Chairman Game – Conquering the Premier League
EVEN IF YOU HAVE PLAYED A CHAIRMAN GAME BEFORE, PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS FIRST POST ON THE THREAD TO FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH HOW I WILL RUN A CHAIRMAN GAME!
What is a chairman game?
For those who don't know what a chairman game is, it's essentially a game where people become the chairmen of clubs in one league, and they become responsible for setting budgets, changing managers, making key transfers, and managing certain aspects of the club. Everybody who takes part will run their changes through me, I will confirm when/if they are OK and edit them into the game, and then that chairman can announce what they have done in the thread via a "Press Release".
Conquering the Premier League
The basic premise of this game is that 14 out of 20 Premier League clubs will be available to be taken over and molded into your own club. The 6 that are not available the teams seen as the ‘big 6’ which are Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and Tottenham. The challenge will be to over throw these teams and to then make sure you stay at the top by being above these guys and every other chairman club.
To play, you must meet the following criteria

To play, you must meet the following criteria
[*=center]You MUST have a copy of Football Manager 2019. This is because I will be running my game on this game so you need the same version to ensure that transfers are done correctly.
2) You MUST be able to regularly come onto this site and check the thread for updates.
3) You MUST contribute. Please don't sign up to play and then never post or respond to anyone's messages...there may be someone on the waiting list who wants to play and will be active!
[*=center]
[*=center]Updates
My plan will be to give 3 or 4 days for updates and transfers to be done and to then spend a day implementing transfers and then simming forward. It should mean we get through a season every week roughly. This may be quicker or slower depending on my own work so at the start of every transfer window I will announce when it closes.
General Rules
1) You may sack your manager after any update. Doing so will require you pay the remainder of their contract in full.
2) Unemployed managers are first come first serve.
If your manager gets sacked - If this happens the owner will get the choice on the next appointment or keeping their current manager. They can't poach another players manager but can buy them similar to a C2C deal if both managers can agree a fee!
3) You can set your transfer & wage budgets to whatever you like, (for your AI manager)
4) Facilities may be upgraded at any time, however at a cost:
1,000,000 per 1,000 seating increase, Max of 5,000 a season
2,500,000 for a minor improvement to your youth system.
3,000,000 for a minor improvement to your training facilities.
2,500,000 for a minor improvement to your Junior Coaching.
2,500,000 for a minor improvement to your Youth recruitment.
5) INACTIVITY WARNING
If you go through a whole season without any posts etc. I will message you before the final table update and a failure to reply will lead to you losing your team and that club becoming available to other managers.
Transfer rules
First of all:
There are 4 different types of signings:
-C2C (Chairman to Chairman): Basically signings between controlled teams.
-TRANSFER: Basically, a signing from any other non C2C club
-EXP: Pre Contracts arranged in January
-FREE; Free signings of unattached players
1) C2C: To sign a player from player controlled team you must contact the Chairman of that club and agree a value with them.
Both Chairmen will then need to PM me with the agreed amount and quote the message showing you have agreed the transfer/loan, and once I have confirmed it then you can announce the transfer.
C2C transfers are unlimited during every window! C2C transfers should be sent in the following format...
Transfer Type - Player - Old Club - New Club - Fee
C2C – Jamie Vardy – Leicester City - Everton - £30 million
2) TRANSFER: I have grouped together the U18, FGN and DOM transfers normally used in a Chairman game, so now you can go for all DOM players or all FGN or all U18 - whatever you want! Transfers will be done on a bidding system with minimum bids required - basically, YOU MUST bid a minimum transfer fee of 2x that player's value! However, your maximum bid can be whatever you want it to be...the highest bid will win that player!
I will not be messaging you to let you know if you've been outbid, so it means you need to think about how badly you want a player and how much you are willing to offer to get them as you will be going in blind and won't find out if you've 'won' that player until the end of that transfer window and I announce it!
TRANSFER transfers are limited to five permanent signings EVERY WINDOW (NOT EVERY SEASON)...However, you may send me a MAXIMUM of 7 bids, so if you miss out on 2 players, you will have backups!
The format to send me your bids, needs to come in the order of preference for that player, so bid 6 and 7 are your backups in case you miss out on any of your top 5 targets. See example below of how to send me transfers...
1. TRANSFER - LIONEL MESSI - BARCELONA - £300 MILLION
2. TRANSFER - LUIS SUAREZ - BARCELONA - £250 MILLION
3. TRANSFER - CRISTIANO RONALDO - JUVENTUS - £200 MILLION
and so on....
The total of your 7 bids combined MAY NOT exceed your overall budget! Also, you do not have to send 7 bids, you can just send 1 if you want to! 7 is just the maximum!
If two chairmen bid exactly the same amount for the same player, then the one that has them ranked higher in their list will get that player!
If two chairman bid exactly the same amount for the same player and they both have them listed in their rankings the same (e.g. both at number 3 and both bid £50 million for the same player), then the preference goes to the chairman who finished LOWEST in the league in the previous season!
3) FREE: Each of you has 1x FREE transfer each season and it will be whoever offers the highest wage that gets the player.

4) EXP: January Window contract offers to players whose contract is expiring at the end of that season! This is the same as the FREE transfers rules. From previous games, these are the transfers that have helped people push to the top very quickly, so to try and combat that I will be limiting to just one player per season. That should hopefully make these types of transfers more realistic.
Loans
Each club will be allowed 3 loan signings per season at 100% of the players wages.
If you are loaning from a non-chairman club, the player must either be loan listed be seen as backup or worse in his squad status.
Wages
Players wages need to be calculated in the following way
Age 20 and under – x3 current wage
Age 21 – 25 – x2 current wage
Age 26 – 30 – x1.5 current wage
Age 31+ - No change
C2C transfers – No change
I don’t believe I have missed any rules off of here but if I have then I will post updates in the thread and update this first post as well.
As far as picking teams go, it is first come first served so post on this thread who you would like, and I will add you to the list below. (For those who posted in TNSSO thread about wanting clubs, I have added you in already, but can you post on here that you are still interested in taking over that club so that I can offer that club to somebody else if you are not).
General Rules
1) You may sack your manager after any update. Doing so will require you pay the remainder of their contract in full.
