Posted many times and everytime gets a

why the fook do u want to be a chairman that would just be the most boring game ever

A bad idea the first time & still a bad idea.

All you'll do is click continue & sack your manager every so often.

And intervene in your Managers transfers.

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

I guess you could use those useless Career Earnings to buy a club.

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. PLEASE PUT THIS LOT IN

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Again.

For at least the eighth time.

For at least the eighth time.

Feeling generous today?

Add my name to those with thumbs down.

Regardless of when in the game it happens, or how old your game age is, it still means playing Football Chairman instead of Football Manager. Not interested.

Today my generosity knows no bounds!

I think it's usefull to pass the reputation, number of titles of the previous version to the newer version. It is better to continue a game with the evolution... and continuous reputation.

It would be better if we could be the Chairman of the FA and fix al the leagues

Of course, there are probably some people (my fiancée, for example) who say that playing a game where you are the manager of a football team must be the most boring game.

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!

How about we just let SI get the Football Manager bit right before we start asking for Chairman-add-ons..

Just an opinion...

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.

That would be great! We could look at balance sheets and eat expensive lunches in the directors box and accuse royalty of fascist sympathies!

What would you do? What would the game be?

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!

People constantly suggest this but never say what you could do.

Things like building a new stadium and training grounds happens what once every 50years?

Wow exciting

Not bad but im in the process of copyrighting my game - Football kit man.

You start off at a low league club and work your way up.

You can be rewarded if you do well but if you put someones shirt in the wrong place you can be fined and have your total career earnings dented.

BRILLIANT IDEA. being a chairman. now. what would this wonderful extra bit entail?

hmmmmmm, sorry i can't think of anything that the chairman does that could ever be transported toa game to make it interesting or even slightly worth spending time and effort in implementing

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.

I agree.

Though, even if the manager part was working, the chairman idea would still be bad... and still have no place in FM.

People still post rubbish ideas in my opinion. Simply if you want a Chairman game, either go buy one or make you yourself.

This is Football Manager for a reason

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?

Its more of an easter egg than expanded gameplay

You can do that by editing the chairman edt file before starting a new game.

no thanks

"Sit Back and Watch 2009"???

Nonsense.

Silly idea, sorry.

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.

This is the only way I'd be happy if the idea was to be implemented somehow. But it certainly shouldn't be mandatory that the player HAS to retire and start anew once the age hits a certain point.

I'd be happy,when i retire after a long term at the club, gradi-esque,(at crewe).Just keep my name in the staff list as Director of Football or just board member.Just as Dario Gradi was kept in the board after 20 or so years

Amazing idea! You could give your manager feedback from all the games, sack him and basically control the transfers!

Not off topic; belongs in this thread

wish-list sticky where it can be safely ignored

I took a look at this thread in hope there's discussion about what 09 should bring.

there's much work for SI to do with 09 before even considering so stupid ideas.

I've said this every time someone asks about a chairman game. I want to be able to be offered the job when i'm old and been at a club for a long time, but as soon as I accept my name etc should be retired from the game and have no impact whatsoever. Just add a new player and that's that.

Why the hell would I want to play a game in which the only thing I could possibly control is transfers and sacking a manager, the latter which I could only do once every 2-3 years YAWN.

Looking at some of the news reports I read lately, you can do it way more frequent. Heck, if you're chairman at empoli, you can get back the manager you fired earlier in the season.

Patje.lol

What happens if your manager is successul, that would be a game in which the only thing you do is sign players and that's that. Unless you want to mimic Abramovich, but I just don't see the appeal in hiring and firing a manager. It would be fun the first few times but even then you would holiday in between. You would also holiday in between transfer windows because there is nothing at all you would have to do.

I'm not saying it would be fun, I spit on the idea of being a chairman in a game. It's just that I disagree with firing a manager every 2-3 years, it can be a lot more frequent, as things like those happen IRL aswell. Some clubs have 3 different managers in a season.

You could take over a club you hate and sell your best players for a pittance.

The AI chairmen are already playing it.

then the game would be unplayable as no-one would buy the club.....

it would be hard and generally bizarre for SI to create the game like that. It would be boring and a waste of life anyway!

It's an idea I am keen on.

I encourage it.

Quick random fact, only 13 of the 92 football league managers have been managing the same club for over 3 years.
