Sorry to necro this thread, I am just having an issue related to this and wanted to see if anyone had some suggestions.
I took a job with no badges etc at Trelefin in Wales and 4 seasons in we finally have money but the board still will not let me take coaching badges, they say things like "we have to be selfish here, we don't want you to move on to bigger teams" etc and no one else will hire me, I apply for jobs but am laughed off at every turn. So I am trapped at this club! What would you do with this? I got the team to 2nd in the division, obviously not caught up to TNS and have made money foe the club but they refuse to let me go for coaching badges. I am stumped, no teams even in Van north/south will consider me since I still have too low a rep and no badges!
I see I am not the only one who has had this happen...
