You know? in FM it’s very difficult to sign non-EU players. Transfers are always canceled by a work permit. And for the clubs in the lower leagues it’s impossible to do. Yet in reality there are many non-EU players in lower leagues.
My question is: Why hire non-EU players is very difficult in the FM? and actually what is the criteria allowed by FM for non-EU players to play in England?
Hopefully, FM 2011 has an easier work permit.

@Java
Actually FM reflects the real situation pretty well, it’s very hard for non-EU players to get work permits in real life too. There are a few non-EU players in the lower leagues, that’s true, but if you check many of them also hold EU passports that allow them to play without requiring a work permit. Here is a pretty good answer I found somewhere on the web:
Premier League clubs have almost complete freedom to sign whatever number and category of players they wish. There is no team or individual salary cap, no squad size limit, no age restrictions other than those applied by general employment law, no restrictions on the overall number of foreign players, and few restrictions on individual foreign players — all players with EU nationality, including those able to claim an EU passport through a parent or grandparent, are eligible to play, and top players from outside the EU are able to obtain UK work permits. The only area where the Premier League’s player registration rules are more restrictive than those of some other football leagues, such as those of those of Belgium and Portugal, is that academy level non-EU players have little access to English football by law. Also, clubs competing in the Champions League or UEFA Cup must comply with UEFA’s player-eligibility rules for those competitions.
In response to concerns that clubs were increasingly passing over young British players in favour of signing less-expensive foreign players, in 1999, the Home Office tightened its rules for granting work permits to players from countries outside of the European Union.Currently a non-EU player applying for the permit must have played for his country in at least 75% of its competitive ‘A’ team matches for which he was available for selection during the previous two years, and his country must have averaged at least 70th place in the official FIFA world rankings over the previous two years. If a player does not meet those criteria, the club wishing to sign him may appeal if they believe that he is a special talent and «able to contribute significantly to the development of the game at the top level in the UK.»

Okay, thanks for the explanation, it’s quite long. :D So, only a super-talented players from outside EU can play in UK?. I must be more selective then.

How much improvement has went into the new game for the 3D match engine, will it look more realistic?

Hi Johnny, I have no question for Miles. I’m quite happy with Football Manager as it’s by far the best managing gameing experience available. However, I just set up a new email so how do I unsuscribe to your posts on my old email address as I’ve allready suscribed to your posts on my new one. Thanks.

I think there is a link to unsubscribe in every email that you receive. If not please send me an email with the address that you want to deactivate and I will do that for you.

One more question…
whether there will be improvement in the national teams in FM 2011? I mean, like Germany and Japan will have real players who play for the country. National teams of Germany and Japan do not contain their star players, but contains the players that are not real.
When all was resolved FM 2011 would be much more interesting.

one question which is the same as Java question, will they be real players in the Germany and japan team as i hope SI will resolve the licensing issues for this teams and other teams that have the same problems.

Will Leigh Griffiths of Dundee become Left Footed because he is in real life and it is pretty annoying that it is not represented as that. Also will there be any changes to the press conferences because I find them rather stale after a while and send my assistant afterwords.

Will the transfer rumours section be improved on as it always selects players i haven’t shown an interest in or even scouted ?

I would like to know what role if any agents will play the new version. I suppose you wouldnt be able to straight swap a player because of agents fees but i wonder what other impact they will have,
Also wondering if there will be any changes on managers wages, im on £300,000 a week at barcelona and can do absolutely nothing with it. I’d like to be able to buy shares or invest in the club or something like that. probably too complicated though, just a thought. :-)

Thanks to all of those who have submitted questions so far. Just a slight warning though, Miles will probably choose not to reveal too much about FM 2011 because it hasn’t been officially announced yet. So it would be great to add other types of questions too.

With so many players on FM how do you find the time to watch each of them and gain accurate attributes on each player because you would need to employ thousands (possibly tens of thousands) to effectively do this surely!?! :)
Sears

My question for Miles:
What’s your opinion about ‘My Football Manager Story’ blog ( your blog Johnny :-D ) and it’s influence on the Football Manager community?
Sorry, that my question hasn’t anything to do with the game, but his opinion would be nice to hear :-)
Johnny Karp
1 августа, 2010 at 21:55
@Sears
That’s a good question actually, thanks! :)
@Matthew
Thanks for the question, you will be surprised to find out how many people are involved in the research for the game, people from all over the world ;)
Sears

No problem Johnny :-D It’s surly different to the others :-)

Sorry two questions there :)
Johnny Karp
2 августа, 2010 at 21:22
Thanks Lye, you can submit as many questions as you want but I will have to choose since I won’t be able to keep Miles all day long answering :)

Hi Johnny, I don’t have any questions, but it will be interesting to see what Miles says. Great that you’re having another contest too, that should be good :)

How do you want to make the game much more realistic?

My question is more Argentinian football orientated:
Will at some point included in FM situations like fans throwing a stone to the referee, managers threatened by hooligans, bribes to refeeres, positive doping, players that divide a team because of a girlfriend and all that kind of stuff that happens in real football?
Johnny Karp
2 августа, 2010 at 21:24
Thanks for the question Mariano.

Some of the criticisms aimed at Football Manager has been around the limited number of features, such as little or no communication between fans, and players such as informing them that you expect to finish mid table etc, is this area of football manager being improved? And second question is, are their plans involved towards improving the static league reputation issue.

Hi johnny,do you recommend any defenders for Bristol Rovers? We have got a not so good transfer budget so players over the value of 100k wont work in are system.
Johnny Karp
24 августа, 2010 at 18:02
Sorry Hils, I can’t think of any names right now.

@Hils,
Look at loan players.
hils
24 августа, 2010 at 19:14
im starting to look in to players from top 4 reserve teams. thanks for the advice.
Sears
24 августа, 2010 at 19:19
@Hils,
I take it you must have a few scouts at your club right? Send them to the u18’s and reserves league as you may be able to pick up a few decent players from there
hils
24 августа, 2010 at 21:29
i do have some scouts at the club who are looking for players between 24-28
Sears
24 августа, 2010 at 21:41
@Hilss,
that’s good. I tend to send my scouts to different countries to look at players between the age of 15-21. How are you doin in ur Bristol game?
hils
25 августа, 2010 at 08:10
we are doing ok in are pre-season fixtures but i think we are suffering with are slim transfer budget and low amount of players.
