kris0710 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 As above. Just like normal jobs it pops up towards end of 1st season. You can apply like you would any other job, as soon as Olympics over you lose your job. Roy Hodgson got the job on mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiree Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Yeah but Tony Mowbray didn't even play one game, he quit before anything began, Im sure the job was then put back up in the jobs page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanhami Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I was manager of Manchester United and managed to get the job. You get a message telling you that there is a position available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_no_7 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Wow, this is awesome. Were there any restrictions of player nationality as Wales, Scotland and N.E. still doubt they will release their players for it in R/L? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjaxNo1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I got all players I asked for, it was bascially England U23 with Ramsey, Bale, Bannan, Fletcher and McGregor Manged to draft in Wilshere after Ramsey got injured so no one blocked me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjaxNo1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Its an 18 man squad not the usual 23 man squads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidmonkey Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 im also guessing the Team stays active in the game for the long term games and if England or another home nation is awarded the Olympics again then the Team GB will be rolled out again....

AjaxNo1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Not sure I did get forced to leave after the Olympics, so guessing the team went Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiitastic Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 im also guessing the Team stays active in the game for the long term games and if England or another home nation is awarded the Olympics again then the Team GB will be rolled out again.... it doesnt have to be 1 of the gb nations to win the olympics hosting right. It could very well mean Team Great Britian can be used for every Olympics from now on. I guess we'll have to wait and see in the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Altho you have to leave after the Olympics the job stays in job centre as im just starting my fourth season and its still there. 2016 here i come!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUFC1995 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I like this feature but seems like they need to fix it a bit in a patch from what you have said, do you get sacked after the tournament even if you win?? it shouldnt be a sacking if u get what I mean but a graceful end.

AjaxNo1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yeah but the squad size is only 18, and my squad was, Mcgregor, Amos, Smithies, Smalling, Phil Jones, Gibbs, Walker, Kelly, Walcott, Bale, Ramsey (replaced by Wilshere after injury 2 games in) Rodwell, Fletcher, Sturridge, Wellbeck, Bannan, Carroll (waste of space), Watt The only reason got on in the final was injuries to Walcott and Bannan during the game and I didnt trust Carroll Thought that to be a decent squad, wasnt worried by a 3rd over aged player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbag Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I did the exact same as AjaxNo1. Apparently the Spain job was a "no hoper" though, so delighted to have dominated them in the final (although only a small victory due to Casillas - do they seriously think they needed Casillas and De Gea?). Picked a very different team though. My overage were Baines, Hart and Evans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruun Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I just applied both the u23 GB team and u23 Spanish team, both were accepted, decided to team up with the GB team ^_^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjaxNo1 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 How come no Rooney? Was he injured or did he kick someone else? Didnt put that much effort into picking a squad, searched for players under 23 then added Mcgregor and Fletcher to get some Scots in, plus the U23 keepers were crap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko4 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Dont think there will ever be a Team GB in olympics again IRL which i'm glad about being a proud Scot, but I guess it would be an interesting wee feature in FM There won't be, you need to qualify for the Olympics, Spain for example have qualified for winning the under 21 euros IRL. Obviously no GB team will ever enter anything else so can never qualify, unless of course a home nation gets another olympics and they qualify as host Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
