Jonnie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm currently in 2020, so most the current crop of real players have retired.. but people like John Terry and Stevie G have retired to come chairmen, even though they "definetlty looking to go into management when retires" Even people like Jermain Defoe, Jamie Carragher, Ryan Jarvis and David James have also become chairmen Is this like it on other peoples gameS? seems abit weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Carragher and James would be an interesting pairing in the board room. Carragher sounding like he's having a fit and James speaking at a snails pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuyvesant Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Lmao, imagine Terry becoming chairman. "Clubs transfer budget cut in half because of chairmans bad gambling habits." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcats Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I get players becoming chairmen if they don't take up any coaching, physio jobs etc. i just think its a defult thing if they decide to 'properly' retire becuase i have never seen any take over a club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why though. When they become chairmen, if they retire young, they age 20 years . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFCJIM Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It just means a former player who hasn't gone into coaching. There needs to be a proper role descriptor, admittedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeha Scholes just became a Chairman but I couldnt click on his name as you cant with chairmen and I dont know where he went. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julz Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Im pretty sure Stevie G was a chairman of liverpool in one of my games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 What strikes me as strange about it is that there aren't that many Chairmen who were previously footballers IRL so why is it even included in the game? I understand a manager e.g. SAF one day becoming Chairman or something high up in a club, but I don't think footballers would have as much inclination to become a Chairman as they do to become a manager or coach.

Sir_Liam Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 An 18 year old regen on my game retired, and on the message telling me he'd retired it said on the side he was a chairman and aged 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyo79 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I have noticed on my game that Maldini, Van Der Sar & Ljungberg have become chairman. Bit disappointed that Maldini did because usually I appoint him as my assistant manager when he retires in the game. This chairman lark is definitely something SI should take out of the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Nick Habershon Posted June 20, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted June 20, 2008 Players will only consider a figure-head role with a consortium taking over a club if they have decided not to take any other non-playing role upon their retirement.

G-Man11 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 In real life our chairman (coventry city) Ray Ranson is an ex-footballer. As is the chairman of Sunderland as someone above mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightedManager Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Ald man Lorimer took over as Chairman of Leeds after they went bankrupt again in my game. I see so many names just popping up that I didn't know were even in the game!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon army 06 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 so players become chairmen do they just turn up or can they only do it if a consortium takes over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
