It works for the Player Liaison Officer and the Press Officer but not for the Personal Assistant.

I always ignore any advice to praise players and virtually any other advice I receive from the Ass Man. IMO it’s important to be fairly sparing in the number of times you praise any one player. I praise players: o at the end of a match if they’ve a rating of >= 8.0; o the goalkeeper at the end of the match if he’s kept a clean sheet and has a rating of >= 7.5. It’s hard for a goalkeeper to get a good rating so 7.5 is a normally a very good rating. I only do this on an ad hoc basis if he regularly performs well. o after the post match press conference if they are reported as being MotM but not for more than one match in succession; o at the beginning of each month if they have a training rating of >= 7.75; o if I’ve asked them to sort out another player’s complaint and they’ve been successful; and o if they’ve successfully completed a language course I criticise players: o at the end of match if they have a rating of <= 6.4; o at the beginning of each month if they have a training rating of <= 6.5 o if I notice that the board or supporters are not happy about a particular player’s form.

Thank you.

I just discovered a folder ....Football Manager 2024\matches\automatic which contains dozens of recorded matches which total about 2.8GB. Is there any reason why I should not delete these? and if not how do prevent them from being saved in future?

To start a new career in FM24 I think that you need to edit all the 24xx files .... that's what I do.

Oh ... I misunderstood you. I've no no idea what United are called in the game.

This doesn't change the name of a club only the names of some support staff

You have to start a new game.

See the top line of the post to which I linked and just update the years. You’ll see a file called support_staff.edt edit that file and save it as support _staff.lnc

Have a look here and scroll down to the post by @JackieChan126 For FM24 you have to save the file with file name extension of "Inc" instead of "edt"

If I were you I would ask in The editors Hideaway where the experts hang out

possibly under his contract ??

Not got the game open at the moment but in the Preferences menu there is an option to sort attributes alphabetically.

Absolutely ... it looks brilliant.

I thought that virtually everybody who plays FM knows that you should never make promises

Here's a link to Dell's comments on using laptops in different countries to quote from there "Different countries use power supplies at different voltages (usually 110 V or 220-240 V) and AC frequencies (usually 50 Hz or 60 Hz). Most Dell AC adapters can operate between 100 VAC to 240 VAC (Volts Alternating Current) and can operate effectively across different locations. The label on the back of the AC adapter brick specifies the input voltage range of the adapter. CAUTION: The AC adapter provided with your Dell laptop works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, the power cable might not be compatible with the power sockets available in another location. Using an incompatible power cable or improperly connecting the power cable to an electrical outlet may cause a fire hazard or damage the device. NOTE: When traveling, check the type of power sockets that are used in the location you are traveling to. You can use universal travel adapters that help you connect the power cable to the power socket in multiple locations. Dell does not sell these, but you can buy these at many electrical retail stores or supermarkets. You can find more information about power sockets, plugs, and voltages in this Wikipedia Article - Mains electricity by location " Hope this is useful

And delete preferences

When looking at players to loan try concentrating on those who are in final year their contracts. Towards the end of the the year you may be able to negotiate with them to join you permanently when their contracts expire thus getting the players without playing any transfer fees.

I set up the DoF to sign new players but I have the final say. Here is a player for whom he had a bid accepted Basically, I'm given virtually no useful information about other than the position he plays. So, IMO the recommendation is pretty useless and there's no point in using the DoF unless you want to give him total control on signings as a role play

Quite correct. Excellent analysis.

Go to Tactics>>Player then click on each of the two central defender spots. The player in question should be showing under each of the spots. Click on his name in both positions and give him a personalised instruction to play as a CD.

Agree. This happens all the time and is incredibly annoying

I've had exactly the same. I usually press the button to get the DoF to sign all recommended players from the youth intake and I've never had any problems but when I've started the negotiations myself I've sometimes faced silly requests.
