I wouldn't mind too much if high profile signings is apart of the chairman's philosophy and when you've got no money it's kind of hard to achieve them lol .

 

My chairman wanted me to sign high profile players, without giving me the resources to do so. I'd say I've just started doing it, but it took Champions League football and £25m to spend on players to achieve it.

 

The chairman is Eddy Mitchell - ex Dorchester and Bournemouth who tookover after the Thai's sold up.

I always thought that. It's ridiculous but to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if that's how some owners operate in real life.

 

Same as with Fox92 there lol 9 points from the first 5? What a completely bizarre & in the big picture, utterly meaningless target.

Going to wait for when I get above average job security and then I'll ask if they can remove it. It's kind of difficult getting High Profile players without any money but the fact I'm managing in the Czech Republic is hardly going to help. I thought signing Johnthan Dos Santos would be enough but clearly not

I had a meeting with them and got them to remove it from one of the things I was judged against. Fed up with seeing it a literally 0 on the bar on job security. I get fvck all transfer budged so If i'm signing high profile players i'll only be able to bring in 1 a year which obviously isn't enough.

I've a question. Do they actually do any specific work to helping you meet certain targets? I landed contract talks at Nantes and I told them I wanted to bring players through the youth system, and that it's something I want to be judged on - can I expect them to be swayed more towards helping that happen, or have I just added something onto my contract that will benefit me in absolutely no way?

I have it my contract, keeps them happy , all you have to do is give a teenager his debut and they love it.

 

I recently played two 16 year olds in a cup game when they were nowhere near ready for the first team, they both scored :D

 

And on a completely unrelated note, that game finished 2-2 and went into extra time. I brought on one of my stars late on because of his high penalty taking stat, and he got the winner in the 118th minute by bringing down a long ball in the centre circle and hitting a half volley to lob the keeper. Probably the best goal I've ever scored, and if I wasn't on the train at the time, I would've cheered.

cool!

 

my love for all things jomo has gone within a game, dragged them to another final (super 8) and got thrashed 5-2. useless bastards, wasnt even against the best team in it, beat orlando pirates and supersport utd to get there, get my ass handed to me by a team 2 places below me in the league. im letting my contract run out, ive been stuck in this hole too long and i need to start winning trophys

Yeah, you'll see it with various things. I've had it set to bringing in high profile signings so I think it's helped me get higher transfer budgets when I ask for them and put the reason as that or being left behind our rivals.

Don't think it makes that much of a diff though as I've still managed to get decent work done every year on my youth facilities.

Sounds good to me. I want better youngsters coming through. The ones I got this year could be very decent with a bit of work.

 

Also, something I'd like to see abolished - limiting who can tutor who. Fair enough I don't expect anyone under 25 to be a tutor, but I've got a potentially very decent young centre mid in my academy, yet it won't let me get my midfielder (Salmeen) who's determination is 20 working on him? So annoying as that could set him well on the route to being a regular in my team.

theres 2 sides to it. financial and performance, financially im unsecure about 20% but as far as performance goes im secure, about 75% thats the one I pay attention too.

I really don't understand the Job Status thing.

 

It is extremely difficult to move on from 'stable'. I think I reached 'Secure' for about a month during the summer. 

 

Even when I sign a new long-term contract, the board say that it wouldn't cost much to sack me!

Yeah I find it really confusing, I remember at Kasierslautern they classed my job status as Untouchable but the job status remains low as feck lol

ahh yes, silly me. upon closer inspection it appears I made a mistake. theres always next season mate.

 

:D

 

Nah I think this was a one off. It's so annoying something like this didn't happen when I had my proper Nantes side of 13 with the likes of Mbenyane, Vargas, Buelto and others. That pissed all over the Lorient side that won the league.

 

Be interested to see how Lorient actually do from here. As well as St Etienne, both now have CL money coming in lol

Posted

Who even is that? lol

 

I know it's Turkey but who's the other side? It's got the Russian flag on it but I swear that isn't their badge.

 

EDIT; OK, it is Russia.
