I've always wondered how these work, what do you do if the next job in the list isn't available? Do you just have to wait for it to become available?

retired_stesska

Didn't he only ever play in the lower leagues?

Didn't he only ever play in the lower leagues? </BLOCKQUOTE>
that doesnt mean that he wasnt a professional footballer though

retired_shaneltolbert

Sounds good :thup:

If the next job isn't available then can you be the manager of any other club?

SILLiiE XD

you can stay on at the club until the next club becomes available or go unemployed and wait for the next club to be available that way,
u can't go to another team as sven only went to the teams above and u must also too.
ONLY if u get sacked u can become another team in the lower division and then try and get ur job back at the club again
