Just for information purposes, as far as I know, teams that have issued shares to the public need to achieve a set number of objectives in order to be reconfirmed.
I was one of the original players that thought having season goals and objectives based on the car level would be a great idea and i still like it. The reason im not sure if people will get sacked is that by the looks of things nobody has been set any goals or objectives by their team/shareholders right? Therefore they cant really sack you for not meeting the objectives...
Also if you still own over 51% of the team then you are the majority shareholder and it is highly unlikely that you would be sacked unless you completely screwed up (i.e. sold all the cars and equipment to fund your drinking habit or something...lol!) Even then you would still own the majority share so could reform the board with some closer allies and get yourself hired again.
In short unless you have sold more than 49% of your team then you should, if its like the real world, avoid the sack.
I disagree on the majority shares meaning your safe idea.
If this is the case then its basically free money for the first 49 shares sold, which is stupid.
In the game I believe even if you have only sold one share you could be liable to being sacked.
In beta I was sacked when I only sold 15 shares.
Also, in the real world, there would be rules put in place to define who could sack the board (or in this case the team manager), so its not a simple 50% cut off point.
If you get fired, then you don't actually have control of any of the shares you had. Therefore, the shares of the team are owned by the team, not you as an individual, therefore if you do only sell one share then you could be fired as a firm which is holding its own shares has no voting rights with those shares, only external investors do.
