jordan199936 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It would be good to be able to become a chairman of a football club or maybe buy a football club after you retire instead of just doing nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powermonger Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Do you mean as a passive role? As in your manager carries on in game but is AI controlled? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would literally be doing nothing but press continue. Technically it's not doing nothing, but it's going to be damn boring. You've suggested nothing at all to change that.

Nothing to do. No features. It's just "become a chairman". Okay, so I become a chairman. Now what? On the flip side, to make this even remotely interesting, would require quite a lot of additions. That's a lot of cost/man hours for a feature that not many will use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan199936 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Well i thought people that play football manager would know stuff about football so i thought that people would not need to be told what a football chairman does. It doesnt take alot of thinking to work it out and you might not be interested in it but other people will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pinned thread clearly reads: "Unless of course it's a request for the game to become 'Football Chairman', allow the manager to spend their own money or to do any other task a Football Manager simply would never do." You're suggesting that SI think of reasons to implement the thing they don't want to implement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan199936 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Well they could atleast be open to the idea in the future the game is eventualy going to get boring considering not much really changes every year its pretty much the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen one user make an in depth attempt to suggest features & game play for a Chairman mode and he could only come up with maybe an hours worth of game play then nothing.

You would literally be doing nothing but press continue. TBH that's basically what you do anyway in FM, all you would be doing is swapping player lists for food menus and the like. Imagine having to decide what cleaning company to hire to clean the toilets or having to deal with HRMC when you fail to pay your staff the minimum wage, it would be so exciting. Something that would make it even more thrilling would be the ability to embezzle money and fiddle the tax Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan199936 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Exactly i mean you cant even chose a specific kind of training you want to do all you can do is attacking training or defending training etc they would do much more in depth trining than that then u might buy a few player pick a team and watch about 50 games before you do the same thing again the season after Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman is to manage Company Club. It's so different.. there so many Chairman can't do in this game. So it will be so pointless.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhHoopedOne Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I remember once, in FM17, doing a staff search and coming across a player with coaching attributes but his preference was to become a chairman.

OhHoopedOne Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just out of interest. if you could become chairman of a club and you resigned from the role, how would you go about getting rid of your stake in that club and joining a new one? Also, how would you become chairman in the first place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
