Vernon-SI Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 As above says i wanted to try and think of a scenario in the game where getting a decent contract (as a manager) is worth something. Because lets face it, if it means i could have another star player in my squad instead of me getting fictional non-important money - i'd do it lol. I was thinking simply of: - a hall of fame for high wage. - The higher your wages are, the less likely the club are to sack because of the compensation. and if they do sack you keep the earnings. - The money can be accumulated towards something. As you can this is just brain-storming, but it seems such a fundamental area of a football manager - to get paid!.... and it means nothing thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this could be implimented if you are a club who've fallen on hard times financailly, you could be asked to take a wage cut, if you accept, this could also give you better job security as the board would recognise not only your loyalty to the club but also that if they replace you they might not find another decent manager who will work for such a low wage. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">The money can be accumulated towards something. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> As sthptngomad said, this is closing in on sims territory, which in turn leads to buying a club, which leads back to the chairman argument. I suggest you either clarify what you mean by this if it indeed something else you mean. And if this is what you mean then I suggest you take it back and say it's a bad idea before a wave of people come on telling you it's the worst thing since genocide.

LFC Lloydy Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 1.A league table of managers wages would be nice although I wouldn't bother too much with it. 2.It is already in the game that your job is more secure with a higher wage (and longer contract). 3.SI has quite rightly said they have no plans to let managers "buy" anyhting with their wage. It detracts from the game and affects what it tries to brand itself as. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archy-91 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Is there an actually job security rating, like out of 20? If there isn't, then it sahould be impliemnted for FM09 as it could help with the Alex Ferguson getting sacked problem, among others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
