      <title>Managerial Contracts - Results</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last week we polled the visibility for the returning Managerial Contracts for Season 16, 17, 18 with the initial first season trial starting in Season 16 for Division 1 managers &amp;amp; reappointed or newly appointed managers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We hope that with a successful first season in Season 15 for the &#39;Contracts&#39; we can install a fair system across the board in Top 100, encouraging competitive but fair challenge to all clubs across the game world, ensuring that clubs can be attended to fittingly, dependant on the clubs needs. This may of course mean some contracts pushing elite, higher rated teams for trophies &amp;amp; high finishes within their divisions, although likely more so within the upper echelons of Division 1. This may mean contracts to enforce a building period for lower end Division 5 clubs that require time &amp;amp; attention to see them improve in the long term, but slowly encourage a sign of progression over seasons. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We aim to ensure that with this system, where some managers may believe they&#39;re building for the long term improvement of their side, the contract system may limit a period whereby failure to show a little improvement may eventually be judged by the secret panel for whether the long term build is heading in the right direction or simply stumbling along inefficiently. Of course, it&#39;s unlikely that all 100 teams can be heading in a positive trajectory at all times however we hope that the Contracts system enables a care &amp;amp; attention to be paid to all clubs so as to ensure no clubs fall away into insurmountable positions for returning to a competitive level. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The results of the polls can be found below;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;!-- /wp:image --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A positive return of 79% of the game world voting over the 10 day voting period, a good turn out for the poll. The results, an 11 vote margin for having Contracts hidden to the public/general population, a near 14% difference. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;

&lt;!-- /wp:image --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An overall vote of 32 totalling for the Contracts being made public here, a 2 vote difference from the 34 that voted for the option of Public versus Hidden in the first poll. In regards to the more Hidden options but potentially being made visible, a split between being made public when a stipulation has not been achieved &amp;amp; being kept totally secret, with the latter being the slight winner between the two.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results Summary&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We, the admin team, therefore in support of the poll, will keep Contracts hidden. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We, the admin team, will herein only make stipulations where failed, known to the secret panel where required for voting on a managers future; Reappointment &amp;amp; new contract or Sacked upon failure of contract. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to all the managers whom voted in the polls for Contracts, we hope they will see a positive implementation in Top 100 &amp;amp; value within the community, good luck to all Top 100 managers in Season 16 whom are part of the first initial season trial. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Managerial Contracts</title>
      <link>https://smtop100.blog/2021/09/03/managerial-contracts/</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 03 Sep 2021 17:00:47 +0100</pubDate>
      
      <guid>http://smtop100.micro.blog/2021/09/03/managerial-contracts/</guid>
      <description>&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Season 16 &amp;amp; onwards in theory, we are introducing the concept of contracts in Top 100. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A contract is an agreed stipulation(s) for which managers must target particular finishes in competitions in the game world, otherwise they will face a final secret panel vote upon whether or not they should continue in their managerial role at their current club or not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These contracts are agreed by both admin &amp;amp; the manager themselves with a loose suggestion based upon statistics collected from within the game world regarding the strength of squad, starting 11 &amp;amp; therein a rough objective view. Of course, further more subjective views are additionally taken into account for a longer term prospect within a club or its requirement of transition. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The idea of contracts is to encourage top division clubs to push for success rather than sit on laurels or previous achievement, consistently ensuring that new heights are pursued by clubs &amp;amp; managers alike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the outcome of a success for contracts, further contracts may be explored within Top 100 as within Season 16, contracts are only assigned to Division 1, re-appointed or newly appointed managers, roughly 33% of the game world. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At this moment in time, these contracts, negotiated by manager &amp;amp; admins are known only by those parties. We are however herein exploring whether or not the contracts assigned within the game world are to remain hidden as currently done so or made public to the viewing of all of Top 100 &amp;amp; Top 120 here on the blog. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please before voting consider; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:list --&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Managers have negotiated contracts so in to encourage an increasing competitiveness in the game world for the better of the game world.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All contracts are negotiated so as to ensure all parties are happy, we do not want to discourage or dissuade managers from competing/managing in Top 100.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Whilst not all managers have contracts currently, in the future, all might. Think if you would be happy to have your stipulations made public or known only by yourself, admin &amp;amp; if required, the secret panel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:list --&gt;
&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please once again ensure you have read above prior to voting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;

      <title>Poll: Dealing With Manager Inactivity - Introducing Contracts</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Should we ask managers to commit to achieving certain targets before giving them a new job, and give then a contract from, say, 1 - 6 seasons in length depending on what kind of job it is?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If a manager failed to achieve agreed targets he could then be asked to quit his job. Failure to do so could ultimately end his Top 100 career.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a name=&#34;more&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;[polldaddy poll=10247311]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://polldaddy.com/poll/10247311/&#34;&gt;Should we introduce contracts for managers when they take on new jobs?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font:9px&#34;&gt;(&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.polldaddy.com&#34;&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
