Can you manage a national side and resign from your club committment? And if you can do you get job offers from clubs a la Eriksson?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Personally if I got the chance to manage a country, it would come down to a Club v Country decision. I couldn't be both with a clear conscience.



The majority of the time I set my nationality to the league in which I am playing, but in my present game I made an exception as I had the idea of managing the Australian side at some stage in the future. Now if only I had added the league to the game.

I've always played my games as an island hopping manager, jumping from club to club trying to rise to the top but this has changed with CM0304. Being an upside-down nationality has slowed the number of clubs approaching me, but since last season I have knocked back four offers, after only getting one in the previous seven or so seasons.

It is natural to get more offers as your reputation grows, but getting offers from other higher division clubs while still in your first season is just plain stupid. I just don't know which of these offers is "legitimate", and so far none of them have been IMHO.

What an unpatriotic bunch of poofs!

I couldn't bear to see my name going down as "Ian J Ferguson - English".

It'd break my heart.

The one and only time I have used my real name is in my present game...I always find an exotic foreign name which is in line with the country I am in. Find a side, pick the goalie's first name, find another side, pick the goalies second name is way I have created my managerial name since CM99/00 days.

I'll stick with "Ian J Ferguson - Scottish", thank you very much

I changed my nationality to English and forgot to change it back

mugsy

I am like Taips, I become O'Mugsy when in Ireland, become Mugsio if I am managing in Italy or a Mugsvic if I am managing in eastern Europe.

As CM doesn't give the Catalan as an option for nationality, I swap mine to that of the country where I'm managing...

Perhaps I should try to put myself an Andorran sometime and have fun ... But that nationality might not be available in 03/04 (haven't checked)

Come on, you could do better than that

jraldous

Like mugsy I just cleverly change my name to sound like one of the locals. Jonaldinho is quite the big hit in Brazil

Jan van Alderhoven was my name in Belgium

Always use my name, always keep my nationality. I have only once ever managed outside Europe, so not run into any problems.

You lot will be telling us next that you change your birthday so that your age is right for the game
