Just been sacked! Help me!

[DHS]

Hello. I have just gone on a 14 game unbeaten run with Gateshead and am 4th in the table (this is on FM2015) and then out of the blue I got sacked for failing to deal with player disharmony or something.

I'm not having that.

I've spent weeks building, scouting, training, etc. Seems very harsh.

So I've done a bad thing and quit without saving but it's only one week before my 'sacking' when I loaded it back up. Is there ANYTHING I can do to prevent myself from being sacked? There's only one game during this week and I won it last time around.

I know the quitting and reloading is bad but I hardly ever play FM anymore but have really got into this save and didn't see it coming at all.

So is there any big gestures you can do that will make all your players like you?

I suspect you probably had a warning about player harmony a while back and have failed to do anything over some time... not a whole lot you can do if you haven't already.

But considering you are already in reloading territory, just re add yourself as manager if you get sacked.

Ta.

It's terrible that reloading thing isn't it. Never mind. Don't think I'd be arsed playing again otherwise. I'd only do it for an unrealistic sacking like this never to overturn results.

I've just given them a team meeting and told them all how amazing they are and their names all went green.

It is ridiculous that you can get fired for something as stupid as this.

I was relegation favourites after a promotion, but managed to sit 3rd with 12 games to go.

I got fired because 5 of my senior players thought my team lacked depth, despite buying 11 players in the previous transfer window.

This just shouldn't happen. As a manager who is overachieving, why was I fired because of some prima donnas.

Well. I've made it past the point where I got sacked. Two team meetings in which I bigged them up and also put a player in the side who was whinging.

That's crap though. If you're 14 games unbeaten there's no way you'd get sacked because a couple of your players were unhappy about not being in the side.

I agree with jonnycosmic.

It's a great game, of course it is. But results over-ride just about everything in football in real life don't they.

No, but if you had five players raising concerns, all of them senior, more reputable than you and in the board's eyes of greater value to the club than you, and you refused to even talk to any of them about it... that might be a different matter.

[DHS]

Suppose. But wouldn't they wait until the team stopped winning?

I've just lost the next game 1-0 as well! The plot thickens.

No, but if you had five players raising concerns, all of them senior, more reputable than you and in the board's eyes of greater value to the club than you, and you refused to even talk to any of them about it... that might be a different matter.

But no amount of conversation appeases them. If I tell them I'll strengthen, they get annoyed at lack of first team football.

If I tell them that I believe in the young players we are bringing through, they disagree.

If I tell them I manage the team and if they want to leave they can, they understandably get upset.

The talk to player option makes no difference. I could reload and choose different options and still have the same outcome.

Not to mention the already reported bug that keeps all promises on "1 day to go".

It's almost unplayable.
