RBKalle Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 So, I recently had a chat with 34yo John Terry about him becoming an excellent coach when he'll retire, and he told me "I could make myself available now, if you like", so I said it would have been fantastic, thank you, bye, chat over... The thing is, there's no follow-up whatsoever... If I negotiate a contract he just keeps on demanding a playing role... No Coach, not even Player/Coach... How do I turn a very positive (and profitable) scenario into something more than empty words? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssestig Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It should produce staff attributes next to the playing ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 ^WHS My 36 year old captain's attributes were plummeting fast, so I tipped him to be a coach. He said the same thing and immediately his coach attributes showed up. They were phenomenal. I offered him a coaching contract - he'd have been by far my best coach. He accepted. The board intervened and said I didn't need another coach so he left for Telford. Now the gits are having a go at me for letting a club legend go. Grrrrrrrr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrrrrrr I would of quickly got rid of a coach with poorer attributes if possible then offered him another contract or did Telford snatch him straight away?

trekman Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I had a similar issue with Jamie Carragher. I had the same conversation with him as RBKalle had and managed to offer him a player\coach contract. The problem I had was when he eventually retired as a player. He would only accept a coaching role if he got the same wages he did as a player. Obviously there is no way I was going to pay a coach 90k+ a week. I couldnt find a way to get him to accept a more sensible wage so had to let him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opps Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Worst thing is if you do ask them to become a coach while they are still players, there season statistics reset to zero! Great testing there by SI!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I would of quickly got rid of a coach with poorer attributes if possible then offered him another contract or did Telford snatch him straight away? Yes, on a pre-contract the next day. Not great leadership qualitites from my captain, there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbowie Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I tried to offer a 36 year old Wishere a coaching role. He kept changing it back to player. I ended up having to release him. He went to MU as a youth coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I always wait for players to retire from playing before offering them a coaching role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I always wait for players to retire from playing before offering them a coaching role. Acker mate, you're still around! Brilliant! I'm my case, the 36-year old captain, already the highest-paid player, was into his last 6 months and wanted a new contract on more money. His attributes were dropping so rapidly that he was already a liability and hindering a sharp kid's progress. I couldn't afford to keep him on as back-up, and I couldn't afford to pay compensation to release a coach. He signed a pre-release with Telford, so I really had no control over the matter. He's seeing out his time until Jan 1st in the reserves and I've already transferred the captaincy to his 18 year-old replacement (in retrospect maybe unwisely; he's starting too many matches complacent!)

Didn't happen to me either in 11.3. If it is a bug in the newest patch it must be a freak occurrence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Acker mate, you're still around! Brilliant! Finally have time to play FM again, and am actually loving 11.3, so I'll be around a bit more than recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
