Vic Taylor Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Depends how many leagues you have selected really. I mean, there's certainly not a high profile takeover every week, but with the huge amount of football clubs in the world, it's kind of hard to think that there's not a takeover per week somewhere in the world.

headhunter_uni23 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Takeovers happen for financial reasons; either a club has its debt paid by its owner through cash injection or there’s a takeover. I’ve never seen regen clubs in FM because a club went into bankruptcy and no takeover happened and the club had to be dissolved. So the only way to keep clubs from the DB in-game seems “takeovers”!

ArsenalFan7 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I've seen the likes of Newcastle being surrounded by Takeovers but the ones i've seen such as Newcastle are only realistic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighT Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I guess if they allowed teams to go out of business it would lower the take overs. The problem atm is if a club is horribley in debt someone will just take over and clear it as thats the way the games designed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinso Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 With the state of the financial market worldwide, a lot of clubs are now in financial trouble. But just to produce a few examples; Liverpool; the two idiots upstairs lost a fortune in the recession, and have saddled the club with debt. Newcastle; club was famously put up for sale West Ham; chairman lost millions when Icelandic banks collapsed Portsmouth; god only knows whats going on there!! Arsenal; Plenty of rumours Stan Kroenke is about to lauynch takeover as he keeps buying up more n more shares. So there's 4 premiership teams, and 1 championship team, just off the top of my head...

Almondo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Portsmouth; god only knows whats going on there!! Not even God know's what's going on at pompey. Anyway I've had 2 takeovers in 5 years at Adelaide Utd. One was a Board Member taking over and the other which happened in my current season was a consortium taking over. Good job as well as we were headed for administration otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

santy001 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Watford were, in an FM sense "taken over" when their chairman stood down the other week they now have a different chairman and that is relinquishing control to another member in my eyes. That wasn't high profile or even put down as a takeover, but essentially it was the club just has a loan debt of £5m to pay off now with a different chairman.
