Staff

Staff record

staff is the non-playing subtype of person: people this export decoded as staff rather than as players. It is only one of the three places a career can live. Plenty of well-known managers have no staff row at all — some are stored as players, and many sit in person_unclassified, whose subtype the decoder could not determine. Whichever table a person is in, their jobs come from staff_history joined to job_type, which is the table below.

Ability and the three reputations are the raw game figures, which run to roughly 200 rather than to 20 — they are printed exactly as stored and nothing is converted. coaching_qualification is a badge level with no lookup table in the export, so it is shown as the stored number and no name is invented for it.

Career spells

Marked current: 9 of 9 spells. A spell counts as current when date_left is empty or falls in the future — the source records plenty of long-finished spells with no end date, so more than one spell can carry the mark.
