Who am I answering to in team meetings?

This is what I always thought it was. -

Plug and Play Preset Tactic
Jonthedon26 replied to GS_Ball's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I used 442 wing play with Birmingham City and it has worked really well for me, although I did change a few things here or there. -
A+ Fan Reaction to New Signing?
Jonthedon26 replied to phd_angel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Ye this is a very good point! If a player is signed with the squad status as fringe player or emergency backup or whatever you would hope the fans judge that player against that squad status, rather than just looking at the player and scratching their heads wondering why you have signed a player not as good as your star man! -
I know that AI squad building has been discussed many times before on these forums, however it still baffles me how often I see instances whereby the AI buys one of my players for a decent fee (in this example Levante bought Bacuna from me at Birmingham City for £11m), never plays them (literally not one game) then puts them on the transfer list for a much lower fee 6 or 12 months later....crazy! Is this the same in everyone else's game or is it just me?

Wild Player Valuations
Jonthedon26 replied to CanaryBoy's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Pluck a number from the top of your head and that's how it is calculated! For premier league players add a few more zero's to the end.- 1 reply

Max Staff Wages Decreasing
Jonthedon26 replied to Chooxen's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Yep, happened after I got promoted to the premier league with Birmingham City so had to let half my staff go. -
I second this. I got promoted with Birmingham City in my 2nd season, finishing as the leagues top scorers and creating loads of chances. I started the PL pretty well, scored 3 against Arsenal, 2 against United and went unbeaten in my first 6 games. Since the update my team literally has like 4 shots per game and has blanked in 3 of my last 4 games. I am tinkering with my tactic to try and fix it, but I play an extremely basic 442 get it out wide and cross it and there isn't really much you can tinker with that and I don't want to rip up my style and start again. I agree it is very frustrating when you find a tactic that works for your team/players then it seems to go to pot post update, but going to keep persisting as I have signed some really good younger players that I am looking forward to seeing develop.

B team head coach not arranging friendlies
Jonthedon26 replied to kornflex's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I noticed the other day that my U23s team had like 1 league game per month for 2 straight months and no friendlies had been arranged...was ultra annoying having to do it all manually -
Same, they have worded that horribly if that is the case! I have always thought it was better to have no line rather than the "poor" one. You learn something new every day!

Staff search help....please
Jonthedon26 replied to Jonthedon26's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
That is great, thank you. I will give that a go! -
Hi all, just completed my first season in game and I am in pre season of season two. Sadly, many of my top coaches/scouts have been poached over the summer so I am on the lookout for new staff. When I go to the staff search screen and filter by job type and then set a couple of parameters regarding staff attributes it barely comes back with any results whatsoever. At the start of the first season, if I searched on the staff search screen for scouts with judging player ability/potential as a minimum of 15 I would get loads of hits, now I have had to notch it down to 14/13 and I got 1 match. This is also true for searching for any job type. I also searched for a coach with attacking 15 and technique 12 and I got no matches again. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Just as an FYI I am managing Birmingham City, still in the championship so despite having the option selected to exclude unrealistic targets, I would expect waaaay more matches than I am getting. Any help would be much appreciated.

I play commentary only (due to time constraints) and honestly it makes the game far more enjoyable and less frustrating. I know it wont be everyone's cup of tea as it is harder to keep tabs on how your tactic is actually performing in a match, but I find it find, and from the sounds of the match engine doesn't seem like I am missing much!
-
Not exactly answering your point as I play commentary only, but sometimes it just doesn't come up in the text that a team has scored, I only realise when I look at the specific scoreboard on my screen. Infuriating at times as you think you are winning or holding a team to a draw, go to make a change and you clock that you are actually losing. Luckily I am pretty switched on to it now but it can be a bit annoying!

Issues with Recruitment Focus
Jonthedon26 replied to ItsAMeYaaaa's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I think you are spot on, much like the squad planner...a good idea but poorly executed thus far. -
OK... So it Appears I Blew this One
Jonthedon26 replied to psucolonel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Awesome thank you really appreciate it! The game rules I am okay with, it is all the contract stuff and roster movements etc that blow my mind haha. When I next fire it up I will be sure to message, thank again.
