Backroom Staff - Option for FM13?

So I'm managing Portland, and (with the help of a really good backroom staff) we've been a dominant force in MLS for a few years. I've parlayed that into a job offer from AZ, and I'm planning on taking it; however, their coaching staff sucks, and I was planning on bringing my own guys with me (scout, assman, another coach I like to have around, etc.). However, all of THOSE coaches are too expensive for my AZ, partially because they have about ten physios eating up their wage bill, partially because there are already coaches there.

These coaches all resigned from Portland when I left, so they're available; unfortunately, they're also out of my price range. In reality, though, it'd be part of my negotiating process that I'd get to bring in my own people to work with; is that something you'd like to see implemented in upcoming versions? I think it'd be handy, and could be a neat part of contract negotiations (i.e., we're offering you this job, but you work with our people, or here's the job, we'll match the salaries of two of your staff, etc.).

I think this idea has some merit. The only thing is if your new club cant afford them now then insisting they come with you isn't going to help your chances of getting the job?

wanted this for years, managers regularly take their staff with them when they move so the AI should do this too.

All the current staff at your new club will accept mutual terminations of their contracts when you arrive. It's a lot cheaper than keeping them on or releasing them. That should free up enough of a wage budget for you.

u still must pay even if they accept mutual termination and if the club has a low wage structure u can't bring your own people because the board limitations on wages. it is an interesting feature that should be looked at

Even when managers bring in their own staff, the boardroom will have to pay out the contracts of the existing staff, even if my mutual termination - unless that staff resigned themselves before you came along.

But I like the idea of staff that have you as their favoured personnel willing to work with you at a much cheaper wage...unless that already happens?

Totally agree 100%

I have thought about this in the past too, excellent idea.

Yes please, fix this for the next patch if possible

Great idea this

Yep, would love this

Would be a great addition although as said further up, it could harm your chances of getting the job if you insist they must come with you but there's way's round that personally

I've said all along that you should have a job interview to get a job and this is something which could be incorporated into this idea.

Definitely need something like this...

I agree, I added it to the wishlist forum last year I think. It would really make managerial appointments realistic.

Even when managers bring in their own staff, the boardroom will have to pay out the contracts of the existing staff, even if my mutual termination - unless that staff resigned themselves before you came along.

But I like the idea of staff that have you as their favoured personnel willing to work with you at a much cheaper wage...unless that already happens?

It happens at the original contract signing. There interest is higher so are more willing to accept lower wages.

After that you can be favoured personnel, at a favoured club they want to coach at in there career plans. But they still go to rivals if you dont pay up. Anoying to have to renew some contracts 3 times a year, almost doubling there wages!
