News and Mail

The News and Mail page (a/k/a the Manager News page) is your source for news about your team, league, organization, and for personal communications from your owner and players.

Additionally, in-game events may trigger pop-ups that will bring you directly to this page to check some urgent message.


Note: The above links will not work within the in-game help. However, they all simply link to sections lower in this page, so if you are reading this in-game, just scroll down to find the appropriate section!

About FHM's News System

All communications related to your human general manager, public or private, are viewed from the News and Mail page. Imagine that you have an assistant who is responsible for bringing you relevant newspaper clippings and messages each morning. The left pane displays your in-box with a list of messages and their subject headers. News items are sorted chronologically, with the most recent items at the top. There is also a status column on the left. Messages with a small circle in the status column are still unread. The lower left also contains the News Subscription Settings that are described on the Manager Options page.

To view a news article, click on one of the subjects in the upper left pane, and the contents will be displayed in the right pane. The right pane displays the content of the message. Messages frequently include hyperlinks to people or teams of interest.

Message Filters

At the top right of the message list is a menu that allows you to display just certain types of messages. The filter drop-down does not control which messages you receive, but only which ones you see at the moment. The Filter Messages drop-down resets each time you leave the page.

News Subscription Settings

The News Subscription Settings in the lower left corner of the page are identical to those described on the Manager Options page.

Action Buttons

There are four action buttons on the Manager News page, three of which are simply to help keep your in-box tidy:

OptionDescription
Delete Message Deletes the selected message, with no confirmation
Delete all Messages Deletes all messages. You will be asked for confirmation.
Read all Messages Marks all messages as read
Respond to Message This action menu is available only when you have received a message that requires a response. This happens, for example, when you have received a trade proposal or a response to a trade proposal that you submitted, and also if you have been offered a job. The use of this option will be described in more detail in those sections.
