jw5511986 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 In my longest recent game I've had the following takeovers: ------- Melbourne Heart by Austria Tycoon Gernot Temmel. Team value is 33.5 million pounds. Spent basically no money and just finished last in the A League in his first year. Grenoble by Australia Tycoon Melvin Robertson. Team value is 58 million pounds. Consistently spend 18-20 million pounds a season and finish in the 5th-9th range. FK Indjija of Serbia by English Tycoon Danny Hall. Team value is 32.5 million pounds. In his first full season spent 6 million pounds and are on pace to finish between 11th and 14th in a 16 team league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranquelme Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Birmingham got taken over by a tycoon from the Czech Rep. They spent £50m finished 4th when they were relegation candidates the season prior. They knocked out PSG in the qualifiers, PSG who had reached two finals in the last two years, losing one (against Lyon PK shootout) and beating me in the other one, PSG were probably the best team in the game along with my Inter. That wasn't the end of the shocks. Birmingham got a easy group bar Real Madrid (who they beat twice!) and knocked former champions Lyon out in the last 16, they then went out in a PK shootout to Hoffenhiem in the quarter finals. They finished 3rd the season just gone thanks to winning at the City of Manchester 3-0 on the last day of the season. I anticipate them causing more shocks.

jackripper Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 a good way is to go to richets clubs and look for teams who you think shouldnt be high in the list. go to the clubs landmarks and check in there to see if they have been taken over by a tycoon.

Matt_no_7 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 In my current game Aston Villa were taken over by at Tycoon in 2014/15 season. While they haven't won anything major (think they won the league cup) yet it's defo on the horizon. Simon Grayson is in charge of them and they are starting to challenge my Leeds United side and Manchester City by finishing 3rd behind the both of us in the last two seasons (10 and 6 points off the top in those seasons). I'm in 2017/18 at the moment and while they sit 6th (and in the last 16 of the Champions League due to face Real Madrid) i'm in January and 5 points seperates 1st from 7th. 1. Spurs 2. Man City 3. Man Utd 4. Leeds 5. Chelsea 6. Aston Villa 7. Everton (Arsenal and Liverpool have totally meltdown) Villa are spending like 50-60m per season and Yaya Sanogo (the record signing) bagged 32 in the league last season and already has 17 this season. Think Spurs may have also had a take over as they threw a bit of cash around in the summer but i'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSpur Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 In mine Villa got taken over by a megarich Russian, they got to semi finals and finished 2nd in the league but couldn't topple my team and he withdrew his funding. A season later Stoke got taken over by a megarich Mexican, same deal.. semis, finals vs me, 2nd in the league to me, withdrew his funding. I'm dreading the time when my team gets taken over. In previous games it's happened and wiped off half the value of the club i'd built up, taken away most of the money i'd accrued and cut links to the clubs i'd been using to send players on loan. Killed my interest in that save completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPass Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm half way through season 6 with Forest in the Prem. Spurs won the Prem in season 5 by just a point from me. In season 6 they were taken over by an English tycoon who provided about 140mil for transfers. The manager hasn't had chance to slash the cash as the money came in after the transfer window closed and it hasn't re-opened yet. To be honest they don't need it as they've got a great squad, although in season 6 they have slumped to around 14th with about 18 games gone. Arsenal have also had consortiums sniffing around them for ages but nothing final has happened. Every so often they have a transfer embargo and then the deal collapses a month or two later. I think Palermo were taken over. In the last couple of seasons they've spent a fortune on players and keep trying to poach mine! In a previous version I managed Mansfield to the Premier League. When I got into the Championship we were taken over but no money was provided. I didn't need it for transfers but a new stadium might have been useful!

Things Could Get Messi Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 best 1 i saw was stafford rangers got a tycoon in 2016, while struggling in the blue square north. they reached the premier league in 2025. in future years they finished 5th 3 times, won 1 fa cup and runner up once and twice runner up of the league cup. best european performance was semi finals of the euro cup where they lost to ac milan. sadly in 2045 after 20 years of top flight football they were relegated and now sit midtable in the championship and are currently around 30m in the red with a big debt. they could easily spiral back down the leagues from this situation.

laBOMBA Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Not my team, but it happened in my savegame that 2nd tier Swedish club Syrianska FC got taken over by a Swiss tycoon. They now rule the Swedish competition. When I joined Arsenal in my game in 2036, they had an Italian tycoon in charge and it took Arsenal to the richest club in the world, and winning Premiership titles like it was going out of fashion. I remember there was also a lower league team that got a tycoon, I think it was Wealdstone that reached the BSP by then. I believe the tycoon was from Columbia. I'll have to check again on that one.

Next day after I joined, I got the message that 5m were invested into the finances, mind you I didn't know what I was getting into, as the club's value was under 500k I think. Then I looked at the staff and Chairman + Directors were Greek After that, money was frequently invested, I didn't look up if it was tycoon, but everything points to that.
