I've played 3 seasons with Farsley Celtic and managed 2 promotions, and am currently sitting 7th in League 2. I've applied for a few jobs at struggling League 1 clubs and failed to get any of them, saying that I stand no chance of getting the job.

Can someone explain how I stand no chance of getting the job??

I also applied for a few League 2 jobs whilst in Conference, to no avail.

I've never been contacted about a job available either.

It used to be much easier and a much more enjoyable game.

This depends upon your in game reputation.

When you started the game I expected your reputation defaulted to the low automatic.

This is reasonable if you want realism, if you want aid your in game reputation at the start (rather than from your in-game achievements) the start a new game and select a higher reputation :thup:

Because you've never managed in League One? Never won anything significant? Still would not even be known to other clubs in your division at the moment?

It is like saying Peter Taylor, who managed two successive promotions with Hull (League Two to the Championship) should be getting offers from Premiership clubs left and right. He never did, and he was also manager of the England U21s FFS!

This is besides the fact that i've seen loads of people post the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you're moaning about; it seems that it is actually too easy to get bigger jobs in the game.

That has also been my experience. I won promotion in South Africa, then won promotion again in Iceland, and my name was in the mix for the Wigan job! I was also offered the job flat out for a Chinese top flight team.

P.S.: Peter Taylor manages Stevenage now

That's where two successive promotions gets you

He managed Leicester in the top flight

So the only chance I have of getting a new job is by taking Farsley Celtic to the Premiership.

The game is hard enough at it is now :eek:

I think the best way to do it is to have good cup runs and over achieve! The offers will come I think you just need a little patience

He managed Leicester in the top flight </BLOCKQUOTE>

...before the sucessive promotions, which is the parallel i'm making.

Even then...managing Leicester hasn't earned him a Premier League job at present either!

Or even just keep them in League 2.

Your reputation grows according to the reputations of the teams you've beaten, if what I've read is correct. So a promotion season in Blue Square North did very little for you, and even after promotion from National you're still very lowly regarded. You need to spend more time beating League-quality clubs - for example, by next season, if you're still 7th in League 2, your reputation should be higher than it is now.
