11Carraghers Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi, I'm not sure if this had already been posted, whether its a bug, or whether there is an explanation as to why this is "realistic", but here goes. I started a Journeyman Game, unemployed, no reputation etc and took over the reigns at Aberystwyth in the Welsh Premier League. I was predicted to finish 8th in the league and managed to over achieve, finishing 3rd in the league, still challenging TNS with 2 games to play. Not only that, but i won both the Loosemores League Cup and the Welsh Cup, bringing Aber their first (and second) trophey since 1900. The fans were ecstatic, so were the board. When I checked my confidence with the board (job security) I was at around 78%, with the tag line "unsackable" or something similar. I was chuffed. Move forward to the start of season 2, and before even playing a game, (Pre season or Europa League or anything) and my job security is down to 52%. No board take overs or player sales, only players brought in. It seems strange that my job security would go down so much over the off season without playing a single game? Can anyone think of a reason for this, or is it a bug? Any responses are much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ_WWFC Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yes, I've had unsackable, that was after finishing 13th in League 1 with Rossendale. After a poor start (about 4 league games) to the next season I decided to go for bust by issuing an ultimatum about a new stadium/expansion and they sacked me. Previously I've been warned about arrogance and that was when I wasn't even doing that well (in a previous version of FM though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Carraghers Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I got my point across. My point is that my Job security went down from 78% to about 52% during the course of the off-season. I hadn't played any matches be they friendlies, europa league or official matches, I hadn't sold anyone, hadn't had discussions with the board or anything, just poof, 78% down to 52%!! Surely if the board considered my job 78% secure at the end of last season I would start the next season at a similar level? Its like all the work I put in last season gaining a reputation has just disappeared. Perhaps I missed something, maybe I was caught knocking off one of my players ex-wifes or something:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ_WWFC Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It would be a possibility if your name was 11Terrys, but not 11Carraghers!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyno Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It happens, because your "Competitions" factor gets reset to 50% in each at the end of the season. So last year's successes are only reflected in the change of your club stature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Carraghers Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thanks Kyno, I guess that makes sense.My job security was up 2% from the start of last season, and I suppose that my achievements could be a flash in the pan. no sense in hailing me the next Bill Shankly based on 1 quality season. I guess the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" is relevant!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
