postal postie Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 it may just be paper talk. the business man says one thing, that persuades the curent owners to sell to him and then he doesn't make the money available. or it may not be all in one lump sum. or it might not even go through. or it might and then your laughing all the way to the bank!

glamdring Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I imagine it would be somewhat of a challenge to actually spend even a fraction of that even if it did happen! (Without paying way over the odds for players just for the sake of spending money obviously!). The type of players who would want to go and play for Hibernian are unlikely to cost more than a couple of million anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well...it depends how it was worked. If he says he is making it available for transfers that may just mean that he finances those transfers as and when you buy the players. In that case you could have a bank balance of £2 million and transfer budget of £432 million so long as the chairman puts the money into the club when a transfer fee needs to be paid.

dap1987 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 in my game last night some millionaire took over Droylsden in the BSN and they had £8m in the bank and a transfer budget of £5.25m, they'll never be able to spend that much money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glamdring Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I doubt I'd do any better with that kind of cash than without it anyway (well...obviously if it is compared to £0 transfer funds I would, but not a very modest transfer budget like a couple of million). My past experiences of having lots of money to spend (many seasons into the Premiership in FM07 at Derby County) show me to be totally inept in the transfer market when money is no object. When I was building the squad from peanuts I was very shrewd in my signings and progressed nicely, but once we were rolling in cash I spent £49 million on a left-back (he was good, but not that good!) and bought various other expensive players who I didn't use, inc a midfielder for £20 million who played something like 10 games in 3 years before being released n a free!

MeekoHFC Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 No idea. Just purchased Wijnaldum for £2.3m. Anyone got any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy38 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have a large transfer budget, not 9 figures like this, but £55m, however I didn't really need to buy anyone new - the players were the same or better than in my title winning season and Arsenal just had Wenger retire, with no changes we'd still be most likely to win the title. I did find myself buying more youngsters though. Still have lots left though, just save it up if ya don't need it! Don't spend big just cos you can.

MeekoHFC Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Need one of the following. Its September but I can buy now and get them in for Jan 1st. GK can be any age, rest of the players preferably youngish. GK, DL, DM (definate), AMR, AML though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glamdring Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'd use scouts or player search function personally, but if you really want advice you should head for the Good Players forum rather than have people suggest them here. I like reading about Hibs, but don't especially want a whole load of player names thrown at me in case I ever manage them in FM09...mind you, if a takeover like this is a regular event (across many different saves of people's Hibs' games) I might not bother as it would take away a lot of my fun I think!

opul Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I had a takeover at ManU at the end of Season 1, which was great with their debt It is one of the nicest things that can possibly happen in FM I think worked for me and am glad to see that others get to experience that joy as well.
