Carmi88 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 if all the clubs are in poor form, or half of them are old men are needing to retire then It Is fine. What date is it when they retire? after the season or mid season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcWeir Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 at the end of the season mate i really did think that it was a bit much for all to retire near enough at the same time in the same season whilst all having jobs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, players under 30 retiring is quite unrealistic. Especially the really talented ones, who can't find a club for some reason but refuse to drop down to your club and retire instead..! That said, Gary Borrowdale went without a club for 8 years in FM12. Released from QPR after season 1 then did absolutely nothing until being picked up by Hayes & Yeading 8-9 years later.

kris0710 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 IMHO given that its the end of the season and many of those guys, if not all are 65+ years old it could happen. The thing is as you say 'they all have jobs' well using real life Walter Smith left at his peak, i think i can safely assume Sir Alex will do the same. I think your point of the timing is slightly flawed as if you are going to retire then at the end of the season is the best time to do so and most european leagues finish within four weeks of each other. I you break it down also you have: One from Itlay Two from Germany One from Russia One international manager and 5 from English leagues. Its not as if half the league are retiring. Without the ins and outs of the leagues you running it looks like fair enough to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocuous Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I think the problem with all the managers retiring is that it's very rare for a manager to retire while they have a job. It's far more likely for them to retire after being sacked and they begin to find higher profile jobs few and far between. Why would a person who is earning a lot of money forfeit that wage prematurely? As Jerry Seinfeld says, "People don't turn down money! It's what separates us from the animals."

Sussex Hammer Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just at the end of the first season and have Rio Ferdinand retiring at 34. Plausible I guess but at the same time he could easily carry on at a lower level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plausible I guess but at the same time he could easily carry on at a lower level. It's 50/50 with cases like that. For every Eric Cantona that retires at the top, there's a Steve Claridge that just keeps on going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgrigg Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 The reason you're seeing so many news messages in a short space of time is that the game calculates who should retire at specific points in the season, so you're likely to see a bunch of messages about it in a row. It's the same with clubs offering new contracts to players - I'm in December in my game at the moment and I just received about thirty messages about new contracts for players on my shortlist.
