16932 Please contact the league with our side of the story.
16933 "The PR Department sends the letter challenging the assertions made by the news outlet; since there is only anecdotal evidence, the league would be presumptuous to take action against the team.
Job Security: {3}"
16934 I’ll talk to {26}; you must contact the league with a rebuttal.
16935 "You meet with t{26} and explain that inappropriate behaviour will be noticed by the league, but that as your record with the press will show you share his distaste for the media.

16940 {26} hairstyle causing headlines
16941 "Extract from an email from your Assistant: ""{26} has been sporting a rather flamboyant hairstyle, and this has angered some of the veterans on the team, as well as football purists associated with the club. How should we handle this?"""
16942 I’ll get a similar cut to make these dinosaurs lighten up!
16943 "You attempt to pull off the hairstyle worn by {26}, but fail miserably; the resulting look is more freakish than funny. Ownership is starting to question your judgment as you have made yourself a laughing stock.

16950 Subs are getting restless.
16951 "Assistant: ""Superb win. Everyone played an excellent game. You need to start making some decisions about the subs and reserves, though, since a few of them have begun expressing concerns about their place on the team."""
16952 We should concentrate more on the reserves in the forthcoming training for the week so as to bring them up to the same level.
16953 "The reserves are happy to be more closely integrated with the rest of the team during training, and are responding well to the increased intensity of their workouts.
Sub Morale: {3}"
16954 We cannot waste time pandering towards players who are just not at the required standard, if they want to play they need to improve and show it during training
16955 "The reserves couldn't be more let down by this statement. While most are happy to provide support when needed, your remarks are far from inspiring as many of the reserves feel that they are the equal of players on the starting 11.
Reserve Morale: {6}"
16956 Very well, let's give our reserves some more pitch time while our starting 11 take some well deserved rest.
16957 "Some of your starting 11 condition themselves with light training, others take the day off. A few of them decide to give the reserves some training tips, and this gives a boost to the reserve's enthusiasm for the game!

16960 Post-match photo opportunity?
16961 As your team is heading for their bus, they are confronted by some local youths who want to have a quick kick-around with some of the {14} lads.
16962 Offer the kids some autographed portraits of the players as you can’t risk your players hurting themselves.

16964 Tell a few of your players to partake: The press are everywhere, and this could be a good publicity move.
16965 "The press are indeed everywhere, and one of them snaps a good picture of one of your stars taking a bad fall. Pictures of exhaustion show up all over the papers! The fan reaction however is supportive as they see the way that the players have ignored their own exhaustion to be with their fans

16970 Bad newspaper article.

16980 Managerial style
16981 Your players have become increasingly vocal and unhappy about your confusing managerial tactics, {12}. Wouldn't it be so much easier to just remove one manager, rather than replace an entire squad of players?
16982 Some players are refusing to buy into my system. Once they do, they will notice the wins will start to pile up.
16983 "Your players realize that they should put more effort into adopting your game plan.

team Morale: {4}"
16984 My tactics are sound. The players are just failing to execute what is asked of them. As professionals, this is inexcusable.
