Fritz13 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi I've dual managed club and country but only in FMH. Are there any drawbacks in taking a national job whilst also managing a club side? Will any club players that can also play for the country I manage have any additional benefits or disadvantages? These may be obvious questions but I don't want to take the job and find out it's going to alienate my club and or players ... Or not take it only to later regret it Any feedback would be great Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawla123 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The only drawback I experienced was how long it takes to complete a season. I doubt it will affect any of your club players though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz13 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah that is perhaps the main negative It's the Spanish job - currently managing Barca ..... So on the whole a positive then. I ended Iniesta's club career .... Might as well end his International career as well Cheers Brawla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldierblue123 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Certainly takes much longer to complete a season but it is good for your manager's reputation if he does well in international football as well as club etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

addug Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Personally I hate it, that was probably largely down to the fact it was a Spain team with an average age of 29 and refreshing it took far too much work. By the time the international break comes round I need the rest... Never had any issues in regard to anything you've mentioned though. Each to their own, enjoy!

If a player expects to get called up and doesn't, he'll become unhappy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasp Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 You can call them up and just use the Real players in the match, I guess. If they are back on time for the big match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz13 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 To be honest I doubt I'd do that - more likely to call up some of the fringe players in fact and I have more of those than Real Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz13 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 The natural fitness and/or stamina for some of the senior players is shocking Think I'm going to have to dispense with Silva, Cazorla, Isco as they will just need to be subbed after an hours football if I go with a pressing high tempo game.

I noticed a lot of player end matches with 60% conditioning, especially compared to FM14. I dread going into extra time now because I know my team won't be able to do much.

samuelawachie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've just been offered a friendly for Spain4 days before El ClassicoAnything stopping me picking all the Real players and "resting" all of my Barca guys IMO, this is a bug.. You shouldn't be allowed to manage the national team and a team from the top division of that country at the same time so that you wouldn't face such scenarios like this.. i don't know how they can sort it out though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz13 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Not sure it's a bug in the same way that taking over another club and bidding 10 times the value of one of your reserves is a bug. Just because it's possible doesn't neccessarily mean you should do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your opinion that it should never happen. But if Mourinho wins the league and Champions League a bunch of times, you bet England would offer him the job (again) and you bet they'll let him manage Chelsea still if that's what it takes to get him before the chance goes. Hell they probably would do that today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
