Irchard Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 In my game, Manchester United were taken over by a consortium in the summer of 2013. It's a Jamaican consortium, headed by none other than Watford legend Micah Hyde! Not only that, in the following year's close season, they managed to spend £120 million on players (whilst selling £3 million) worth. I'm pretty sure Micah Hyde was never paid that much by Watford or Burnley, so who are these Jamaicans pumping all this money in??! (he brought 11 Jamaican directors with him) Who is the most bizarre ex-player you have seen spearheading a takeover? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 If I re-call correctly, they had no debt after the takeover. Jamaicans must have poor business sense, because they were relegated not long after that, even with the spending you mentioned. Wasn’t $120m, more around the $70m mark.

Baroslfc5 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think that in general when a consortium take over a club in real life they often look for a "high profile sportsmen" (ok, Micah may not be too high profile, but in his homeland, he probably is) to front it. Wasn't Kenny Dalglish, Gary Lineker having similar roles for possible consortiums. I do think that screenie and the idea very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
