martb1978 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Started a new game by creating a new club and working my way up from the bottom. I have won promotion 3 years on the trot as champions (currently in Skybet League 1), won the FA Cup twice, the Capital One Cup once, the UEFA Cup, The Johnstones Paint Trophy and the FA Trophy twice. Yet no matter how many times I apply for the England job I just get a straight rejection. Don't make the shortlist, get interviewed, nothing. Just a straight "you have been unsuccessful'. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the job ahead of Garry (snip) Monk or Slaven Bilic?!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Firstly.. watch your language on the forums please, it's usually a straight infraction.... Check your reputation compared to others listed.. that's the usual reason... The only thing you can do is carry on being successful .. Chances are, you won't get a look in as you are still in league 1 .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Being in league one & winning all those cup competitions suggests that you've used some skullduggery to gain your achievements & this could cause unexpected behaviours, that said when was the last time a top nation employed a manager of a lower league club?

Curly Claret Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You've clearly discovered the in-game editor so you could maybe use that if there's a way to up your rep? or can't you just use it to add yourself as England manager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Completely didn't register that he'd won the Uefa cup while in league one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 What makes it better is that the could have won it while managing in League 2 & the FA Cup while in the Conference National. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martb1978 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well, to combat the sarcasm!... I did use the editor for the first time but literally only adjusted young players potential to maximum and to bring in top youth coaches. Paying off and, well, what can i say? I'm good I did look at adjusting my rep for that reason but no joy. Also, can't see any way to add myself as England manager. From what I can see you can only switch to another club side.

You can't be that good if you adjusted every one of your youth players to potentially be the greatest player in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Indeed, with the way AI transfer shortlisting & player happiness works they'd have all been poached by bigger clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martb1978 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Not everyone, just a handful to experiment as I'd never done it before. But well done on trying to justify that I can't be 'that good'. Why do you feel the need to prove something when all I asked was a simple question about the England job? Don't worry, I'm sure you're great too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martb1978 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 They have tried but I've batted them off for now. Next question... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzke Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Does the game really take into account use of the ingame editor when calculating a human manager's reputation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Why is this even an issue? Why would they hire a League One manager, regardless of what you've won? Put unrealistic input in, you'll get "unrealistic" output (despite this being pretty realistic to be honest) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Well obviously lower competitions have a lower weight when it comes to getting reputation bumps when winning them, so op's reputation obviously won't be as high as a premier league manager... all theory anyway as op hasn't given us any tangible information to go on.

Maw74 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have won promotion 3 years on the trot as champions (currently in Skybet League 1), won the FA Cup twice, the Capital One Cup once, the UEFA Cup, The Johnstones Paint Trophy and the FA Trophy twice. On a personal level that is great success but I wouldn't really expect promotions up to League One to have much effect towards the England post, as for cup wins in bold obviously those are great but what have the other managers done? What positions have they been getting in Premier League? I should think managing in the top flight is a major factor as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Okay, not to jump into an established "why not me" thread....but...why not me? I'm in 2021, managing Forfar in the Scottish Premier, and near the end of the season, the Scottish national board terminates the under 19 head coach for unacceptable results. I think to myself, "hey, I should go for that one!" and then see, two notes up in the inbox, they've already hired the replacement - Charlie Adam, a former player for Morton, Partick Thistle, and several others, whose only managing experience was 22 days as a caretaker manager (2 losses)while he was still a player for Morton. Season ended, he was replaced, he retired, and has been out of all work for a year. My manager has a continental reputation, a continental pro license, and a 202-99-85 record. I'm not saying I should be the presumptive choice, but there's no way this guy (even with 22 caps for Scotland) should be running the U19s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwest227 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 U19 jobs are really low reputation to be honest. They also tend to be hand-picked by the manager of the senior side. So if you're managing a top-flight side then they would probably presume the role was beneath you! In my current save I managed to get the Spain U19 job whilst managing Sevilla's B-Team in the Spanish bottom divisions, which tells you everything about U19 reputation. Hope this helps! As far as the original poster goes - see the previous comments. Reputation is key and it can take a long time to build a worldwide rep naturally. Starting from the bottom with no coaching qualifications I felt the same frustrations with my rep not seeming to boost despite winning Spanish 2 Div B title, French cup with Rennes and a Portuguese domestic treble with Porto. It was only by winning the Champions' League with Porto that my reputation suddenly boosted significantly - I went from 2 and half star to 4 and half in the space of a season and suddenly was offered the England job after a dismal Euro 2032 campaign and the Man Utd job after Diego Simeone's retirement! So just hang in there I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
