RichChestmat Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'm new to this game and managing Hyde in the Blue Square North. My assistant manager is also my backup striker. I'm signing a younger striker to replace him but I want to keep him on as assistant manager. What's the best way to stop paying this guy to play football without also sacking him as a staff member? This might be obvious but I couldn't find anything in the manual about this and I'm wary that getting it wrong will annoy my asst. manager or accidentally sack him.

go-on-jonny!!! Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 offer him a contract as just a assistant manager if he dont accept i dont no what to do mate hope it helps anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMysterio Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah this is the only solution taht I would know. Hopefully he may choose to retire and therefore you renegotiate his contract and it'll have to be a non-player contract. Or you could offer him a new contract. Under role (which would probably be on Player/Ass Manager by default) change it to just Ass Manager and hopefully he will be interested in what you are offering. However what I find with ex-players is that they still expect massive contracts so it may be worth keeping him as back-up if it costs the same (or possibly less) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 So long as his playing status is back-up he'll be happy to be your assman and sit in the reserves. Oddly, even if he breaks his leg in a reserves match, it won't affect his ability to do his 'other' job! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichChestmat Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah but I'm paying him £180 per week part time to sit about. He's 35 and that's old enough for a striker at this level. The new striker I'm getting is over 10 years younger and already better than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
