Default Starting unemployed creates vacancies?

i've started unemployed in a new game and there were about 10 teams with no manager.does the game when you start unemployed create vacant positions so you can find a team to manage?

NO, sometimes you have to wait up to a season into the game to get a job. Depending on what you've set your past experience to.

That's pretty impressive going.

The quickest I've ever got a job after starting unemployed is just shy of two weeks.

Who you got?

Pierikos,a 2nd division Greek team.newly promoted,fighting to avoid relegation...a low and challenging start.
my manager is Greek and i started the game in Greece,so i thought the vacancy was created by the game on purpose so that i have somewhere to start.but it turns out it was just luck :)
for anyone interested details of this game can be found here:Paschalis Lampridis goes for glory

Well done mate. Ive been well into october before I was offered a job, and I had my experience set to "Professional Footballer"

I jumped at the chance to manage Bury, just to get some action, but I lasted until xmas, when I applied for and got the West Ham job!

Unfortunately, my game crashed in the following march, when it was looking hopeful that a european uefa cup place was possible, and since then I've always started at a club instead.

Automatic - means no footballing exprience whatsoever, you will find hardly any team would want u to join them as a manager if u were unemployed, but its worth a chance. Your status will be Unproven i think.



Current Game:
None until Fm09 comes out

well done.

I set status to unproven in my last current game though and I managed to get a job after a few days too I must admit, but that was a crappy hong kong team.

Isn't the status unproven called "Sunday League Footballer"? Or am I mistaking and is there one below that?

Great job with finding a club so fast mate.

I think so Bozza. Im sure Automatic is Sunday League.

I tried starting with no job and got bored of waiting tbh.

But i always set it to Sunday League make it a bit realistic. . .



Current Game

It Goes:
Automatic - Unproven
Sunday League - Also Unproven
Semi Pro - Regional
Pro - National
International - Continental

In Order (It improves as you get better or stay at a team long or something)
Unproven - Obscure - Local - Regional - National - Continental - World Class

On my Eastleigh game, there are only 10 World Class Manager.

Is is not:
Unproven - Obscure - Local - Regional - National - Continental - World Class - LEGENDARY

I don't know about 08 but in the last FM when I won the world cup with scotland and got Redditch to the prem my status was 'legendary' I think its very rare though.

u'r lucky mate...but i think the game starting without manage any team is kind of not relevant ..then the game will automatically find u a team to manage and offer any vacancy that available..

Truthful,
