New Improvements/Features: Job Offers

June 12th, 2008 by SM Dev (ste)

Sometimes it is nice to be rewarded as a manager of a club in the lower divisions, and one such reward which is now in place is ‘Job Offers’.

As soon as a manager resigns from a club the clubs chairman will look at current managers within the setup to try and find a suitable replacement. However, the chairman will only look for managers within the setup at clubs who he believes are likely to become the new manager. For example, the chairman of Blackpool will not approach the current manager of Everton, and is more likely to approach the manager of Halifax Town.

Once the clubs chairman has made a short-list of suitable candidates (which will not be displayed) they will then see which of those managers have managed a club within the setup for more than five turns, and then remove those managers who do not meet that crietria from their list. The chairman will then use this information along with the short-listed managers manager history points to select one suitable candidate (which in essence is usually the most successful manager within the setup) for the vacant position within their club.

The suitable candidate will then be offered the job vacancy at the club in question, and this job offer will be displayed within the approached managers ‘Club Message’ inbox. The approached manager will then have the opportunity to either accept or reject the approach, and they will have 48 hours from when they received the job offer to make a decision.

When a job offer comes into your ‘Club Message’ inbox you will have 48 hours from when you received the job offer to make a decision, to help you in your decision the chairman will inform you how much you will have available to spend.

If you accept the job offer you will automatically become their new manager straight away, and all of your manager points will remain with your account as well. Please note that if you accept that job offer then your previous job may be offered to another manager within your setup which would mean that you would not be able to take over your old club straight away.

If you reject the job offer you will receive a new message in you ‘Club Message’ inbox informing you that you have rejected their approach. However, if you fail to respond to the job offer within the required 48 hours then the job offer will be rescinded, and the vacancy will be open to all managers on the site.

Please note that the decision to either accpet or reject the job offer is entirely your own choice, and if you make the wrong decision then there is nothing which the SMFA can do to assist you.

During the period (which could be upto 48 hours) of a club becoming unmanaged and their chairman making a job offer, the clubs chairman will not deal in the transfer market (buying or selling), and also block other managers applying to take control whilst the job offer is being considered. However, once the manager has either accepted or rejected (and 48 hours have passed) the job offer, the clubs chairman will then allow deal in the transfer market (buying or selling).

Please Note: You must have a manager reputation of 40+ to receive a ‘Job Offer’, and be participating within a Standard Setup.
