Ulitmatum

Anybody ever had a successful ultimatum?

and under what circumstances?

I have in older FMs. But you have to be there along time and be doing a great job and even then 9 times out of 10 you would still get sacked.

Anybody ever had a successful ultimatum?

yes i did when i lead an ultimatum on fm10 because board kept saying stadium didnt need expanding even though 36 games from 38 games were sells and same for champions league etc

thought id give it a go cos if i wasnt sucessful i would have found a new challenge

Yes, on CM01/02 when I took Billericay to the Premier League and needed a capacity increase.

Same here with Rossendale, took them all the way from Unibond 1st Division to League 1, ultimatum'd abou increasing the capacity and they sacked me!

It's a bug IMHO, why would they sack you when you have threatened to resign, they have to pay you off that way!!

With Villa on FM08 I think. Stadium was packed every week, had already been increased to 55,000 and the board said they couldn't expand anymore and there wasn't enough funding for a new stadium or something along those lines. I offered an ultimatum and all of a sudden money became available for a new stadium (I was in 2019 and had won the Champions League on 4 occasions and the Premiership 6 times in a row, so that may have helped)

I've never had an ultimatum work, but I have had the board give me one last chance before.

I've never tried one lol. Just kept moaning about expanding the stadium for about 5 years and they eventually caved.

I'm 'untouchable' at the moment. Does that mean it is more likely to work?

I'm desperate for my board to improve the youth facilities.

yeah.. only ever works when your in an alex ferguson / wenger situation.... when they cant possibly lose you

just save before attempting it..

I haven't tried it in FM10 yet, but I know in FM08, I got it to work for the first time ever. I got Rotherham to the Premiership and won about 12 titles and 3 Champions League as well as plenty of other trophies. However, my board wouldn't build my ground any higher than about 18-20k. So I isued an ultimatum and it worked. Every season after this, for about five years they turned down my request, but I kept issuing ultimatums, and they always gave in.

this

In CM 2006 I asked for more transfer funds (I needed around 20 million) and whenI issued an ultimatum they gave me 60 million

I also got the Training Facilities improved in FM09

The first time I ever played FM (2007?) I gave the board an ultimatum and they sacked me on the spot.

First and last try.

I try every now and then, but I'm also careful and save the game before. If they decide to sack me, I quit and re-start the game and pick up from before I popped the question.
