Not Frustrated at all topic. Season 9-99 (9164)
I believe the rule is the facilities only get downgraded if the leaving manager has been there for a whole season, 52 days.
@Pii
Must admit I've never carefully checked the detail on this. I'd always noticed that when managers leave they usually lose both facilities and popularity or neither and this is confirmed by these two posts from Vincent on the same day.

- The buildings were already downgraded a maximum of one time per season so I've added the same check to the popularity. The penalty now only applies if the manager that leaves was at least a full season at the club.
- The popularity penalty when a manger leaves a club is now only applied if the leaving manager was at the club for at least 52 days.
He's added the 'same check to the popularity' and then says the manager has to stay for a full season of at least 52 days. So I would infer that the 'same check' means this also applies to the facility downgrades.
But if I understand you correctly it seems that on some occasions there is a facility downgrade with no loss of popularity. Perhaps Vincent's posts are just badly worded and it's 52 days for popularity but one downgrade per season for the facilities. This would seem similar but are actually different rules.
It's the first scenario that applies. If the manager stays for at least 52 days or more and leaves, the club gets downgrades facilities and popularity wise.
Within this time frame (after being downgraded) a new manager comes on for say 10 days a leaves, it would only apply if it's a new season. If it's same season, the club stay same way it was when it lost its previous manager.
0like the case if this club. Lost so many managers within the same season. But the facilities are still same when it lost the first manager (the one that resigned on 18th march 2022)
That means that there are effectively 2 different rules:
1. The facilities get downgraded (one level) a maximum of once per season - so only if it's the first time a manager leaves in the current season. This is irrespective of how long he's been there so the 52 days, or full season, never applies.
2. Popularity only gets lost (1/3 reduction) if the manager stayed for at least 52 days.
So Vincent's first post saying it's the 'same check' is rather misleading.

'Fish in Finland' I see what you did there.
Where next? Watching viruses in Germany or women in Brazil?
Just noticed a player listed on the market with a bot manager and no bids.
Seemed a bit strange so I checked and the previous manager left yesterday shortly after listing him. He's an older player only suitable for staff so thought I will try an underbid and see what the bot does with it.
Anyone know?
Update
So that was an interesting experiment. I made the underbid and there were no other bidders. When the transfer closed I got the normal message but with a difference.
- Bidding for this player has ended.
- All bids are below the asking price. If no higher bid is made, the selling team can decide whether or not to accept the highest bid.
- The team manager has until Today - 18:02 to respond.
The timing for the reply was exactly 5 minutes after the transfer closed instead of the usual 24 hours. There was no reply within 5 minutes and so the bid got automatically declined.
Numpty - why's it strange for a bot team to have a player up for sale?
Because bot teams can't list players without an offer being made by another manager. If the bot accepts the offer then the player gets listed with 1 bid already on the table.
So under normal circumstances all bot players have at least one bid on them and the asking price would be roughly 10% above the market value. This player had no bids and was listed at market value.
Because they always have at least one bid at the asking price then it's impossible to make an underbid on a bot player. This is why I thought I'd experiment and see what happens.
Oh I see....The Help section indicates a bot team can be approached about buying one of their players but I didn't realise this is the only way they can sell players (other than selling straight to the bank).
