I remember reading in 07 that managers with long careers and many promotions were still sacked if they were relegated after taking a ECS/BSS or ECN/BSN team to the championship.

There were some desperate pleas that long-term success at a club would receive a more forgiving board in 08 so as to reflect real-life more accurately.

Anyone play long enough yet to test this part of the game?

My favorite bit of FM is when your under pressure to win games

I have been in alot of relegation fights and i usally survive until i do get Relegated or survive the drop

Sorry for the bad communication.

I mean to ask, after your team is relegated, does the board still keep you on as manager?

I was staines and took em all the way to the championship. i finished 18th and the board requested me to stay up , as they have every season. Unfortunately they sacked me. i am deeply sadened by staines and have sent a letter to the real football club to see if they would really do this to there manager. i got them 40000 seater stadium, uefa cup football afetr getting to the final of the FA cup and what thansk do it get, a trip to the job centre. guted!!!

I got Vaduz promoted to the top Swiss league, where I managed to set the record currently held in the records thread for most games lost in a row on my way to a quick relegation. The board recognised that I was hopelessly out of my depth though (only part time club in a fully pro league) and were still very pleased with the amount of fight that I put up.

I'm glad they were happy for the fight you put into it.

Were you still their manager after being relegated?

I've survived the drop with Mantova, after being relegated in my first season in the Serie A. But then the target was "Fight bravely against relegation" which I did, going down by 2 points.

I got sacked when I didn't win promotion the next season though

Yup, am about to lead them back up to the promised land again. Unfortunately a single dodgy loss ruined my attempt at holding the most games won and lost in a row records, only managed 12

I survived with Wolves;

was promoted in the first season...

...and back down again

but I had a respectable cup run :p

I'm managing Stamford in the Dafuge challenge, and and after 4 seasons got them promoted to the Blue Square Premier. Survived the first season in that division, and then my aims for the second seaon was to consolidate my league position.

I got relegate that season, and still got offered a new contract. Possibly because I had apparently met the long term goal of survival in the first season up.

I am now in the 2022/23 season and still in charge, having survived 1 relegation. Fear my new season will be a relegation battle though.
