Intro
This is my first attempt at a Chairman game and have decided to replicate a previous game created by Mkmillwall, which unfortunately never got going. You will be responsible for creating a brand new franchise in North America which will include the appointment of staff and a starting roster. As the chairman you will then be responsible for setting budgets, changing managers, making transfers etc. Once I have confirmed changes you are free to announce them via the thread.
Dodge Premier League:
Positions will be allocated on a first come basis, so the first 11 people to sign up will start in the Premiership and the next 10 will be in the Championship. There will also be an FA Cup and Community Shield equivalent.
Joining the Game
1) To sign up you must have a copy of FM15.
2) If you join you agree to put some effort into your press releases. If you won't be able to spare a few minutes to write a proper post then don't bother to sign up.

Choosing starting roster - Auction style
I have decided that the best way to assign the starting players and personnel, for the new franchises would be via an auction.
Once all the places in the game have been filled and the franchises created, I will choose a number of top division sides from across Europe and the players will be put up for auction. You will then be given a transfer budget to assemble your team. The players will then be drawn in rounds, most likely based on position and you will have to send your bids to me, with the highest bidder getting the player.
There will also be a number of rounds involving American Players as the one rule is that there must be at least 8 nation grown players in your side.
I will explain this in more detail once all the places have been taken! There will also be a round for managers and youth teams

Rules
(Pretty much copying Disclaimer 89's - so thank you!)
Playing the game(Pretty much copying Disclaimer 89's - so thank you!)
General
1) You may sack your manager, or any other member of staff, at any time. Doing so will require you pay the remainder of their contract in full.
2) Signing a manager from another team will require you to pay a compensation value of the remainder of their contract. The new managers wage will be his current wage he was on plus 25% If it is a human controlled team you must agree a compensation fee. If you wish to promote from within then the unemployed rules apply. If the manager you wish to sign is unemployed, here is the key:
Worldwide: Your current managers wage x3
Continental x2.5
National and below x2
3) You may set your transfer & wage budgets to whatever you like, (for your AI manager) but if you put them too high you run the risk of your club having financial problems in the future, so I advise against going too high.
4) Facilities may be upgraded at any time, however at a cost:
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.
I may allow stadiums to be upgraded in future seasons, but not initially. Any upgrades done will come directly out of your bank balance. Please PM me if you want to have an upgrade. A minor upgrade is 1+.
5) I will be uploading the save game file every transfer window. The results/updates will be posted on the thread (monthly- game time).
Transfers
First of all:
There are 5 different types of Signings:
-C2C (Chairman to Chairman)
-DOM (domestic - MLS and lower and USA Nationals)
-FOR (Foreign)
-FORu18 -(Foreign under 18 - youth signing)
-FREE (Free signings)
These are all explained in detail below
1) To sign a player from another team in your league you must contact the Chairman of that club pm via and agree a value with them. You can then calculate their wage using one of 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.
2) The number of players that you can sign is limited to the following:
C2C
Transfers between clubs in the league - Unlimited
Loans between clubs in the league - 2
DOM
Transfers from clubs within the MLS and lower and USA Nationals - 2

FORu18

5)PM me the player that you want to sign on a free transfer. Then at the end of the transfer window I will put them all in the thread and there will be a blind auction. By that I mean every Chairman can submit contracts to the players, these offers will be sent to me via PM. After the auction has finished the players will join the team that offers him the highest wage.
6) You may release any players from their contract at any time, but will have to pay the remainder of their contract to do so.
7) 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 Chairman in the league then I will set them as transfer listed in the game, this does not guarantee that they will be sold however.
