of the players anyway. Let's hope i get a club soon, into January now.

i ended up in Africa aswell with Nathi Lions and also managed African Warriors on fm10

I started unemployed with all the UK and Ireland leagues loaded, the Warrrenpoint job in the Northern Irish Second Division is available right off, nothing like starting at the very bottom... Wait until a Conference North/South job becomes available or Scottish Third Division perhaps, you should get one of those.

Yep, I just started my first game as a Sunday League footballer. It's taking me forever to find a job and the game isn't stopping to let me read messages enough. I think I might have to change the response level.

I actually prefer this. I'd started a game already and set myself as semi-pro. I got a job offer with Tamworth easy as pie but never wanted to start that high up. I chose Warrenpoint in N. Ireland in the end but it just felt like it would be too easy so I started again with Sunday League.

Looking forward to see who I can get to approach me.

That's strange. I usually get any job I want.

tell them you have a vast knowledge of fm experience, that should convince some chairman (except steve gibson)

do you set your experience to international player?

Cut my losses and started a new game because after what has been said here i don't think there were enough really low leagues.

I started with my leagues including Scotland down to League 3 and the Welsh prem, unemployed with a sunday league rep and no job in Feb 2011 and counting.

Well i've had a few jobs here already, so maybe you should cut your losses as well mate.

tbf if you think about it the scottish 3rd and welsh premier are not really sunday league level are they

try china and india guys or set your experience a little higher

Sunday League rep will get you a Scottish Third Division job.

I started my first FM 2011 game unemployed, with most European leagues playable plus Brazil, Argentina, S. Africa, Australia, USA, China and India. Despite applying for a number of jobs I was only offered one in October, which was weird. It was Dunfermline which I suppose wasn't too bad considering I started with automatic experience.

China and India have a higher league rep than Wales if I remember right so they should be harder to get a job with.

Well I'm going for broke. I'm trying to run 104 leagues to maximises my chances of a fun game with Sunday League Rep. It should be realistic if anything.

It's going to hang up on player lists and team lists but I figure giving it a chance to load is expected.

Keep at it, it took my till Jan 2011 to get a job with ZamAK in Russia and newly promoted team into the russian premier divsion. A great job for me, after getting laughed off by league 2 teams i get to manage a team in the Russian top flight.

ZamAK

Maybe KAMAZ?

I started with the following leagues (Large Database):

South Korea, Iceland, Mexico, Belgium, Czech Rep, Finland, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Portugal, Australia, Argentina, Brazil & Spain (All Leagues)

England (League2) France (National) Italy (C1)

Holland, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine (View Only)

Started in Brazil November/December 09 that way I wouldn't miss the start of any seasons depending on who I chose.

Decided to start in Iceland's bottom division (League one) as the reputation is terrible and it should be a challenge. I prefer to chose my own team as I get more into it as its MY team and I chose them not the other way round, the teams very poor but have managed to make 1 signing that hopefully can win me games on his own, a 39 yr old striker with 16 finishing (You can Imagen how good he is compared to the other strikes when my 2nd best has finishing 12, and all the rest have 10 and below)

Started unemployed with Sunday League rep on the demo and ended up at Woking at the start of November. That's the kind of thing I want in the full game, BSS/BSN is a decent place to start.

Started with every single league going to start as sunday league footballer then holiday with apply at all clubs and come back when job offer has been recieved on.,

Now isn't that easier?

Managing Winners Park right now, got in a few decent players and i'm liking the league more than i thought i would.

It all depends on when the sackings come really. If people get sacked early on in the lower leagues then there'll be jobs available but if not you have to wait.

I can't decide whether you have a supercomputer of the patience of a saint!
