srwlml23 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 will this be in 09 if so can you challenge there decision, does anyone know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Don't think you can challenge a decision made by the board. I know that you can issue ultimatums for certain things but its been my experience that 9 times out of 10 this leads to you being sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers08 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 The board are your bosses , so i doubt you could challenge the decisions, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
srwlml23 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 it would be a good feature if you could reply with a, don't sell the player because and then some different responses rather than ultimatums Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 it would be a good feature if you could reply with a, don't sell the player because and then some different responses rather than ultimatums I agree that as manager you should be at least consulted a bit more before clubs poach your players and staff. This is really a problem with the staff because at least with a player if you get a bid you have the oportunity to refuse it but with staff this doesn't happen.

frogsplash101 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 i agree with this, especially staff as players are sold under your nose alot more irl in my opinion but staff tend to be kept unless its ok with the manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've a feeling Kevin Keegan would agree with you.... I think Keegan's problem was that Denis Wise would sign the players that he wanted rather than the ones that Keegan wanted. Anyway the Newcastle fans need to stop living in the past. They're not as big a club as they think and having Keegan there will not mean that they suddenly become the best team in the country. They should also remember that he hasn't got much in the way of bottle. As soon as things get tough he buggers off. He's done it twice with Newcastle & once with Man City.

backpackant Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You won't know until SI want you to know. End of. The feature will undoubtably be in FM09 but I'm hoping it it will be based on the manager's valuation of the player rather than the game's [hidden] reputation stat that chairmen seem to use to set a "too good to refuse" value.

CHARLIERODD Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'd prefer something less aggressive than an ultimatum maybe a battled response but not 'I'll quit unless i get this!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
srwlml23 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Don't the board issue ultimatums? PLEASE don't take this out of contexts but this has nothing to do with the OP It's not what i was saying, when the board accept a bid for a player that is worth a lot more and that we don't want to sell, if you could challenge there decision bye saying something like this player will be an integral part of the team progressing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStarr Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 you mean apart from all the fans you see on Sky Sports News claiming that Newcastle are a massive club! Sky Sports news deliberately search out the idiots and stick them in front of the camera. At the moment i don't think we are a massive club, but i do think we have the potential to be a massive club. I think if we get a good owner in who will hire the right manager, and give him some proper backing, we could become the club that we know we can be/used to be.

1980Dan Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It would be good to have the facility to try and 'talk' the board into doing/not doing something rather than a simple request or ultimatum choice. Certainly when they accept bids for players, ultimately its their decision, but it would be useful to be able to show your disappointment, or request a re-think. This could also be integrated with the media aspect of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamenaglar Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 This interference is silly. All the boar do is sell players for under their realistic value. What about rejecting bids they feel are unfair, what about bringing in their own players etc. I want to see more of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Having board members or chairman as actual clickable people (like any other staff or players) so you can see some attributes for them would be a start. More board interaction is always fun though - more possibilities to talk my way into getting sacked Re: Big clubs - if you take what you see on Sky Sports News as a balanced view of what normal fans think you'll have a very skewed view of football! Sure you get some normal fans walking past the stadium or going to protest when Keegan gets pushed out, but in general it's the fanatics who are hanging around where Sky Sports reporters grab them for an interview! As far as I'm concerned a big club is a club with a big stadium Thus lots of big clubs in Germany that play well down the leagues! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
