18-WATP-73 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just been sacked by cork city in my career game. Had just made it to july and alot of my free transfers had came in to help us push for the league title. Some one else said they would like my job and I was sacked. Checked the new guy and he had only managed a low spanish side not even in a playable league. Feel bad that i've been replaced by a nobody. Any one else suffered anything similar?

Jon Lang Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 i've never had this happen to me no. but i've always thought that if i did i would take it that perhaps it wasn't the right job for me and that i was ment for better things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swed151 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I read it happened to someone else recently. They'd recently won promotion and the board sacked him after a regen manager declared interest in the job when he struggled at first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribe Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I got sacked for the first time ever when I was top of the league and still in all the cups.

lutontown1991 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well Cork City are a team with a very low reputation and have financial troubles so not surprised by that. maybe they couldnt afford your wages anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well Cork City are a team with a very low reputation and have financial troubles so not surprised by that. maybe they couldnt afford your wages anymore Maybe, but by sacking him would cost more surely? Besides, the new guy will need paying aswell. Think Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

18-WATP-73 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Pat Fenlon was linked with Dundee United and almost got the job. The club were financialy ok as I sold 2 players for a million each. Which the board praised me for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutontown1991 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Because someone declared interest in the job and the board chose this other guy.

18-WATP-73 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Did you enter into negotiations for a new contract?

Wee Lad Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 In FM08, I took Leeds top of League One with the 15 pt deficit, then two seasons later took them into the Premiership, kept them there for two years (the 2nd season being no. 1 in the league for a short spell). A board took over and replaced me with Graeme Souness. I was pretty angry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
18-WATP-73 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 to be fair Graeme Souness would have a lot more experiance than you. And would be the better manager. Harsh still though.

18-WATP-73 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 In terms of what trophies won compared to the trophies wee lad would have one he would be. Thinking of getting a under 21, 20 or 19 job then lutontown? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutontown1991 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I would pick Wee Lad ahead of him anyway. No mate I'm not playing FM atm, waiting on 10.3 tbh.

lutontown1991 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Have they had three different owners this year or something? And they have a winding-up order against them?

Wee Lad Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would pick Wee Lad ahead of him anyway. Cheers. I'm not a fan of Graeme. And btw, he wouldn't get he job ahead of me because I gave Leeds two successful promotions (which includes one with a -15 pt deficit), and my experience is set to International Footballer which automatically gives me a better rep than Graeme, speaking from an in-game point of view.

Troneas Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i think there is a lesson to learn here my club has so far come to me to discuss my contract a year before it ends (three times now and always exactly 365 days before it ends); so i presume that if they don't it is you who should be persuing them around this time of the year -if you wan't to keep that job. it would seem that if the club "forgets" to renew your contract one year before they won't come to you at all - and other candidates will start trying to get your job 6 months before your contract expires.

Yep thats why I said that. Considering how well you did with Leeds I dont see how anyone could choose Souness ahead of you. Besides he's been out of the managerial scene with a while now.
