andyroscoe77 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Can't believe it - I've been sacked when 2nd in the league, due to player power. I feel like AVB! Managing Rangers - took over in Dec 2015 when they were struggling against relegation in the Scottish Championship, and eventually finished 5th (2 points off a play-off place), which included a 7-0 win against eventually promoted Ross County. Come the start of the new season, I revamped the squad with a view to not just winning the division (and therefore promotion to the SPL), but also winning the Training Cup (for non-SPL sides) and possibly having a go at the league cup or the FA Cup. My new star midfielder (Ben Pearson, released from Man Utd) was sent off on his debut for 2 yellows, and was then sent off again 4 games later, again for 2 yellows. The 2nd red cost us a league cup defeat, and I fined him 1 weeks wages. The whole squad turned against me, and despite then putting together a run of 5 wins and calming a lot of them down, I was sacked, with the board citing the disharmony within the squad! Has this happened to anyone else? Gutted!! I always start low down the leagues (started with Aguia de Maraba in Brazil's Serie C), so to get a job like Rangers, with that potential, so early on in my career was a dream. Ah well, onwards and upwards... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyer Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've been forced to sell star players before. i think the way the game has players that can ruin a save over something stupid is quite....stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroscoe77 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 It does seem daft - but then it seems a bit like what happened with AVB at Chelsea, and to a lesser degree at Spurs. The thought that a load of jumped-up Scottish Championship players can wield such power over a manager who won 2 state titles, 2 consecutive promotions and 2 cups in 2 seasons in Brazil upsets me though! Just taken a job with MVV Maastricht in Holland, so I hope to move up through the leagues, and beat the crap out of Rangers in the Champions League in a few years!

CarltonBanks Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Did you issue a warning on the first sending off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siobri Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Sounds realistic enough. Annoying for sure, but this is the modern world where pandering to a bunch of cry babies is a fundamental part of being a professional football manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

v InterfectoR v Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I just hope this is fixed in the next update, there was a thread I made about this type of thing and it's awfully silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarltonBanks Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 If you go straight to a fine without a previous warning for the same thing, of course they're going to get mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstrikuuu Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I recommend reading Jim Bouton's Ball Four. He's got a bit where he talks about the heirarchy of a baseball team. It goes something like: Owner, Star, General Manager (Director of Football), Manager, Regular Player, Coach, Whale Vomit, Bit-Part Player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
