lawsie Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Well i was playing as newcastle and i was on a transfer embargo, top of the championship, no games lost. All was going well. Then we get a new chairman who apparantly wanted curbishley in. Now i thought there is no way they would sack me because of the start i have made. but just the day before the takeover was complete i lost 4-0 away to ipswich, fined a player for getting sent off and upset my enitre team all in one go. I then pressed continue to find the transfer was complete and my job was under review. needless to say i was a bit worried but they let me keep my job! lol.

nev147 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yeah seems very harsh. A bit like in real life with some of these billionaire owners - they have not got much of a clue about football - just want to throw some of their money around and have some fun!

IMT Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Losing 4-0 to Ipswich should be reason enough for an immediate dismissal ;~) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougyMarshall Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 At Rangers i was doing good... new chairman wanted McCoist to take my job so i sacked him lol.

FrazT Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 You would have to have done pretty badly over a long period to get the sack after a takeover so mostly it is just speculation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 haven't seen someone sacked right after a take-over so far either. Neither in 10 nor 09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogal Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I got sacked after a take-over on 09, playing september update, got newcastle promoted, great young players, mike ashley wouldn't give me any money to buy any players in the start of the season back in the prem, some-one bought the club and sacked me 5 weeks into life in the premier league being undefeated (although i didn't win a game neither) suppose it happens tho once in a while?

Spurs1979 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Remember in FM09 after taking Hendon into the EPL we got a board takeover & they reviewed my job then as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner86 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 In my save I've just seen West HAm get bought out by a consortium (and delisted from the Stock Exchange - nice touch), they sacked Zola and installed Strachan without him managing a game under the new regime!

The Raconteur Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm guessing that most people who play as NUFC would go through takeovers - has anyone actually been sacked (in the 2010 demo) after a successful change of ownership? Because I imagine the situation will be similar in the full game - the club is very much available and I'll be damned if I start as my team if I'm going to get sacked every time!

PhroX Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You would have to have done pretty badly over a long period to get the sack after a takeover so mostly it is just speculation. Dunno about '10, but in the past it always seemed to me that your chances of staying on after a takeover have little do do with how well the team has been doing in the past. Instead, my experience has been that, when they takeover, they give you a few games to prove yourself (2-4 usually), and judge you on those. I've had a couple of games where I've been doing really well, had a takeover, then lost a couple of games straight after the takeover and been sacked (yet I was never replaced by the person linked to the job before the takeover - they brought in someone else).

london boy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I almost got sacked at Valencia. Started really well, hit a really bad patch, slumped to 15th and finished 11th at the end of the demo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
