Default Unsackable option.

Would like to see this added to be honest. It´s only a game, and after years of building a team it can be really frustrating to be sacked for what feels is little reason. Just an idea, maybe it would ruin the realism for some, but I think it would be a nice option to have. Tick a box at the opening screen or something.

don't suppose it would do any harm, doubt many players would use it though

I think getting sacked is part of the game and needs to stay, but perhaps at times the game needs to be a bit more intelligent when it sacks managers.

It should have this option. I only like to manager the team I support. If I get sacked I need to restart a new game, I'm not interested in any other side.

i think it's a good idea.If you can turn it on/off in the middle of a game though would be better.So you won't have to start a new game if you feel you want to be able to get sacked when you reach 2015 or something.

But the bugs need sorting quick before anything like this is even considered.

I can see why I or anyone would want to toggle an invincible option, where your un-sackable.

But where's the challenge or the risk involved. I would understand if there was a scenario such as a board take over they brought in say Jose Mourinho to replace you, with the game explaining this to you. Then that would make sense if you started the game as an unknown/inexperienced manager.

But some would use it I would presume. But there would be no pressure and no sense of achievement as the board/chairman/fans wouldn't sack you :thdn: .

I'd like to see an option in contracts whereby if you get offered a new contract or new club, you can negotiate an 'unsackable for 1-2 seasons' clause

And how would a 'disable manager sackings' option make them any less "a part of the game"?

Who says the proponents to this option want a challenge, risk, pressure, or sense of achievement more than they want a fun time playing their team of choice?

I'm just against on the principal that it makes the game unrealistic, not because it's a ppor idea but however you look at it it's basically a cheat like entering a code on certain games that makes you invincible for example. Where's the fun in completing something knowing you can't lose?

It's all ready in FM on the PSP, I don't see the harm in porting it to the PC version.
