Chairman Game – The Premier League Edition
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".
To play, you must meet the following criteria
1) You MUST have a copy of Football Manager 2020. 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!
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 (will discuss fee’s for this down below)
2) Manager transfers 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:
2,500,000 per 1,000 seating increase, Max of 5,000 a season
2,500,000 for a minor improvement to your youth system.
2,500,000 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
This is the format I want transfers to be sent to me with a couple of examples
Type – Player – Current Club – New Club – Fee – Wage
C2C – Jamie Vardy – Leicester – Arsenal - £30mil - £140k
FGN – Lionel Messi – Barcelona – Man Utd - £219mil - £3.6mil
If transfers are not sent in this format then I will not note them down. This may sound strict but it can take hours to go through all the transfers sent in and correct them if they are not sent in properly, so I do this to make sure the game runs quickly.
I have put all the rules on transfers in to one table to make it easier to look at. If anything is not clear then let me know and I can clarify it.

Type | Max allowed | Minimum Fee | Wage | Decision | 2nd Decision |
C2C | No Limit | TBD | x1 | None | None |
DOM | 3 | x2 value* | x2* | Fee | Fin last season |
FGN | 2 | x3 value* | x3* | Fee | Fin last season |
FREE | 1 | N/A | TBD | Wage | Fin last season |
EXP | 1 | N/A | TBD | Wage | Fin last season |
MGR | 1 | Rep x2mil | Editor | FCFS | |
MGR FREE | 1 | None | Editor | FCFS | |
TBD - To be decided by you
FCFS - First Come First Serve
Rep x2 - Star reputation x 2mil. e.g. 4star manager is 4 x 2mil = 8mil
Editor - When I move a manager, the editor changes their wages. Whatever it changes it to is what I will leave their wage to be
* - If the player is transfer listed then the minimum fee is the transfer listed price and the wages are x1
Anything else that isn't clear let me know and I will try to clear up.
Loans
Each club will be allowed 2 loan signings per season at 100% of the players wages.
If you are loaning from a non-chairman club, the player must be loan listed in the game.
