Might have a look at that myself.

I sign all my coaches as coaches, so they can do youth and senior. Good or bad idea?

I haven't read any guides, but...

I generally sign my coaches to work with first team and the youth and maybe have one youth team specialist.

I will have my assistant manager dabble in training.

Two fitness trainers (one for each type).

Then I have one trainer for each skill that needs training.

They can be 100% devoted to the skills that they're good at, and you don't have a superb attacking coach wasting time on set pieces or fitness.

I don't often have a youth coach, infact 9 times out of 10 I'll find that my main squad coaches can be good enough to coach both squads.

If your a lower league side, having a youth coach may actually be harmful to your normal first team training, simply because the number of coaches you're allowed to have is severely limited.
 
Just won World Cup with England :)

Think I'll resign from that job now whilst I'm on a high. Never lost a game in my two years in charge of them, not bad! If they're struggling in a few seasons I can always go back :D

Congrats. Thats a pretty good feat, admittedly you are quite far into the game, but even so, well done.

Out of interest, whats the current locations of all the big teams in the game now? Surely some must be in the lower divisions of English football by now?

I am always interested in knowing how the game AI favours teams in other peoples games.

All the big teams have had seasons where they haven't achieved bar Liverpool, who are just rampant. Man United and Chelsea are mid table teams. United have been for a few years, Chelsea only last season.

frigging VdV is a baby! every few months i have to give him a new contract!! he signs the 5b year deal and bags 2mil sign on!!

Offer him a larger contract, if he's on say £50,000 a week and moans he wants £60,000 then moans he wants £70,000 and keeps grabbing £2,000,000 in signing on fees... Simply offer him £100,000 a week, make him sign and if he still wants a new improved contract then tell him to get stuffed.

If he whines after you've said no, then look at getting rid of him. You could probably find very similar talent easily (depending on how far into the game you are).

This is what I thought when I saw Jimlad's first post. VdV is being silly and immature. His behaviour could annoy the rest of the team or at least upset the squad togetherness. Sell him and get a replacement.
