GaryF1888 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Does it really matter if you're getting paid £100 a week or £100,000? Not like there's any personal side to the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner86 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 It can give you a bit more job security since the compensation to sack you would be higher. On the flip-side though it'll also reduce the amount of offers from other clubs for the same reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluesigns Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh, let's have some fun here... Why don't SI let all managers build up their career earnings and then give them options to spend that money on clothes, cars and houses. Maybe there should be an option for you to use some of your hard earned cash to buy a club, and then you could be chairman and stuff, sacking managers and so on. Wouldn't it be great if you could pile all of wages into one big lump sum and click on the "Buy the Moon" option... I'm only surprised nobody has already posted similar nonsense in this thread first, as someone ALWAYS suggests this whenever the manager salaries are mentioned.

Edle Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 [tak] To increase the realism of the game I think you should look at your earnings and calculate your potential lifestyle if you earned your wage in real life. Then opn FMRTE and add houses, yachts and fast cars to please your ego. This will increase realism. [/tak] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Some people have set personal rules regarding their contracts; stuff like "I'll work for any club that doubles my salary" or the like.

Crownejewell Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 How do you say stuff about the refs? ive looked a few times and cant see anything?

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Probably you are not handling the press conferences yourself? It is possible to give yourthoughts/opinion about the ref, after the match. Not in every situation, though. I wanted to yell at a ref recently and it never came up in the press conference; I wish there were a way to leak to the press that I may want to talk about the ref ahead of time.

Quboid Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I always set to the minimum, since it's just taking money that could be spent on players. Definitely not realistic, as I'd be looking to grab as much as I can if it actually meant anything. Skuff: in post-match interviews, you might get asked about a dodgy decision and you can get yourself in trouble if you're too hard on the ref. It's generally worth it, just for the satisfaction of telling the game what you thought of that penalty/offside/whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WH Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Sims 3 would be a great game for those who wan't to buy cars and houses in the game. It's a life sim and none of this football stuff would get in the way. Another stupid suggestion from One of my friends was that he would like to be able to upgrade the players boots to increase their finishing skills and new shirts to boost stamina etc, etc. Obviously he had to be killed.

thebluesigns Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It's a pity you had to kill your friend WH. You could have sold that idea to EA Sports for inclusion in the next version of FIFA. Just in case you ever get round to pitching the concept of upgrading boots to them, could you also flag up the potential benefits of having an option to bribe refs/dope players/allow hooligans into matches for free. All in the name of advanced manager realism, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WH Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I had LMA Manager on the origional playstation. The manager was responsible for choosing which type of stands to put in when updating the stadium. Also you had to pick which companys to put on your advertising boards. It was all a little too much as the manager would have no say in any of these things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Glass Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 With high wages for a manager, we could then create a side game called - Football Director 2011, as an ex manager becomes a millionaire director of a lower league team ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsallaboutthierry Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 You should be able to buy racehorses - what harm could possibly come from that? Oh, the contacts you make could buy lots of shares in your club. Then a few years down the line they could sell their shares to some americans who don't care about the club purely because they themselves are only in it for the money. Then your club could be saddled with massive debts. But I'm sure this would never happen IRL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrethiel Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 working in low leagues it only affects my budget when they give me ridiculous raises, is there any way to tell them, "I'll keep my current salary" or even better, "I love you guys, I'll manage for food"?

Blacksquare Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Football Manager really lacks depth. Most people think that people play this game to manage the tactics of a match.

I have to say I agree, mostly - although I'm gearing myself towards the tactical end of it now. I'd love a chance to buy a club or join a consortium in future FM games (although I got flamed for saying so in another thread ...) - and I've had a look at FIFA Manager (or whatever the EA Sports variant is called) and I don't like it. I want SI's interface and depth and (relative) realism with the option to make me a board member instead of simply just a manager. Anyway - I'm done. lol -Ian.
