11Clarkie11 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Seen some very unusual takeovers in FM2012 that i don't believe you'd see in reality. The latest of the lot is a Welsh consortium overtaking A.C. Milan? Any other weird and wonderful takeovers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzar Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Any takeover of AFC Wimbledon would be dubious (I very much doubt the fans would let it go), but I'm sure it's happened in someone's game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things Could Get Messi Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 keep seeing local businessmen takeover premier league clubs which surely wouldnt happen much in real life. latest one was barry kilby (wasnt he burnley chairman at 1 time?) buy and become chairman of arsenal.

kris0710 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Bill Kenwright gets around on my save. Im in 2025 and he started at Everton, moved onto Newcastle and apparently he is in talks with Wigan about a takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Whippy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I trust that Stourbridge eventually went into administration. Surprisingly not, he's been owner now for 20 years and they're residing in League 1. Needless to say, Plymouth are no longer playable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macco88 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 In my current save Dunfermline were saved from administration by a Russian Consortium and are now well off St. Mirren were bought out by someone from portugal and are now rich The weirdest one though is Queens park being bought over by a Russian Consortium and are now in the top 40 estimated values for clubs!! lol in that same period they were also relagated to the Scottish 3rd Division Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is totally unrealistic, we are skint and Barry hasn't got anywhere near enough funds for such a takeover lol! I was a bit gutted because on my save i am newcastle, im doing pretty well but Burnley have been taken over by an italian consortium and if it wasn't for my long term save project with newcastle i would of loved to have managed Burnley because when ever i have managed them, it's usually Flood who takes over! Still had an immense save on FM10 which i have kept Up the clarets! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 My Everton team has just been taken over by a tycoon. Kenright will never sell the club IRL... Eh? IRL he's desperately trying to find a buyer. The Queens Park example aside, none of the cases in this thread strike me as odd. Bear in mind that many tycoons are figureheads of consortia (occasionally shadowy consortia comprising one crook in cases such as Ridsdale and Bates) who put up most of the investment, especially when the figurehead is a famous ex-footballer.

CWind Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I saw Gianluigi Buffon take over Russian second-tier side Metallurg Lipetsk in FM11, right after he retired from football. They got relegated a couple seasons later, though, and became a bit of a yo-yo club - but Buffon was still chairman into the late 2020s when I retired that save. In my current FM12 save an Israeli tycoon took over West Bromwich Albion and they made it to the Champions League before he withdrew his funding and eventually stepped down. They went back to mid-table obscurity after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
