Soviet tycoon takeover, are you for ****ing real?

Seriously, this is stupid, SI. Why does this happen?

russian oligarchs (aka Robber Barons) are multiferous and universally loaded. having *ahem plundered the wealth of the entire continent for over a decade. it makes sense that they would like to live it up in europe; especially Italy, the most corrupt beurocracy on the planet. why would one buying Internazionale be unrealistic? you are aware of the clubs history right? such as who founded it and why? :thup:

PS: not a good idea to swear in the topic title even pretend. mods will ave you.

PPS: I am a cretin.

I'm taking it that you didn't add the USSR flag yourself?

Les Girondins misses the point. The Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991!

hehe. I apologize for trying to be a spoddy pedant.

PS: go tell putin

I'm not telling Putin anything. I value my life!

Putins my uncle, I'll tell him myself lol

lol! there's me ranting about the Q&A and lack of courtesty on the forums ..

I shall of course commit suicide immediately.

Man City get taken over by a super rich arabian prince and Inter get taken over by a sovient! What has football come too!

Just told putin. He said that he would buy AC milan and make it a soviet rivalry

Todays headline:

Milan go's nuclear!

this thread could run and run ..

i'm trying to think of a good similie involving polonium 210.

(and failing miserably)

Tell Hicks and Gillett to take over AC Milan

now that would be cracking

In soviet russia, football team selects you.

Bang! Bang! Bang.....

Steward1: Whats happened!

Steward2: Oh just and pre-match chairmans meeting between Hicks and Putin!

Steward3: Run!!!!!!

Soviet Owners is weird enough...how about Soviet Owners who take over ...ALTRINCHAM!

Altrincham unveil there new stadium....

What a nuclear factory!

So what they've ressurected the Soviet union on FM?

I actually noticed on an older version, may of been 06 or 07 that there was an international friendly with West Germany involved.

you know, I might be imagining things, but I am almost certain this (soviet buyouts) was reported in FM 08 too.

anyone else remember this one coming up before?

The soviets are planning a political comeback,as they appeal to FM gamers through the new installment,FM09

Metal...Gear?

Conspiracy theories are afoot...

Metal...Gear?

Ha, is Vamp the Physio

This sums up how ridivulous it is.

We really should get our money back, this flag shouldnt even be in the game

So is this really alternate history and theres also a Soviet League and national team now? If this is the case i accept it as realistic as comeback of communism is around the corner anyway. ;-)

This sums up how ridivulous it is.

I think the reason that the flag is in the game is purely for the competition historys

For instance, the European Championship, which was won by USSR in 1960

I think the Yugosalavia flag is still in the game for this reason too....

Also, (going off FM2008 here) there are also a Great Britain and East German flags in the game, due to past success in some olympic games

Don't be stupid tg24 yes it might be unrealistic and shouldn't happen but its hardly gamebreaking is it.

It'll be a simple DB mistake most likely - a box that's ticked should be unticked, or vice versa.

the soviets are taking over inter and Altrincham............... very scary

be funny to hear someone from SI explain this new cold war

maybe george bush will buy ac milan? ah well as long as the russians don't offer him any sushi or if they decide to go native and slip it in the spaghetti bolognaise then there will not be an E-cold war on FM.

This sums up how ridivulous it is.

I think your post moreso sums up how ridiculous you are.

Most people can find this quite amusing, not a gamebreaker.

Bloody hell, some people.

That's the explanation IMO.

Ha, is Vamp the Physio

I doubt it, but I hear the stadium is being renamed Siro Grad.

It's rather ridiculous that FM still has trouble differentiating between countries which exist and don't exist, I remember signing a regen on CM 00/01 funnily enough for AC Milan, who was East German.

SI love their communism then.

I'm not bitter about Inter being both richer and better on the pitch, honest. I'm never going to catch up to them now!!
