Hi,
I posted in the Help Thread a few days ago but there were no replies.

I'm managing Real Madrid and there's no problem with Squad Harmony or anything but every single time I praise another manager, be it anyone, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo say under Manager Interaction: "Isn't convinced that his manager should be praising other clubs" and their morale takes a HUGE drop- sometimes from Superb to Very Poor even! No one else is affected by it. Most matches, I have to play with a Ronaldo or Kaka or both having low morale and have to give Team Talks like "No Pressure!" to lift their morale. I can never risk "Pick up where you left off" or "Expect a performance" fearing they'll not perform well. There's no performance issue though(maybe because of my Team Talks), Ronaldo is scoring truckloads and Kaka is getting assists and goals... But it takes those performances, post-match praise from opposition manager and me, and frequent praising of recent form, etc to keep their morale at a decent level... I'm pretty sure it's only the manager praising that's affecting their morale because I tried not praising any manager for 2 months and it worked. And I'm not playing either of them out of position or changing formations frequently or anything...

Is there anything we can do to stop them from getting upset? Or will they at least get used to me praising other managers over time(it's been 2 seasons!)? Any help appreciated...
 
And what's the point of you praising other managers...?

Well some players react well to it because they feel we're "diverting media attention to other clubs", plus once we get into favoured personnel of another manager, they accept bids for their players more readily and I see them commenting on your players deserving the Footballer of the Year award, etc...

I don't mess around with other managers unless they make a comment about me and I don't have too much trouble signing players.
 
Dont mess around too much with other managers really...otherwise get used to having your star players reacting like this all the time,maybe make comments on managers whose clubs are good and their players are potential transfer targets for your club
 
I've praised one manager in my time; David Moyes. That was because he praised me before one of our games, I wanted Jack Rodwell so praised him back. Now he praises me every game and we are best chums. Happy days.
 
I got CR9 & Kaka super morale just keep on winning the league title or UEFA Champions League and play them every game you get

What can I say, I don't think you can sign any better than CR9 or Kaka, so keeping them cool is the best option, if you ask me... I don't know well, but if your players wins an award, it does nothing to his performance, maybe it can raise his morale, but as long as it's superb, awards don't matter...

Messi :@, just saying
 
Never had a problem with this with Leeds. Whenever a manager praises me or attacks me in pre-match, I sometimes reply with mind games or by praising. Not seen any of my players react negatively towards it, but Ronaldo is a very temperamental player :D

Then again, the only time where I have actually interacted with a manager when they've said nothing about me is SAF at Man U, who I have said on a number of occasions should seek alternate employment :S

Thanks you for the post.
 
it depends on their personalities, determined and driven players like rooney ronaldo etc like you to be respecful but firey and confident, ie dont praise managers, but have respect for, say thing like we havea good relationship when it comes up, its the less determined players, those whp dont like the pressure who want to you deflect it ive generally found
 
I went through a phase ripping on every rmanager - team loves it if they are highly ambitious!

My mate did that, he was going to be an ******* to everyone and rip on opposition players as well. His manager name *** Hole He won champions league with benfica and they named the new stadium they were building Hole stadium. I remember him asking me if there was anyway to change the pitch colour to brown. XD
