that's a very good point. but in the world or paranoid football managers world, you don't want to hear that your future is being considered.


the words you want to hear it 'considering re-newing your contract'. if he gets fired, then its a bug and SI still sucks. if he gets a new contract then this is just lack of clarity on SI's behalf.

I guess that's fair, Jimbokav.

Yes, the 'new contract offer' process was brought forward from 1 month before expiry to 2 months before expiry as part of the patch. I think it should be something more like:

<LI> 12 months: Offer new long-term contract for exemplary long-term performance, e.g., multiple titles, promotion beyond the board's original objectives. (eshaan's case, after 3rd season).
<LI> 6 months: Offer new mid- to long-term contract for strong long-term performance and exceeding expectations midway through this year.
<LI> 2 months: Offer new long-term deal for dramatically exceeding expectations in first season with club. (eshaan's case, after first season). Offer new mid-term contract for exceeding expectations somewhat. Offer new fairly short-term contract for meeting expectations consistently over several seasons.
<LI> Last chance consideration: Offer new one-year contract after final match of season, but before the off-season transfer window begins. This would be for the manager who, by meeting expectations this season, avoids the sack. Might also have a 'long-term-deal' award here for the first-season manager who 'pulls out' a dramatic exceeds-expectations in the final months of the season, e.g., eshaan's first season - the board couldn't know he was going to win the CL and FA Cup at the 2-month window, and he might have been in a dog-fight for the EPL, so they may have skipped the new contract then.
