pnefc22 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Ok, I started a game as Preston because I am a Preston fan. I was given a two year contract. First season, I win the championship with 108 points and I said I want to reach the playoffs or something like that. Second Season, I say that I will attempt to avoid relegation and in the end, I finish 15th. They let my contract expire because I did not complete the long-term ambitions of a mid-table finish in the Championship. Could someone please explain this?

smithers08 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Board confidence in FM08 is terrible . IIRC It will be sorted out in FM09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo360 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 What patch are you using? May be a bug or something as i did a similar thing with Preston (took a season longer) and i got a new deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 at a guess, you havent got patch 8.02 installed, which can be found inthis thread it does make some marked improvements to the confidence issues, although it doesnt make it perfect...

saints_lad Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I had an issue with the board confidence aswell. Having been knocked out of the champions league at the group stage, and subsequently getting beat in my knockout round of the Uefa Cup- my board were delighted with my performance in the Uefa Cup. I'd gone beyond their expectations I suppose... though I don't think they ever imagined I would have had the "embarrassment" of Real Madrid being in the Uefa Cup!

OG.L Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I had the same problem. I joined fulham in the championship then I got them promoted. In the premiership finished 5th when everyone thought I would have got relegated. Then they dont offer me a contract saying "I am not theright man to push fulham forward" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Brill Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Luckily or unluckily depends on which way you look at it I have never had my contract left to run out, I've either been sacked or given a new 1 although I get the feeling my 1st real game on FM09 will leave me being sacked! (I'm a Southampton fan, guess who I will be lol) and personally I hope the Saints guy has got the stuff right cos the 1st season aiming for mid-table I think will be a challenge in itself! We need heavy investment to have much chance of getting out of this league the right way or a new board who manager's can work with!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerner Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 i had my contract run out because i got into the champions league, and they wanted to finish mid table. But i havent had this since the patch happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah I know, I was offered a contract after getting them promoted in the 1st season and I rejected it thinking I would be clever and keep my long term ambition already completed, in case I got relegated. The funny thing was the long term ambition was full until the end of the season. P.S I got the Spurs job, so it isn't all bad but I would still rather manage Preston.
