HarryMills Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Like the title says, if you become officially the most successful manager in the history of the sport or close to it, nothing much seems to happen, by which I mean if it were real life pretty much every single tycoon taking over a club would offer you the earth to manage their new club, Spanish presidents would make it their mission each summer to tempt you away to join them, with a carte blanche to do whatever it takes/cost to succeed. In FM it seems to me, ironically given its a management game that not enough is given over to reflecting the status of a manager (also shown when you're automatically removed from legend status whenever you resign) No chairmen/presidents ever come out in the press (or let it be known;) ) that they will do whatever it takes to get you etc, when I reckon in real life with managers like Wenger, Mourinho etc that given half a chance a lot of very wealthy ambitious presidents would sack instantly whoever was in charge and offer everything to try and get these guys. anyone agree?

lutontown1991 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I agree with this. Good point mate. It would certainly add to the game if big clubs were chasing top managers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
finestmeat Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It crushed me when my legend status at Liverpool was revoked purely because i left to join Roma,apparently now that ive left the 20+ trophies i won mean absolutely nothing..so i definitely definitely agree to this! FM2011 should focus more on you,the manager..more background info,personal info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar555 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 But what if by becoming the G.O.A.T, your team have now become the most dominant force in the game and therefore no other club thinks they could afford or tempt you? Maybe thats why? Just playing devils avocado. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And please fix the legend error, a legend is always a legend. Agree with the OP this needs to be worked on, its a mangement game after all. Maybe adding a DoF may help, more power to him until you prove yourself and less power to him once you do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly he's getting on now but I honestly don't remember anyone trying for him. Maybe, ever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly he's getting on now but I honestly don't remember anyone trying for him. Maybe, ever? They did try a few years ago when Man Utd were eliminated from CL in group stages. Had he been fired there was interest from Real Madrid (No surprise) and a few Italian teams, I believe Inter were one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

baker.simon Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I agree OP. I'd also tag on that there isn't enough fuss when you win something. I don't mean flashy graphics or trophy cabinets or trophy presentations even. I mean more of a fuss in the medie, rather than 1 selected ex-player commenting on the success plus a board that hardly seem grateful. Devils avocado?

This happened to me with Leeds as well, after I resigned because I wanted a new challenge just after winning my 2nd CL title and my 5th league title, my legend status was revoked. I re-added myself with FMRTE, but still, if a legendary manager leaves or resignes then they don't became hated, possibly if they leave for one of the club's fierce rivals, but even then, if they are legendary enough (Brian Clough, Ron Saunders) this still won't happen.
