Finance management

[nikeddy]

greater management of club finances, with marketing, sponsors, stadium creation, tickets and season tickets

 

 is the new and most important addition to the game, so as to be real managers.

[CFuller]

Are there any professional football managers anywhere who negotiate with sponsors, set ticket prices and/or design the club's stadium?

Your suggestions would be more suited to a 'Football Chairman' game, which is an avenue SI have said frequently that they don't plan to go down.

I think it would be an excellent implementation, you would feel the team much more "yours" and you would have a more complete management 

[Shead]

Ok the game isnt Football Chairman but it needs to strike a good balance between reality and fun factor with the latter being well favoured. Otherwise for example, when managing Italian sides, they can literally switch off transfer market negotiations, player contract negotiations, certain staff selection such as scouts, etc (because its all in the hands of the directors of the club) which would clearly kill a good chunk of the fun in the game. When playing the game the fun part is feeling the club is "yours" and being to develop it over time with your own ideas etc. Restricting the role solely to training, player selection and tactics would be boring over time. And lets not discount the fact that some managers such as Ferguson probably did actually have a say on ticket prices, club stadium etc etc so I think the game should use Ferguson as its 'role model' for the role offered to us.

exact. 

in next fm, It is essential, after years, to include the complete management of the team, especially the financial part.
