Default Staff poaching: Does this make sense at all?

My ass-man was approached by a lower ranking club. I was pleased with his performance and he seemed happy enough 2 years into a 4-yr contract (€12,500/month) so in an attempt to hang on to him I tried offering a new deal. He wanted €90K/month, 3 times my salary! I offered to double his current deal: 4 years at €25K/m.

He REFUSES, claiming the deal is financially unacceptable! Apparently he prefers a 4-yr coach job at the lower raking club at the less-than-impressive tune of €11,250/m.

Who would accept a deal like that?

Maybe he's embarrassed by your posts on the SI Forums.

Yeah, it's something in the game that annoys me too. Players do it all the time as well

Errr, well, I cannot actually claim residency as it's just a homage to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

But, yeah, I would really like to see SI infuse some more artificial intelligence into the FM universe, as the above-mentioned example clearly demonstrates a deficiency.

Staff contracts are an issue that really needs looking into.

Far too often staff will as you describe take lower paid jobs & I've never seen one of my backroom staff turn down an offer from another club yet when I'm looking to fill a particular vacancy I definately don't have a 100% success rate.
