Can managers get emotionally attached to players at the club?

[The Great Johnny]

Yes, but generally I do not keep players for more than 3-5 seasons. If you think about it, rather let them end their careers as the superstars of the lower leagues rather than a benchwarmer or squad player in your team.

Thats the norm spell for a player bought if you gave it regular training and match practice, but sometimes a manager may favour the player and go that extra mile.
