Default Player / Coach Idea

Please feel free to shoot me down in flames if people think this is a bad idea or if it can't be done.

I would like to see an option whereby you can tell a player/coach that you would like them to revert to playing duties only without having to offer them a new contract to do so. On top of this, maybe random events whereby the player decides he does not want to be a coach and would prefer to 'concentrate on his playing duties' would be a nice feature.

A prime example of this in the real world that I can think of that is fairly recent is Gary Speed reverting from his player/coach role at Bolton to purely a player.

It just seems a bit silly that you have to go through the whole contract process to do this at the moment. Does anyone agree? Sorry if this idea has been repeated before but I am fairly new to these forums.

yeah but a contract is a legally binding document so not re-negotiating it would open you to all kinds of lawsuits etc. i think speed's situation wasnt really all his own choice

I see your point but what happens if you offer a contract to the player and he decides he doesn't want a new contract? Surely you should have the option of saying 'I don't want this player to be coaching too'

Agreed, who cares about something like RL legal issues? A contract isn't legally binding if it's on a football sim (for one thing there can be no signature on a PC game)

Sheff, surely it's good if he's coaching too? Less wages to pay.
