Silver Foxx Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Originally posted by megafan2005:I beleive his has been brought up before this game is Football Manager not Football Chairman Read his post again, he says : 'the should make it were you could become the chairman off a football club after your retire' Which is stating going chairman after you are 60+ (or whatever) and have retired from managing. I think this wouldn't be a bad idea, but not sure if it would be viable to be inputted into the game due to time/resources on the overall game. Nice idea though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac123 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 RECORDS so we can break them likelayers scoring in consecutive match's, fastest goals scored, highest paid player, world record tranfer fee things like this. also can you please put in kit changes as this is a big part of a club, also what about a bit more fan interaction like players the fans would like the club to buy or players they think should be playing more regular. and maybe its a big ask but what about some curruption like players going out and getting involed in fights and roasting charges lol and defo bungs and bribes could have a lot of fun with things like this.

gregdfc Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I've always wanted to be a chairman of Dundee Football Club, get them in the UEFA cup, sack the manager, build a new stadium/training etc. It would also be good if you could be a consortium, like the souness one!

heathxxx Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm sorry but I don't see what SI could gain from implementing such an idea. I can see what the OP "wants", as stadium building and more financial control are aspects used in other games. Maybe if they're so keen on such attributes, they should just play those games. On the other hand, it may be that they wish that SI would make such a game, because the competitors offerings lack depth and just are'nt very good.

LtCyc Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think this opens up great potential. How about football manager Retired?? Something like an X-version which could be an addon. Features: - click to continue I'm sure SI could plant a lot of bugs even on this one. Or how about Football Janitor? Football Water Boy? Football Fan?? (where you can go and watch a game in the weekend!!) Or even Football - College Basketball Coach. Since you're a basketball coach you don't have anything to do with football so you simply can't manage any clubs!!! YEAH! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam1187 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think a better alternative would be an option for you to use your career earnings to buy the club when you have enough money. This is possible on FIFA Manager although I have foun a flaw and can now buy the club for nothing A great way of avoiding the sack if you have an awful run.

WerderBremenYank Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 It isnt a matter of PLAYING AS A CHAIRMAN If you have a created manager in game, and after 35 successful seasons at a club, you retire that manager and create a new manager to play with, it would be a neat feature to have the old manager (the one you already retired, and are NO LONGER PLAYING AS) come up as a potential chairman of the club that he once served so well. make more sense?

Spagbol Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I've always given this a huge thumbs down. BUT: If when you hit sixty something the game could say "Your contract's coming to an end, rather then renew it the board have decided to offer you a posision on the board" At which point accepting retired your manager and let you start from there with a new one, the old having joined the board. It makes more sense then having 128 year old managers which we currently have, doesn't it? It's not even like 1/10th of players will see fourty seasons.
