What Vlad said!

I have persuaded someone to come out of retirement.

And had a ban overturned.

I guess I'm just persuasive....

I've stopped someone retiring too.

retired_davek

I've asked people to reconsider, but they've all shunned my approaches. Guess the lure of the golf course is too strong.

I never appeal red cards: the FA are never wrong, after all

Yeah to both (with Workington that was).

Has someone managed to persuade a club legend to become his assistant?

KingsbayYHPE

Never have, Jordi.

One of the coaches, but not assistant.

Many times on a scandanavian LLM. Quite scary/satisfying when a former legend is quoted as a favourite to replace you.

Only once in a CM4 or later game have I managed that club legend to backroom staff transition.

I've had quite a few red cards overturned but I'm a persistant bugger and appeal a lot of them. You can usually tell which ones will get overturned if you look hard enough.

I've never managed the retirement thing. However, the media have mocked me mercilessly many times for being desparate for a player to continue his career.

No, no and almost, I think. It's early

Never been able to talk someone out of retiring. Not had much reason to, if I'm honest. The one club legend I had was well past it before he decided to retire, so much so that I'd already got him onto the coaching staff and out of the team before he officially hung up the boots (there's my almost - like Michal he became a coach, not AssMan).

I've never had a red card appeal be successful either. Pretty much every red card I get is for a professional foul on a "clear" striker and has no ambiguity. Although last night when my main SC manages to track back 70 yards and get sent off for a professional foul I was hopeful for a first appeal success, the FA turned the appeal down flat.

It still annoys hell out me that my team always see red for such instances, but my opponents, 90% of the time, see only yellow for the same offence. [/rant]
