Some guy.... Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Okay, here's the thing I've watched some amazing clubs around me crumble for no apparent reason. The most recent is Arsenal, who had an amazing squad, they then sacked they manager (I have no idea why!), began falling down the league and then were forced to sell unhappy players (I got 2 of them!). Banfield was just given the position of manager at Arsenal... Another example of strange manager choices for big clubs is Chelsea. They hired the amazing John Kosmina. Now, I thought when I saw the name Kosmina that it meant that he had moved up in the world and had done some seriously good things in his career whilst I wasn't looking. NOPE! On the 26th of October 2008 John Kosmina was sacked by Sydney FC. On the 28th of June 2017 he has appointed manager of Chelsea... I think I missed something here!

backpackant Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Paul Jewel manages Valencia on my game (2015). But then again, if some nobody office worker or 14 year-old schoolkid can manage Man U, I guess anything goes . Definitely some odd decisions by chairmen. AND managers. They can't seem to build a balanced squad past 2011. Hopefully FM09 will see an end to this sort of thing - eg, Liverpool buying 3 world class left wingers but having no one to play on the right.

Some guy.... Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Actually, I find there are some great managers in the game. But clubs seem to sack their good managers when they don't win the title, followed by them imploding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 The worst manager on my game is Patrick Vieira who has managed to get 3 teams relegated. Including the achievement of losing every single match with Schalke, after taking over when they were 5th place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFuzzyOne Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I left tottenham for barca(with their obscene amounts of money) and they imploded. From EPL champs to 9th place.

That's shocking - there are plenty of real life situations where a manager and a club have parted ways cordially. Should be changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I know, it's very frustrating. I spent 6 years at Bayern and came out 100% disliked, 366 days at Spurs and left for Barcelona and was 100% disliked. The Spurs one I understand, but I thought i'd be a bit of a hero with the Bayern fans, especially since I became the first manager to win 6 titles in a row.

turn it upto 11 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 the only thing that can stop you being disliked is letting your contract run. tbh though if your at a top club and leave for another, you are bound to be disliked. fans have short memories, even more so on FM. oh and boards have memories worse than our fishy friends.

Mike7077 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Arsenal are managed by Pat Rice on my game! And they're damn good! Liverpool, however, are bottom of the league and managed by Javier Aguirre. I do think that it shouldn't be possible for Liverpool, only two seasons in, to end up in a relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abs_UK Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 There are some shocking decisions whithin the game, and i think this is somthing which would need to be improved in future releases.. Also on the note of leaving clubs, i was at Manchester United for 13 years. after 4 years at Barcelona i noticed United got relegated so i applied for the job then to find out that my application was not successfull, loaded up FMM to check my status and i was 100% disliked.. (I left the status as it is, but this is somthing which needs to be looked at for future relases also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogravy Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 speaking of terrible managers, liverpool in my game are predicted to finish 2nd and the best they could find was Drazen Ladic And the fans can't even blame Hicks and Gillett! Eddie McCarthy took over and the club is now listed as rich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some guy.... Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Pat Rice took charge of Reading in my game, and took them to a title challenge, before retirement at the end of the season. Paul le Guen was doing very well with Arsenal, before they sacked him. They are just doing terribly now. It's now a relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that FM rate Pat Rice as the best Assman in the world (along with Cappello's #2 for England. In my saves Wenger always resigns to take over France after Euro 2008! Aguirre seems to relieve Benitez of his duties in most savegames. With SAF retiring after a season and being succeeded by every USELESS ex-Manyoo manager (Coppell, Bruce, yet not Keane or Hughes) both these 'Big 4' sides take a tumble.
