What is a chairman game
For those who don't know what a Chairman game is, it's essentially a game where 20 people become the chairmen of all the 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.


Chairman Monopoly
Europe is ran by teams dominating there domestic leagues
Italy has Juventus, Germany with Bayern, France have PSG and Scotland with Celtic
Its time for this to end!


Starting the Game with any Serie A team we will first try to take over Serie A but its better than that. All you need to do if finish ahead of Juventus and you will unlock the 2nd league, Germanys Bundesliga where after guiding a team to finish ahead of Bayern you can move onto France to take down PSG before finishing off in Scotland by ending Celtics dominance.


The name of this game however is Monopoly so its not just about beating the dominant force then move on to the next country, you will keep ownership of your previous team so you could end up having control of Inter Milan, Dortmund, Lyon and Rangers with the ultimate goal of winning all 4 domestic leagues in the same season so clearly its important to get through the leagues quickly to get the pick of the teams.


There is one pretty big catch in that if your team falters and for 2 seasons in a row finish behind the dominant team you will be forced to give up ownership and will have to either pick a new team in that division or leave the nation till you choose to return. EG you loose Inter and have to pick up any of the uncontrolled Serie A teams



To Play
1) To sign up you must have a copy of FM18. This is because I will be running my game on so you need the same version to ensure that transfers are done correctly.


2) You must be able to regularly check the thread for updates. I plan on posting


. End of August Update only
. Post the save on January 1st for the transfer Window for 48 hours
. End of Season Update and request players team transfers ect for the next season, Player Transfers 48 or 72 hours



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 there current manager. They cant 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.
Buying a unowned stadium will cost £1m per 1000 seats


5 - INVACTIVITY WARNING
If you go through a whole season without any posts ect for a whole season i will message you before the final table update and a failure to reply will lead to you loosing your team and we'll for a new manager to take you spot



Transfer rules

First of all:
There are 7 different types of Signings:


-MON Monopoly transfers - Transfers between all the teams you directly control
-C2C (Chairman to Chairman): Basically signings between controlled teams.
-DOM (domestic - CPU controlled and lower league teams)
-FGN (Foreign): Signing players from abroad,
-u18 -(Aged 18 or under)
-EXP -(Pre Contracts arranged in January)
-FREE (Free signings)



1) To sign a player from player controlled team you must contact the Chairman of that club and agree a value with them. You can then calculate their wage using the rules below.
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.

If more than 1 club bids for a player in a the FGN, U18s & DOM deal it goes to the club with the league position in the most recent full season and the loosing club will get a second shot to use the slot on another

2 PRE CONTRACTS "EXP"

Each club has 2 expiring contract offers (EXP) spots on there team. You can use it on ALL PLAYERS in the final 6 months of a contract.




3) The price & number of players that you can sign is limited per season to the following:


Monopoly Transfers 2x Players Value
Transfers - 2 per team
Loans - 3


C2C - Agreed by chairmen
Transfers - Unlimited
Loans - 1


DOM 1.5x Player Value
Transfers -2


FGN - 2x player value
Transfers - 3
Loans from foreign clubs - 1


U18 2x Player Value
Transfers - 3

EXP
Offers per season - 2
You just need to enter what wages you will offer. Highest bid wins

FREE
Free signings - 3 per season
You just need to enter what wages you will offer. Highest bid wins


NOTE: If a player is transfer-listed for a particular value in game or has a release clause, it is possible to sign said player by paying the required amount. If both a transfer fee and release clause exist, the player can be signed by paying the lesser of the two amounts.

Loans
All loans will be for 3 per season at 100% wages. 1*FGN, 1*DOM, 1*C2C
Player must be either loan listed or be back up or worse in his squad status. No loaning Messi for the year!

You can cancel 1 loan a season, C2C loans must be agreed that both sides want to cancel before and agreement ends


Player Wages
Ages 20 or under = x1.5 current wage
Aged 21-30 = x1.5 current wage
International players aged 21-30 = x2 current wage
Ages 30+ = x1.25 current wage
Chairman & Monopoly sales - No change

Managers

Unemployed managers rate based on reputation
World wide or Continental - Current managers rate x2
National and below - Current managers rate x1.5

If the AI sacks a manager then you will be able to choose a replacement or resign the old manager at the January or summer transfer window.


Transfer template to complete, Must be filled in for EVERY transfers you plan to make, if two teams make a offer the team with the highers rep will always win

Template
Transfer Type - Player Name - Current Team - New Team - New Wage - Transfer Fee


E'G
Trf Type - Player Name - Current Team - New Team - New Wage -Transfer Fee
FGN - Saul - Atletico Madrid - Inter - £42m




Selling
If you wish to sell players then you need to post them in the thread as available. Other Chairmen can then make offers for them if they wish. If they are not sold to another Chairmen in the league then I will set them as transfer listed in the game, this does not guarantee that they will be sold however.


Post your interest and Serie A team of choice and we'll see how we get on. Maximum of 10 players as the SPL is only 12 teams, Celtic is one and i'd like to one day control the other

I am very open to making changes,additions or cuts to the rules as i've jut copied the base rules that are used in chairman saves but made changes i think will make it a better save

I'd be interested in taking Lazio please. Great idea bud. If interest grows you could always replace the Scottish league with Portugal or Holland to allow more players

Yes! So glad you're starting a chairman game, I had tried my own for the last FM I think and it went pretty well but was a lot of work, glad to hear you're willing to do that yourself XD I'll take Napoli if they're still available!
 
This sounds like a different kind of chairman game. Hopefully it runs longer than the other chairman games this year. I'll take AC Milan if they are still available.

Is the in-game editor the one you have to buy or the one you can download in the tools section of Steam? I can't remember. I have the in-game editor though so if it turns out you don't have it, I could help you run it? will just have to go over all the rules again before I do tho to make sure I don't mess it up hahaha!

All is well guys and the save is created and ready to add the chairmen
 
Ive never taken part in a chairman game, but id take SPAL
 
Klippybo has taken Atalanta so were down to 3 spots left till we can get going. Obviously the more the merrier but lets try and get the final 3 players involved by tomorrow night as i will be home by 5 and could have the save online ready for the new owner posts and opening of the transfer window!
 
One spot left so even if its not filled by tonight i will upload the save and start the game.

After that you have a few jobs to do once you've looked at your squad

1 Introduce yourselfs to each other. Quick post about your team, squad and targets for your first season. Also why you chose the team in question

2 in the same post list the players you want to transfer from your club for the other players to see. Dont worry if you cant shift them I'll transfer list them before Simming July and August.

3 Finally you will have roughly 48 hours to send me the transfers you want to make happen. The sooner there all in the sooner we can start. There will also be an additional 24 hours for any player that has been out bidded by a bigger team for a player. You will ONLY be allowed to add players for the slots you were beaten in. So if you wanted 1 FGN transfer and missed out you will not get to used the other unused slots till January.

When i post the link to the saves your club balance will also be posted.

The first window will have transfers done on the game start date, July 3rd. Then you decide how much of the remaining money is the managers to spend, if any. You cannot overspend your balance!

Everyone happy with this? Any questions?
 
Samp

Hi Guys,

I'd be interested in getting involved. If Sampdoria are still available i'll take them. 1st time playing a Chairman game mode, so may need a bit of help from time to time.

:)
 
Brilliant. Will get it set up once I'm home from work. If anyone else wants to join feel free! There's a low chance that everyone will still be involved in 4 seasons time and thats assuming we all get a new club every season
