Staff member retiring (7)

il Numpty >> saturday january 30 - 00:16

The message that I got seems to be ambiguous. 

Staff member Łukasz Kulczyk will retire next season

  • Your staff member Łukasz Kulczyk will retire at the end of the season. Łukasz Kulczyk is now the head of your Fanshop but will resign this position at the end of the season.

The message subject says 'will retire next season' but the message itself says 'at the end of the season'. 

Which is it? The end of this season or the end of next season? 

If it's the end of this current season, which I suspect it is, then the message subject is incorrect. He retires this season and not next season.

Thank you Davo. I'd actually tried that but couldn't see for looking, lol. :D

That date is in 44 days time, which will be week 48 of this season. 

That means the message is wrong. He retires this season, not next season.

I suppose by week 48 the season is over and we're into the end of season friendlies. Or the pre-season friendlies if you prefer to look at it that way.

I've got two retiring this time round. Both have at least put in a shift and are 62 and 63 respectively. Not like some of the slackers in their fifties :)

I think he had aspirations to become a keeper, but I offered him the job of chief scout and told him he would have a life with lots of international travel. 

His English isn't great to be honest - he think Wikileaks is a plumbing business - and it seems he confused scout with spy, so he got very scared and he's now holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy and refusing to come out. What shall I do?

Just a thought, staff retire somewhere between 55 and 65. 

So what happens if you have one of the very old players who is already over 65? Can you make him a staff member, and if so would he still retire at some point?

Has anyone ever tried this?

Good question! And as for an answer: no idea!
