podunkboy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 To me, that would be like giving a command and a high-powered weapon to someone and asking them to lead a military offensive because they're really good at "Call of Duty". I mean, is this guy going to set tactics and training, negotiate contracts, etc? Guess if they're already in the relegation zone, what can it hurt (except for careers, injuries...)?

Real-life managers don't negotiate contracts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik_Dut Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 is he in the game ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football Manager. Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Which isn't because of him as he's not the first team manager.He effectively took over the role of reserve team manager, so isn't working with the first team at all. Thanks for that mate i HATE it when people post misleading comments like that and i bet everyone reading this does really think he's been given a managers job based on soley his success on FM and he has taken the team nearly into europe when infact it's pretty much all wrong. Edit: The misleading drivel was from soccer joel not you incase of confusion! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I heard every time his team loses, he reloads over and over until they win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
