[Discussion] "Club Influence"

[FromElevenOne]

A "Club influence" percentage for your manager. Would go up with success, longevity, achieving board goals and down with the opposite.

You could even imagine it as a difficulty setting. Eg. starting in League Two as a former international, you'd start with a lot of influence, start at Liverpool as a Sunday League footballer, you'd have 0%.

FM could lock out certain responsibilities until you have enough influence. Force you to use a DoF for transfers, not allow you to influence the U23 sides tactics and so on.

Haven't thought about it for long, the above essentially copied over from FMSlack.

It should be an option before your stat a New save one the page where they have option like " Mask attributs etc...

I'd second this.  And possibly add in a "Club Vision locked hierarchies" option, too.  So that you could replicate real-life situations where clubs explicitly hire DoF, Technical Directors, etc... to deal with transfers, hirings, etc...  This would add a different flavour to games where you might turn down job-offers because you don't want to work within those confines (but it would have to be a start-game option, or else you'd have a revolt on your hands if we couldn't take over our favourite club and control everything)

This is a great idea,

 

You get offered that 'big job' as a young manager, but.....you have to give up transfer freedoms etc to get it. Tough choices.

To make it even better, I'd love the internal politics of it all. DoF makes a big signing, and he tell on you with the Chairman for not using the player enough. You're forced to use the player.

Or you're forced to support certain players in the media because you have to protect the reputation of those above you.

etc.
