Blodfylla Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hello I just wondered if anyone has come across tycoon takeovers in any other leagues than English, Italian, Spanish, etc.? If so, where, which clubs, and when? Having played 8 seasons in the Scottish league, no club has had it yet, and my only other long-running savegames are in the English league. Blodfylla.

lollujo Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Bangor City in Wales were taken over in my game. They spent millions on players for about 5 years, dominated the Welsh league, then went bankrupt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I've seen Rangers taken over. Excited that I may get the chance to sign Darren Fletcher (I had a Scots-only rule), I left my job as Celtic manager to take over. On arrival, I was told that I neede to reduce the wage budget, and that there was no money left for transfer Fortunately, I was told that using McGeady and McDonald was cheating, so I had to start again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
