David_H1997 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 A couple of people may have seen a post I put on here a week or so ago... I finished my 6th season in charge of a club (At the end of the 2021/2022 season) and decided it was time to move on. In January 2022, I agreed a deal to join a Welsh team in the Welsh Premier League at the end of the season. That team got relegated. Therefore, I took over on May 8th 2022, and was sacked by default as the league they were relegated to wasn't playable, on June 25th 2022. Yep, I lasted a whole 6 and a half weeks! I'm now on August 22nd 2022 and despite having a few interviews, I haven't found a new team yet, I did get a job offer that I would have been really happy with, however they were only prepared to offer me a contract of just over half of what I had previously been earning, so I said no. If I do find a team, I won't have any time left to do transfers now, which makes it more interesting in a way, however this led me to wonder: What is the longest you've been without a job? Have you ever been in a similar situation? At what point in the season have you still been without a job? Interested to hear other peoples experiences.

Pompey1978 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Interested to know your reasons for turning the job down based on the salary offered? Do you role-play the game that seriously? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Probably around a season, I think I had one once that was closing in on 18 months and I was getting a bit desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigBoss Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 One year 2017/18 season I made the stupid mistake of waiting until the near the end of the window before resigning if I had done it straight after probably wouldn't have been that long seeing it was a world cup year and there was a lot of managers on the move Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

225C Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Two months for me. I still like the random destinations of journeyman saves and I'm not too picky where I go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate to this as I turned down the Czech Republic job based on the wages their FA offered me, despite the team being as good, potential wise, as the team I eventually took over, Holland. I don't come cheap. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
