I think an auto pilot manager option for when people are away would be useful. I have a busy job, long hours, lots of stress.. so while I am going bankrupt for the first time in ten years it occurs to me that having to worry about cash flow in a game is not my big priority when I am looking after 8 figure budgets for companies and the salaries of hundreds of people in the real world.
Auto pilot would simply arrange friendlies, sign up for FL's, Cups etc when the live manager is away, nothing more.
