Sharpy07 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Finished my first season with Stoke and got them to a solid position of 8th in the league and built my rep from up to 'National' level after starting on sunday league exp. So the offer came up to manager team GB at the olympics and i went for it thinking i may have a good chance givin my successful season. But my app gets declined and its givin to Steven Eyre who used to manage Rochdale in 2011!! I thought i would of have a better chance than him, anyone else had this issue?

bias12 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I had this self same issue in a recent save as Fulham, guided them to champions league qual, won the fa cup, and when I mentioned to the press I fancy being Team GB manager they say my move reeks of desperation! Interested to know if anyone has successfully applied and got this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
askep Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I believe this to do with how poorly FM12 handles reputation, in my opinion in fluctuates way too slowly, leading to high-rep managers (Villas-Boas, Benítez etc.) keep getting high-profile jobs no matter how much they balls it up.

jimbobBRFC Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I got offered it after guiding Blackburn to 7th in Prem in first season. Not too rub salt in the wounds or anything but is a very good job to have. It is a weird one how reputation works though I'd have to agree, im surprised @bias12 didnt get it with FUlham in champs league though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanJM Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I got QPR to sixth and the the final of the FA Cup and it was given to Simon Grayson. Grayson didnt even do very well in the Championship, Leeds finished 11th. My previous playing status was international footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePoshTom Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I had Roy Hodgson take charge. This after he was sacked by West Brom after 15 games without a win. I applied after guiding Peterborough to 7th in the Championship(I lost last game of the season to drop out of the play-offs, to the eventual winners) To rub salt in, I(Peterborough) lost 6 players to the games(not just GB, other countries picked players), one of whom broke their leg.
