the last version of FM had something pretty interesting. So you are hired as the Manager of the club. You control everything. Or you can hire a Director of Football and then have that person deal with contracts, transactions. You can hire a Director of Youth Football who is in charge of dealing with youngsters. You can hire a Reserves Manager who runs that side of the club.

If OOTP could at some point have that.....

I am the GM. I hire a field manager, that removes those responsibilites from my to do list. I can hire the minor league staffs. I can hire a minor league dev guy to run the minors for me, things like that. VP or marketing or what have you. So there is a difference from being say, the GM, or I could act like the team President, and be in charge but with people under me. and that would also give me access to things like the stadium and what ever.


Another thing I would love is a re-working of the staff. I think there should be 1st and 3rd base coaches. If nothing more than because that is where guys are who end up being managers, or where ex-managers go after getting fired.

Also, the ability to go to a another club and hire away their staff. With limitations of course. I should be able to go to another club and offer their staff members a promotion, so say, I can hire their 3rd base coach or pitching coach to be my manager, or even their AAA manager to be my big club manager.

Right now I see good personnel that are locked away in the minor leagues because they were hired for an open position and now must serve out their contract, and they dont seem to exhibit proper logic to say...only take the job for a 1 or 2 year contract, and say...refuse to sign an extension so they can seek out a job on the big club.

There needs to be a way for personnel to be able to move up, and I think being able for other teams to hire guys off of other club's, as long as the guy is getting promoted, would be a good thing. Could even be made more restrictive in that I can only hire a guy who works for a minor league club if I am offering him a job on the big club, so I couldnt for example hire a A manager to be my AA manager, only hire him to be my Major League manager. But allow anyone who is not the manager, but works for the big league club to be hired away to be a big league manager.
