Retiring staff [a few suggestions]

I'm I just not observant enough [hardly!] or do coaching staff really retire without giving prior notice? For two years running I've lost staff members in the pre-season build-up. I'm fairly sure that no news item has warned me prior to the fact.

A few suggestions:

- Just like when contracts are about to expire, it would be helpful if the manager is warned several times.

- In the staff window, the retiring member should have a "RET" icon in front of his name, just like players do.

- Why do staff retire in pre-season and not during the players' summer break? The latter would seem like the natural thing to do and allow amble time to find a suitable replacement.

I have been warned about it happening, but I suppose it would be useful if you accidently missed it. It might get annoying if you are reminded too many times.

I don't think this would look very good and it may clog up the screen.

If this is true then it should be fixed but are you sure they haven't retired in pre-season and you didn't notice?

1) I have received no warning - I'm 98% certain. This has happened more than once; I might miss one but not two. And it happened in mid-July - well after the team had returned for the new season.

2) It wouldn't look good?? I don't understand: When players decide to retire they will display a "RET" icon, so why not staff as well? It's nowhere near realistic that your employees decide to retire without advance warning.

You do get a warning when a staff member has a contract expiring i can't remember how long before it expires you get it though.

Sure, but that's not what I'm referring to.
