George graham

I think the new game is really good apart from the fact that manager relationships with their staff needs to be improved drastically, its all very well them occassionally leaving with the manager but that manager never reappoints them when they move onto another club, i now it sounds petty but it makes a big difference to how the future could plan out.

Also SI why do you not add managers like Dalglish, and the legendry George Graham. It's all very well thinking they've retired but when you do this they usually come back. Look at what happened with Kevin Keegan last year when you missed him off the database, and look and what happened at Newcastle with Joe Kinnear. Please just add these legends and tidy this staff issue up, it would make the game so much better and less predictable.

1. The relationships between managers and staff can be very strong. Managers will sometimes emply ex-staff or leave the club with the staff. This generally only happens over long-term games, which could explain why you haven't seen it.

2. We don't include older managers and stuff for size issues. If we kept in every old manager that might possibly one day return to football our database would be enormous for no reason.

it would make the game so much better

A bit of an overstatement imo.

yeah but kenny dalglish and george graham, after all he has been linked with the sunderland job and newcastle

but if you added in say them 2 managers ( and i would love to see kenny in the game ) then you got to add in alot more managers as well because people would complain about not including there favoruite manager. and so as stated it would take up alot of space which could be put to use for better things.

true i suppose but in the days of championship manager all managers were always on their

yeah but kenny dalglish and george graham, after all he has been linked with the sunderland job and newcastle

"linked" being the key word, no more than newspaper talk.

I really see no need for additional unemployed AI managers, what difference would it make to the game?

Liked to have seen Shearer included as potential manager

it adds some surprice to the game, the odd shock like joe kinnear at newcastle. Pundits having one last crack of the wip maybe training a younger coach like shearer. If sunderland had done that with Keane he might have been a better manager for them.

why isnt kevin keagan in the game?

too busy fightingfor his £8m compensation.

keegan is in the game if you play with large database but never gets any jobs

In my game Keegan's in his third spell at Newcastle after briefly taking over from the retired Alex Ferguson!!

could someone from si please do me a favour and give me a update to put george graham on my database.

You can put him in yourself with the Data Editor. Load the database, create a non-player, give him George Graham's details

yeah but i cant put in his non-playing history because it wont let me for some reason i can only add playing history as a player. Could'nt si do an update pack to add him

Liked to have seen Shearer included as potential manager

Shearer is also in

Ask someone to do him in the editor's forum, there's no way SI will do an update adding one person for one person to use.

i cant find him

Shearer is on mine and so is Keegan. I'm running large database though so he may not be in medium or small.

strange because ive checked my database and hes not in it

Neil, have you got the original database or the 9.1.0 patch? it's possible he was added in the patch.

Is there nothing in the editor that you can change so certain people are in a smaller database? So the people that so desperatly want one person can have them.

i dont see why george graham would be in fm. i mean when was he last in managment? 2000?

Surely you could add these in the Database yourself?

Neil, have you got the original database or the 9.1.0 patch? it's possible he was added in the patch.

ive uploaded a patch and shearer still isn't in it its the 9.1.0 update.

This is a weird post. This guy is more interested in AI managers than he is in getting his own game in order. This isnt "make your own database" the game. Some ppl....

check for him on data editor, theres a lot of old players in there that never load into the game, but if you put them at small clubs at coaches they appear and some soon evolve into managers. I gave john aldridge a job in 08 as a coach at accrinton as he was in the database. By 2010 he was the liverpool manager

How about SI add Brian Clough into the game?

yeah but i cant put in his non-playing history because it wont let me for some reason i can only add playing history as a player. Could'nt si do an update pack to add him

Then you are doing something wrong when loading up the DB.

I have just put him in my game as a test (took him straight out again) with both his playing and non-playing history.

When you open up the editor, click on the 'Edit' button, this gives a drop-down menu that says 'Options', click on that, this allows you to load P & NP history, which can be inserted when creating your new manager.

Hope that helps.

yeah mate i know that but it only loads player history on my database it never loads the non-playing history for anyone and i cant understand why cos i but the update on

yeah mate i know that but it only loads player history on my database it never loads the non-playing history for anyone and i cant understand why cos i but the update on

Yes, I see what you mean. Although for managers currently in the game, their none-playing history is now listed under 'achievments'.

The DB has some kind of problem in that respect, I suppose you could still have him in their, although in all reality I doubt VERY much the likes of him or Dalglish would ever return to management at a PL level.

The game has moved on way too much for these two, brilliant though they were.

got patch upload and grahams in the game, ive edited him myself
