Rayvon2 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am into season 6 of a youth only game I have been playing in France. Started off with the smallest team I could find in the 3rd division, my seasons have gone like this: 2011-12 - National - Predicted 19th, Finished 2nd. Promoted 2012-13 - Ligue 2 - Predicted 20th, Finished 14th 2013-14 - Ligue 2 - Predicted 20th, Finished 13th 2014-15 - Ligue 2, -Predicted 19th, Finished 4th 2015-16 - Ligue 2, Predicted 18th, Finished 2nd, Promoted So now my little tiny club is in the top flight and we have done it using only youth players. To give you an idea of the challenge we face we are prediction to finish bottom, have title odds of 2000-1 and a weekly wage budget of £60k!!! The problem is the minimum season requirement of the board is to avoid relegation! I was hoping for battle bravely against it but no they expect us to stop up which seems impossible. I've played my first five games and its W0 D0 L5 F6 A14 Do you think they will sack me if this continues? As that would seem a bit harsh considering everything I've done (the transfer budget is zero so even if i wasnt playing youth rules i still wouldnt be able to sign anyone major to improve us, especially not with total wage budget of £60k) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvon2 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 a brilliant achievement so far! a think they would be extremely harsh to do so Thats what I think, but, my concern is that the game will just see that they expect us to stop up and wont take account of what I have achieved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFergie86 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It depends on the Chairmans loyalty i think. Which is a hidden attribute unless you have FM Scout or FMRTE. If he is loyal and/or likes you, then i would imagine he will stick with you. However you can also get a Chairman like Mike Ashley or Abramovich who will sack a manager at the first sign of trouble.

achilles-the-victorious Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Have you considered a rethink of youth only (admirable as it is!)? A cheap CB and decent CM could probably make a lot of difference! If thats a no-no, sorry for even suggesting it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty78 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 You will have increased your club stature significantly and that means you would be very unlikely to be sacked. I done a similar youth challenge in England and got relegated from the Premier League after already staying up twice and wasn't even under pressure.

FrazT Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You would be unlucky to be sacked but you know how irrational Boards are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnage94 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You might have some job security issues if you don't meet their expectations which is to avoid relegation. I'd say you would be hard done by but if you have the wrong guy in charge then they may sack you. They will give you definitely until you are relegated, that is if you do go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvon2 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 We managed to find some form, 6 games to go and 5 points clear of relegation, hopefully we stay up! No noises from the board so far that they are unhappy with me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
