Taking from Ollie's original idea, I have decided to create a user-driven 'Chairman' game where each user is allocated a club and becomes the chairman, with this brings important decisions that need to be made, such as allocating transfer budgets and employing new managers. The game will start of solely in the English Premiership but I may look to expand this if all goes well.
I will start a Football Manager save and regularly update this thread with finances, player information, match results and more. I'm thinking of a time-scale like a month in the game - a day in real life. I will also regularly post screenshots of the league table and other information if requested.
As the chairman, you are responsible for a number of things;
Allocating Transfer and Wage budgets (% of transfer fees made available also applies)
Assessing your team's manager's position, which includes sacking and seeking to employ new managers
Keeping a close eye on transfer activity. If you want to personally sign a player, you can do so, but must co-operate with fellow chairmen if you wish to sign a player from another team in the English Premiership
Upgrading Youth and Training facilities (Prices depend on the level you wish to upgrade to)
Upgrading your team's stadium or building a new stadium (Again, prices will be negotiated to keep it as realistic as possible)
A few rules apply, but it's really just common sense. If you are Blackpool and Alex Ferguson is a free agent, you won't be able to sign him. If you are a big club such as Chelsea and wish to sign a player from a 'lesser' team, the player will receive a wage rise and vice versa. Everything is negotiated between users so that all decisions are fair.
As the chairman of your club, you can place any of your players on the transfer list (in-game and also on this thread) and make bids for any players in the English Premiership.
You can also 'buy out' another team which means that you then become chairman of that team, a fee has to be agreed buy the buyer and seller and the seller moves to the buyer's old club and the money they were paid goes into their new club's balance.
If you want a manager from another club, a compensation package must be agreed by both parties.
We will be playing with the latest forbsie and chris update, so Blackpool, Newcastle and West Brom replace Burnley, Portsmouth and Hull City.
Each chairman will be expected to post regular updates on their teams in the form of press releases, commenting on their team's recent performances, manager's standing and transfer targets, this is to keep all other chairmen 'in the know' and it also adds a little realism to the game.
Long periods of inactivity will result in exclusion from the game.
If this goes well, I might set up a website with a forum dedicated to this so we can run a few different leagues.
The teams will be drawn at random, to sign up just PM me with your full name and I will randomly choose everyone's teams when we have 20 users.
Thanks,
Dan.
The teams available are:
Birmingham
Blackburn
Bolton
Everton
Stoke
Sunderland
When I have 6 more people I will draw the teams randomly (the others have already been assigned)
