Blinky Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Morning FM'ers all around the world! So, I am in my 3rd season in charge of the footballing goliath that is Cheltenham Town. After back to back promotions I am siting around the play offs in the Championship. But I feel now I am at a cross roads. The problem is a lack of funding, and my Chairman looking like he is sitting tight! Is there a stat that shows how likely a take over is, or how likely the chairman is to sell, or how happy the chairman is? My team is in need of investment to make the step up Radek Cerny Gregory Vignal - Calum Davenport - Danny Gabbidon - Kerrea Gilbert Adam Johnson - Isiah Osbourne - Sam Hewson - Jeremie Aliadiere Nathan Tyson - Ishmael Miller (Loan) I've spent 60k in fees and my wage budget is 40k a week. My central midfield needs investment desperately! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampler Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 you got a decent squad for a championship team mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1606 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Without using an editor, the board room gives you the best clue -it'll say how the chairman feels, for example 'feels he will never leave the club'. nice squad for 60k there...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 That 60k came in my first season with the signings of Chris Shuker and Nicky Weaver! The rest have been free transfers/bosmans. I feel in order to make the next step I need a few million. But it's not looking likely! John Bostock has come in on loan and ousted Sam Hewson from the team.

Blinky Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Is there a hidden statistic that can be viewed using an editor to indicate how likely a sale is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontask Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 thats a decent team. if it says on the club information screen that the chairman 'loves the club' then hes not leaving in the near future. got 2 hope hes willing to shake the cobwebs off his wallet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 He's happy at the club. Paul Baker hasn't got 2 pennies to rub together! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 As if by magic Paul Baker has announched he is going to step down. Excited to see what happens now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 As if by magic Paul Baker has announched he is going to step down.Excited to see what happens now... I wouldn't hope for an Arab or Russian billionaire if I were you. He's more likely to sell to another board member and that doesn't automatically mean that any debt will be removed or you'll be given millions to spend. The new chairman may even decide to get rid of you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ism-scfc Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I had something similar to that Got a message saying 'there is currently no intention to invest any money into the football club' or words to that effect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackripper Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 my finances say im rich but i got just over £3million in balance....Im Valencia btw my chairman loves the club so the only way is down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well, this is bizarre... My chairman stated he wasn't going to invest. On the opening screen for the Premiership it's announced I will get 29m for TV money. I am assuming this is staggered? My chairman then gives me £20m to spend on players with 200k a week wages. Whilst my current bank balance is -800k! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
