toiletfootball Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I'm still playing 23 so i'd be interested to know if this is the same on 24? In my current save I've found that any 4 star coach who is prepared to join my club wants ridiculous wages, so, I've been hiring younger coaches with room to develop. I've found that often they will refuse to take a coaching course, the board message is something like 'although your suggestion makes perfect sense coach X has no interest in taking a coaching course'. I mean, really? You've just started a new job and your employer wants to pay for you to improve your career prospects. You refuse of course:-). I've always been convinced that the devs put certain things in the game just to annoy people! Which to be fair I'd probably do myself:-). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It's a common experience for me as a lower league manager. They have low ambition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fc.cadoni Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Maybe they hit their PA as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You refuse of course:-) As someone who has worked in IT in various positions for a while now, I can say with confidence this is not only plausible, but happens much more often than you'd think... That said, I've also had bosses who wanted people to take courses or certifications that are meaningless, so it works both ways, really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd_angel Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 They refuse taking courses to have more time to play FM at home, c'mon... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrIgz Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I've also worked in football and personally know many coaches who refuse to do additional courses on top of the accreditation they already hold. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletfootball Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Thanks all for the replies. Interesting to learn that football coaches can be workshy like the rest of us :-). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyOnTheRun Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I found that if you have a fitness coach refusing to take courses, he is more likely to accept if you change his contract to coach. But it is rare that a staff member is capable of both these roles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCell0phane Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Funny, but I encountered this just the other day for the first time ever. Better I think than having your board dole out courses to random members of your B team staff while denying your first team requests due to "lack of funds" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletfootball Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 So further to this in case anyone is interested. Neither low ambition or PA seem to be the reason for refusal (I checked with a third party utility and one of my refusing coaches has Ambition 16 and CA126/PA186). It does seem to happen more with coaches under 30. But, if you wait about 18 months they will usually accept (you need to wait three months between requests for the option to reappear).

sdx15 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Usually coaches with determination 10 or less refuse courses and there's nothing you can do to change their mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
