AcidBurn Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/04112010/58/billionaire-invests-non-league-side-bedlington.html Just seen this obviously as it says there will not be millions to spend on players however it does sound like the owner may ease some of the costs of running a football club. How would this be implemented into FM? The guy has the resources but will not be spending loads of cash would that even count as a sugar daddy of some sort?

ChewyFun Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 He didn't explicitly say he wanted it in-game, he said 'how would it' be implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePott Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Does it really matter? Its basically a way of saying whens it in the game? Like i said, are they even in it? I'm out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Jesus! That was only today the news came out and you want it in the game already? Where do I say that I want it in the game? I know it will not be in the game being as the game is out tomorrow and has already been sent to the stores. I was asking so I could edit the database myself, I know there are different types of sugar daddy and wondered if this counted as one of them.

Its basically a way of saying whens it in the game? Like i said, are they even in it? I'm out. Read the OP again, not once has he asked if its in the game, he asks 'how would it be implemented'. Which actually makes for a decent question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 What a save game it would make though, 9th tier with a billionaire! With the 'down to 11th tier' file coming sometime in the near future, I might implement this myself using the database/editor and play as them! Could be a bit of fun.

ChewyFun Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Maybe the owner in FM would act as an Underwriter (not sure if that's the correct word, feel free to correct me!), basically ridding the debts but not giving a huge transfer budget. I think that exists in the game already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Under writer sugar daddy, I imagine. He'll pick up the bill, but he won't increase the starting bank balance. ChewyFun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Macklam Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks for that AcidBurn. I just put him into my game after looking him up on Google and then Wikipedia to get his place of birth etc. Made him very good at business and resources with a love for Bedlington Terriers. Then added him as the chairman of them. Though I won't be using any non league teams first game it will be interesting to see how they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more of a philanthropic interest for him and a bit of publicity. He is richer than John Henry and the Glazers mind.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knob McDude Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Bob Rich lives 15 minutes from me, here in a suburb of Buffalo, New York. (I'm only a hundredaire though) He has a great reputation, and many local fans have always wished he'd purchase our Buffalo Bills. (American Football) Buffalo is an underdog city, and we love rooting for the 'dogs around here. I'm happy for the fans of Bedlington. I'm interested in seeing how people would represent his contribution, in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyMpOsIuM Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Whitley fan in peace mate, what do you reckon will happen to the Terriers now? Went down for both Vase finals with our chairman, cracking games! Chow won me £25 with the first goal, woo! We've been progressing very well both on and off the field recently, with the upgrades in the ground and players we have. We hope the marketing aspect in the states will help us improve merchandise sales, infact it has done massively so far today with the webshop selling out of most home shirts!

ism-scfc Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Whitley fan in peace mate, what do you reckon will happen to the Terriers now? Same (sort of). I'm Stockport County through and through, but I get down to Hillheads when I can, as I have geordie heritage. Saw the Bay at Wembley both times (6-1!!!) We'll never win the league anyway, as Chan and the board are too focused on the vase, so I doubt it'll really matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvailableOnAFree Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Knob McDude, I'm from Amherst, NY. I have to say, when I heard the news this morning that Mr. Rich was going to be buying (or contributing to, whatever) Bedlington, I had to do a double-take. Just a bizarre series of events. Would have been nice if he had put that money towards the Buffalo Bills, but I can't pretend I'm too bothered. Not a big gridiron guy. I'll have to start following Bedlington now, if for no other reason than the local connection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
