Interim Manager feature broken

[barron]

I like the idea of the interim manager, but it seems completely broken. Two cases in point;

Having taken Woking from the Conference to the Premier League & Champions League titles within ten years, I fancied a change of scenery and to take on a new challenge. At the end of the season, I applied for the Deportivo La Coruna job, in Segunda (which was free). Upon being offered it, I was told it was an interim position?! Firstly, what club appoints an interim at the end of a season? Also, i'm (in game) basically the best manager around (also Brazil manager at the time) - in what world would they not bite my hand off?

Instead, I applied to Zaragoza (also Segunda) and got that full time. Now, having taken them to the Primera at the first time of asking, i've also won the Copa America with Brazil. I was told by a news item, i'd have 'the pick of any international job'. Now applying to my home country of England (also free), i've been told this will also be an interim position! It's utterly ludicrous. What nation would not take a manager with that kind of record full time?!

It's a nice feature/idea, but it's hard to argue with it being spectacularly badly implemented given the examples above.

Do you have any of the save games available to send in - it doesn't sound like its the interim manager feature which is the issue but the reputation that your player has, I'd like to check and fix this if possible (i've had a few reports of issues with manager reputation not scaling up correctly sometimes and it'd be great to be able to fix this if possible).
