On my Nuneaton save I have taken them from the BSN to the Championship with promotion every season(no cheating just some luck and some shrewd signings). In my Championship pre-season there was another takeover of the club(I survived the 1st),I could not believe that the new buyers already had a new manager lined up for when they bought the club,I was shocked. I had offers coming in from the likes of Everton but I kept refusing. After the takeover was over the new owner decided to give me a chance but he was not very excited too be fair,the only thing that saved my bacon was the club stature which he viewed as very good. I had too win him over....all that for a measly 400k he put into the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott MUFC Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 mike ashley expect the club to give him money. not the other way around and no, newcastle can be pants forever, except when they face man city anyway, i think they have done something to restrict budgets or something, Blackpool no longer has that 20+ million budget in the patch it had in the origonal database.

daylight Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Blackpool no longer has that 20+ million budget in the patch it had in the origonal database. I played as Blackpool after the last patch and they have a 2 million transfer budget but at around November time they gave me an extra 17 million too spend. So I don't think it has changed that much. Gave up the save after a season and a half as it felt like easy mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarian Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 What is/was teh debt situation when he took over? Aren't Valencia in serious financial problems when the game starts, he may of spent all his money sorting that out rather then on your transfer budget. Not to denegrate your skills but a good manager can easy put up a title challenge for £12m and £900k, the AI squad building is that rubbish . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo_rune Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 No, but their realistic fan's do There seems to be an expectation of football fans that every wealthy owner, if there is one who owns their club, should be like Abramovich, or Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and pump exorbitant amounts of money into the club. The idea that they might own it as an investment to be managed - at least to break even on - is anathema. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyloxxx Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I did not intend the title to offend anyone, it was merely because ty is easily turned to tight without much change. If tycoon say was a different word, say typhoon it would have still worked and no one would have made an unintended link. it is just that the last bit of tycoon is unfortunate. i did wonder at it very briefly when i made the title, however i then went ahead with it as i thought that no one would be offended by the title upon seeing the content. Perhaps we should write to SI and get them to stop using the word tycoon? it may offend someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsenalFan7 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 whatever it doesn't offend me and i wasn't really bothered but there's a difference between not using tycoon (meaning wealthy, powerful person within a business or industry) and the use of tight **** ffs :D but this is a rather pointless argument anyway, so yeah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
