Chairman selling all my best players

Is there a way to stop you chairman from getting involved in your transfers, other clubs are putting bids in for my best players, which he is accepting and there is nothing i can do about it

Yes..... Resign

Thats life, there have been a few threads on this, and normally it comes down to having world class players in league 2, but no, if the chairman wants the money he takes it, but you should then have the cash to buy a replacement

I was annoyed when my chairman sold Pato for 59 million, as I was trying to push into the top 4 with Plymouth. Ultimately, it did allow me to buy some class youngsters and build up the club so we're now the dominant force in world football.

yay!!

When you get promoted to higher leagues it is unlikely to happen.

Realistically, at a lower level this is to be expected. Set players with a value so you can have more control.

Um... no, mate. This is wrong. Your chairman can override you at any level and sell your players, especially if he has a high 'Interference' rating.

Yes, I know that.

I was referring to the OP's situation - if he gets promoted it is less likely to happen on his current budget with his current crop of players.

If he gets promoted, won't he have even more money worries? :confused:

Maybe, but he will also have an increased revenue stream.

Which will be offset by the wage increases.

And I think that a chairman at any level is likely to accept bids over the manager's head if the offer's good enough. You don't need to be in financial trouble.

Your right. Mike Ashley sold James Milner despite Keegan wanting to keep him.

You're not your

yep happened to me got my swansea team into play offs with 2 very good regens

both signed new contracts:thup:as key players

but didnt stop my chairman from accepting offers on both...............and he only gave me 40% of sales to spend the git;)

im currently with the Swans in league 1 and got one good regen with a lot of interest, Im hoping he doesnt sell as hes instrumental to my team.

You're not your

Don't correct other people's spelling. I'm shocked at how many times I see it. If something can be understood, why feel the need to draw attention to someone's mistake and embarrass them?

The rest went on his new speed boat.

Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't have posted that. My apologies.

You're not one of the last 50 managers to be sacked by Real Madrid then?

Ironically, there's a thread going now asking for a Director of Football to take away all managerial responsibility for buying and selling players. Can't please everyone!

LOL you're right. It makes no sense.

I've already been dug up about that comment and as I said before, I was actually talking about the OP's current squad. I should have put a big neon sign requesting not to take it out of context.

I thought this was a Pompey thread for a moment

No you can't stop it from happening.

There are a few clubs in real life where the chairman tells the manager

"here are your new signings for the season, enjoy"

be grateful SI havent got that part of CEO inteference ingame yet.

Chairman selling players

Chairman buying players

Chairman cancelling player purchases

Chairman cancelling player sales

all happen at somepoint or other in real football, we only have to deal with 1 instance of this activity ingame.

my multi millionaire chairman decided he wanted to sell the club and sold to a fellow director who has no money whatsoever. I'm Ebbslfeet in 2018/19 currently in the championship fighting for promotion, i managed to hang on to a few off my better players but did loose some players.

I don't think so, however, you could try discouraging clubs from making offers to your players in the first place.If a player in my team seems to attract the attention of big clubs, i set his asking price to the highest possible with reject all offers. This seems to help somehow..

Use an editor to set the chairman influence to 1. This will not prevent him from acting like a faraon the same but it helps a bit to limit the chairman's huge ego and brainless activities.

You can also set his price to zero. That way the chairman will look at how weak the offer is and not steam in to accept it.

Like someone mentioned in another thread (and I've tried this on a few occassions to great success, with Dover Athletic), just offer the player out for $0. If loads of clubs come in for him accept all offers, and hope he chooses one of those and not the one your chairman accepted. Then you have the power to cancel the deal when he says he accepts the contract offer.

In FM06 Abramovich bought Chivu for me so it is a feature that's been removed.

Good ol' Steve Gibson, not given me a problem in 12 years (game time) but the Bayern chairman at the start of my career on FM09 sold Ribery behind my back.

If a team offers X money to buy one of your talents, if you set the price to 0 wouldn't it be too late ? If the chairman accepted I think it would be too late for whatever action.....dunno ?

If you set his asking price to £0, and offer him out, you'll get loads of offers in. If he accepts one of them, as opposed to the original offer your chairman accepted, you'll have the chance to cancel the deal.

That's bascially cheating though.

For those that don't like cheating there is really nothing you can do about it other than resign. Or maybe wait it out and see if the club gets taken over.

This is one of the things I'd like the option to "issue an ultimatum" for.

I was annoyed when my chairman sold Pato for 59 million, as I was trying to push into the top 4 with Plymouth. Ultimately, it did allow me to buy some class youngsters and build up the club so we're now the dominant force in world football.

yay!!

lol, Pato at Plymouth..

This is one of the things I'd like the option to "issue an ultimatum" for.

And end up without a club aswell as your player.

Ultimatums rarely work so what would be the point in adding the feature?

In FM06 Abramovich bought Chivu for me so it is a feature that's been removed.

They should bring it back. Its realism. Its stupid to mange Real Madrid and Chelsea and not have players bought and sold over my back. Why is there that option when talking to the press that says "Complete surprise to me I didn't even know" when you sign a new player.

Its all these n00bs saying OMG I want realism yet don't like chairman interference. Its like letting Portsmouth buy Davenport for all the cash in the bank/future cash (or lack of it lol). It would never happen.

What about letting John Terry go? Really? You will be chased out of London and maybe the UK for that. FM has become more bugged and less realistic over the years. Frankly lack of competition has made this game worst.
