I'm not really sure where to post this. But here goes. I feel when applying for jobs clubs are looking almost solely at what player has won. In a recent save i started i started a Glory Hunter with Union Berlin. Now we know how strong Bayern are this year, and rightly so. I'm now into season 4. And this is whats prompted me to post this.
My record at Union Berlin is as follows.
Season 1 - 6th place in Bundesliga, Semis of Pokal, Semis of Europa Conference.
Season 2 - 4th place in Bundesliga, Quarters of Europa League, Pokal Third Round (Drew Bayern Away)
Season 3 - 3rd in Bundesliga, Quarters of Champions League, Runners up in Pokal.
During this time applying for other jobs I've had 1 single interview. Any other jobs (even a job like Villa/Leicester) are stating while they view me as a good candidate my lack of silverware puts them off (all bar spurs have said this, their reason was my entertaining football i played). So what we're saying is change the results of one 90 min game (the pokal final) I'm open to interviews with top clubs. But without that I'm not even open to any mid table clubs.
I struggle to believe this is how football would work in real life. We see all the time young managers who're showing strong signs of progress getting bigger jobs regularly.
