What is a SugarDaddy?

In my game i clicked on sugardaddy and I was wondering what it does??

Abramovich, Mahsoud (sp?) at City...

Fellas who come in a dump a bunch of money.

It's a bit like a Flour baby.

Nah, it's basically someone really rich who takes over your club, allowing you to spend millions in transfers and he will never let your bank balance drop into negative numbers.

Although they can be incredibly fickle, and just withdraw their financial support at a moments notice, and then it all ends.

That happen on FM? I've never seen it?

Happened my side when I reached the CC Championship. Luckily I had spent most of the money on future transfers.

Man City don't have Sugar Daddy ticked on the official DB. I'm 99% certain - was editing recently and was surprised to discover this fact.

*goes off to double-check*

EDIT: Indeed, neither Chelsea NOR Man City (despite common belief) have Sugar Daddy ticked. I believe their hefty finances are controlled by each chairman's 'resources' attribute (both are set to 20). The only Sugar Daddy 'ticked' I can find is Hoffenheim. :confused:

Ah right.

I only said Abramovich, as it's recently come out that his investment in Chelsea is as an interest free loan. Thus if he calls it in will leave them flat broke. Therefore it seems (to those on the outside) that Chelsea is his plaything. That strikes me as a sugardaddy, when he gets bored he'll be off.

But interesting that he's not officially noted as such in the game. Think the fella at Hoffenheim is definately a true Sugardaddy though, it's a labour of love and he's just pouring cash into it, not expecting it back (as far as we know).

Even more interestingly if you go to the DDT files I think and open the sugardaddy file Man City are named as a Sugar Daddy in there yet not ticked as so in the db

Must be an error on SI's part then, surely?

I think so yes. While waiting for FM2010 I am playing a game using the fm weegie uppdate and in this update Man City do have the sugar daddy option enabled.

It doesn't matter, Man City have a sugar daddy...

Abramovich used to be one, but post-Shevchenko he's stopped pumping so much cash in.

To be accurate, a sugar daddy stops the bank balance falling below a certain amount.

It's Mansour btw.

It will interesting to see what loans brighton have in the game because their new chairman is paying about 90 million for the new stadium but is not really bothered if he gets it all back or not.

I think in the Hoffenheim situation, German rules prevent the sort of ownership that Chelsea and Man City has, so Hoffenheim's "sugar daddy" isn't actually an owner of the club, just a very generous donator, closer to a sponsor than an owner, who pours money in without getting any stake in the club, I may be wrong this is just something I remember reading a year or so ago.

It turns your chairman into Hugh Hefner/Flavio Briatore/Bernie Ecclestone/me and yourself into a beautiful blonde

That is true.

Surley City and Notts County should have Sugar Daddy in FM10.
