uzee Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was thinking if any of your clubs have been took over by the big men. If so did u have say in it or not? What's the experience like etc???? Also does this club takeover by the rich happen randomly? Or can we somehow aid/influence this to happen? Im hoping that my current can get took over haha.

Cometdude Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 My West Ham side got taken over, I was second in the prem in my third season, had two second place finishes already in my time there. The takeover started on December 31 and ended on something like 29 January so I couldnt make any new sigings (this meant I missed out on signing Adriano who went to Man City for £500k ) then to rub salt into the wounds they sacked my and appointed Sven. But I have to say I loved every minute of it. Is one of the better features added to the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc-gunner Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 you can tell when your going to get taken over by looking at the board room screen and looking at the chairmans status i used to get taken over on fm 2007 as arsenal after nearly 2 seasons but on fm 08 i havent experienced a takeover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan,,, Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think there is a file that you can create a chairman, e.g. Bill Gates, and then have him buy a club on a certain date. Not sure how to use it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc-gunner Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i agree the board takeovers are a good feature in the game and they are good fun and enjoyable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumbledSausage Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I had a board takeover last night at Barcelona (well, it was an election, which is what happens in Spain), which was cool in that they cleared the debts (I had just taken over a recently relegated Barcelona - to Spanish 2nd Div.) but they provided no extra income (disappointing). It was exciting though - wondering if they would replace me with someone else, or pile money into the club... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to use it though. Not exactly - it's a file that allows you to create the name of a possible new chairman, but isn't guaranteed to go through.

richiebrill Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Anyone who actualy know's how to se this, is it part of the FM Editor you get with the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duttz Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 No, its a text file in your game directroy.

Im a West Ham fan and have never managed it unless I reloaded the game if I wasnt happy with a result. Also, there arent really enough quality players available at the start of the game to replace the players that arent good enough for the team. Certainly not ones that you'd be able to afford with the starting transfer budget. Who did you buy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duttz Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 It's not one of those... it must be around there somewhere, try going back one or two and look in some different folders, it's called something like board takeover or make me chairman... it's in the same folder as other board related .inc files.

I had Wycombe and Hartlepool taken over by millionaires in 07. I suppose someone who works at SI is a Wycombe fan, as it seemed to happen quite often when I wasn't playing with them as well. Hmmm.

Found 1 called make me chairman but the picture of it is slightly different to some others, it looks like a white page with an internet explorer symbol on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc-gunner Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 what is the actual point of the make me chairman feature? does it have the same meaning as what i think it is and anyone ever became a chairman? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richiebrill Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've been able to open it and from what I can tell it's so you can create a chairman to go for a club and takeover, you can choose whiuch club aswell so for a bit of enjoyment I put my partner as the potential chairmn and used the company name she would use lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassien Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 It's just a chairman with whatever name put into the game. It doesn't literally make you chairman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
