Assistant Manager Responsibilities

In 'Assistant Manager Responsibilities', what should I let the Ass Man do, and what should I do myself?

Thanks.

depends on what you want him to do. I hate the press conference system, I think it sucks so I allow him to take care of that.

I'm surprised somebody with nearly 500 posts in this forum is asking that!

Have him to the things that are too time consuming and/or boring for you and do the other things yourself!

It really is a matter of personal preference, and probably everybody plays the game slightly differently. For me the assistant arranges and takes charge of friendlies, except in my first season with a club, when I play the friendlies myself. I handle the contracts for all players.

Edit: He also does some press conferences, but that's not set in the settings, I just send him on the occasions that I don't have the patience for it.

Even though I buy FM every year, over the years I tend to play it less and less. I just want some things refreshing.

And I agree with the previous poster: the press conferences are tiresome.

I like taking the friendlies myself; usually all more new signings are great in pre-season, then as soon as the season starts everything goes to pot. And like you, I always handle the contracts.
