Tom14 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have just landed myself a decent job with a big step up the league ladder. During the interview process I said that I wouldn't change the backroom staff and on my 'promises' screen it says 'Has promised not to make any changes to the backroom staff set up'. However I only have 2 scouts and the board recommend that I should have 5. If I hire more scouts will it go against me as I am making changes to the backroom staff?

awulfclark Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I think it just means you're expected to retain the staff already in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAlwaysWin Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 made the same promises when i took the spurs job after success with a mediocre team, couldnt make changes to the staff untill the following season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 So I shouldn't hire more scouts then. That's rubbish. It's not like I'm getting rid of anyone I just want to add to the staff. I have £35,000 p/w left over from my wage budget as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 By backroom staff are suggesting additions to the coaching team. Is this an indication that I can appoint new members of staff and the board will be happy with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an indication that I can appoint new members of staff and the board will be happy with it? I think you ought to give it a try and report back. Like I said I think it just means you aren't to sack existing staff, but I see no reason you can't add more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I tried to hire a scout but I got the board cancelled it because I promised not to change the backroom staff. Will have to wait until the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababui Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Bad language used by the game. Change means firing/hiring. Hiring more is adding to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If I got a contract clause that was phrased like that, I would intuitively interpret it as "don't fire the staff already at the club who are now afraid for their jobs." I definitely think it could be made more clear that this is not what is meant. And it really makes no sense that the board are still saying the club needs more staff members of a certain type but won't let you hire any. The advised numbers on the board room screen should change to reflect this restriction... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yep the numbers on the board room screen should definitely change. It also doesn't help that the rest of my backroom staff keep suggesting coaching/scouting additions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
