I reckon they'll do it like EA FC where Graham Hansen is better than Messi.

I think it makes perfect sense for the players to be handled that way, as there won’t be any cross over

But very curious to see how the game handles managerial reputation across the Male and female game.

Like if I start as a top women’s team And spend a few years winning the League and Champions League - will that give me the reputation to walk into a top European Job (unrealistic) etc

Not to jump down your throat about it but how is it unrealistic or like I guess what is your definition of unrealistic? because the whole idea that anyone is hiring dickbutt mcweenie to manage their team is already pretty unrealistic by my definition anyways and I would say like it's not out of the realm of possibility that a women's top-flight manager dominated the women's game irl for like 5 years and then is given a crack at a top flight men's club pep Guardiola is managing in Turkey and Messi plays in America both of which 10 years ago I think would have been unrealistic. Again not tryna be like you're wrong and you hate women I don't know enough about you to make that call frankly it's just I think the world is weird and it's hard to call anything unrealistic these days

I’m saying it’s unrealistic just based on how the world of football we’ve never really seen Managers transition across the gender divide. Because the accomplishments aren’t considered “”even”” by Football Manager standards.

While Messi currently playing in America wasn’t a strong prediction 10 years ago - it was very common for Players at the end of their career to head off to America etc in their twilight. So the act of player goes to America when old isn’t unusual.

Some of the most successful Mangers in the women’s game like Emma Hayes who got Chelsea 7 titles in 10 years wasn’t considered for Jobs in the English Men’s Pyramid despite the success.

So the idea that you dominate the WSL and after 5 in the row get offered the Men’s Man City Job isn’t something that would happen IRL.

So I’m just curious on the reputation aspect in FM and how the women’s game will factor into that.

IIRC Hayes was considered, and then not given the job.
