Alex22 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 That seems like a useless feature right now, but lets see if we can come up with some ideas for which money can be used, without making it FIFA Manager like. Ive heard a few people mentioning a chairman mode, so maybe you can spend that money on buying or building a club? Any other ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion22 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I like that Idea. I have currently earned £21m at Chelsea, more than enough to buy a BSP team. Hell, Bates got Leeds for about £15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 its not useless at all, its linked to your job security. ie.. the higher wage youre on, coupled with length of contract, makes it less likely youll get the sack. chairman mode = crap. at the end of the day, its a MANAGER game, about managing teams, not goin out and spending your own money...

Van Macintosh Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Would that be allowed irl?? Conflict of interests? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankrzyz Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Just use it to measure managers' careers against each other and leave it at that. In my opinion, this feature would stray too far from the game of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Why not just leave it as it is? I don't see the obbsession that people have with being able to spend our wages. Its a football manager game. Football managers don't spend their wages being a manager, they spend it on their private life - which FM doesn't simulate and never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldonko Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I kinda like the private life stuff from fifa manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Macintosh Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Maybe FM09 could have a direct link to the players bank account and what you earns you keeps, this link would also come into affect when managers received fines so you'd have to be carefull!! Didn't the early CM have a betting function, which you could get in trouble over if found out?? That was cool and a funny little sideline, bring that back in. Might of been premier manager? not sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankrzyz Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 ...would also come into affect when managers received fines... That is one of the very few, if only, examples of where a manager's personal wealth can be affected by in-game actions. I'm not opposed to that, personally.

Ackter Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 There's only two reasons a manager's salary should ever come into the game, and both are already implemented. 1) Job security. The higher the wage and longer the contract, the harder it is for the club to sack you. 2) Bargaining. If you take a lower wage you're more likely to get that training expansion you're after.

Smac Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Never really like the Chairman idea, but now that you mention it with the idea of buying a club I could see this scenario: You get to be 80 years old and decide to retire. Once out of the game with that manager, as a manager, you can have him buy a club and be chairman. I suppose he could 'hire' another manager you create, which would give the game some extreme longevity for those very few who play 30+ year careers. Sort of a reward at the end of the rainbow. But for all that 98% of players never play that long, so why bother? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 In my experience those who play 30+ year careers have no intention of being chairman and every intention of making it 50+ years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueglobefootball123 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 As mentioned above it should be left as it is, however one mod should be (again as mentioned above) that manager fines are taken from the personel wealth as opposed to club funds as I'd imagine this is how it is in real life? We could then have an addtion to the records thread, to see who can get there managers wage most into the red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I think it should be compulsory for managers to buy a house to live in, thus FM will have to accurately simulate the housing market. Also furniture, cars and other accessories would need to be bought and I feel it is totally unrealistic that our managers don't have to do a weekly shop at the supermarket and eat food every day which we should have to buy in great detail for every single meal...

Misodoctakleidist Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I think a very limited chairman feature would be decent. It would allow you to appoint yourself as manager and then manage without board interference. That way you actually get some benefit from career earnings without introducing any silly features or a full-blown chairman simulation. It would also provide a sort of unsackable mode that some people seem to want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should also be tied in with Tesco and every so often we should get clubcard vouchers to help us save a little. The feature should also take into account the things we purchase e.g. a bottle of wine a day and I should become an "Alcoholic Talented Manager".
