Ryknow Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What is the prerequisite for this message to appear in my inbox? For those that don't know you can get a message in your inbox from your merchandising manager who states the total shirt sales for the year, domestically and non-domestically. Then he gives the top 5 best sellers (Player names). I think it occurs when the season finishes and switch over to the next, eg. When the season summary message comes out. I'm guessing its only cosmetic but I did a Google search and found it seems only people using top EPL clubs have seen it. Also, those who take smaller clubs to the top will see it after a while aswell. What I would like to know is why does it seem only top clubs get the message? Does the club need to have Continental or Worldwide rep for it to occur? For instance I'm at Rangers in Jan 2019, and I've yet to see it, despite all my success. Rep is still 'National' but we increased to 3 star rep, so I guess we need 4 stars? Anyone playing at a SPL club, or similar league level, seen this item?

kris0710 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Im with Cambridge in League One and for the last six seasons or so (i'm in 2025) I have had a note at the bottom of my monthly financial report telling me the club have sold x amount of shirts. I can't think that I've had a Top 5 sellers but to be honest I'm surprised I've sold 5 shirts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got saves with Borussia Monchengladbach, Ajax and Juventus, all three had this item. Each season again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 All those clubs would have Conintental rep though? I normally take screenshots of finance related messages and I've never seen this one. I get the update each month, but never the final sales figure and the top 5.

Ryknow Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just an update. The 2019/20 season finished and I got this message. My club rep is still National, but the SPL overtook the Championship in rankings. Not sure if it is club rep related, league rep related or both, or even club worth (Now over €200m)? Either way, I reached the point for the message to appear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 On a related note, 38,908 sounds like quite a low number of annual shirt sales for a club of that size, and with that fan base - Wikipedia implies that they have a global fan base of 5.5m.

Ryknow Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Totally agree, especially with our average attendance being around the 60k mark. Sure, not all buy jerseys but some buy two, three or four. Plus the thousands of people who don't or can't attend games. Then add the UCL performances, I'd expect far higher numbers. Either way we are doing fine in terms of money but good spot, I kind of just glazed over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I wish we could see which names were selling whenever we wanted, rather than having to wait until the end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla7 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Any chance of a answer from a dev or moderator on this topic. What is it that triggers the announcement of the top 5 sellers. And just to throw it out there I wish we could see which names were selling whenever we wanted, rather than having to wait until the end of the year. Totally support this, either as an update or to be included in the next fm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I've got Stirling Albion in the SPL and after signing feeder clubs in the US and Japan, and winning the Champions, we're only selling 18K/year. We started getting the merchandise updates once we signed the first feeder club for commercial purposes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevio36 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I never see that in my Southampton save,I just get how many sheets we have sold at the end of each months finance report. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Not all fans buy a shirt with a name on. Is that accounted for in the total sales? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
realtimshady Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm playing as Barcelona and have never seen the Top 5 players, so it seems unlikely it is strictly based on reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'm playing as Barcelona and have never seen the Top 5 players, so it seems unlikely it is strictly based on reputation. I've always assumed it was reputation based as with my Cambridge save i started getting the Top 5 rating as soon as i played in European Competition for the first time.

Scrumpy Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Maybe it depends on the nation of the league you're managing in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Not all fans buy a shirt with a name on. Is that accounted for in the total sales? As it doesn't mention the sales totals for shirts with names, but just gives a complete figure, one would assume a) yes b) it doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
