In his first press interview Gandalf spoke very little about his ambitions with his new club and instead rambled about "The one ring" and "Middle Earth" from this we can assume he could afford such a prestigious club using funds from oil in the Middle East.

PREMIER LEAGUE CHAIRMAN GAME!

Hey guys... I've been championing for a Chairman game for a while now... One hasn't appeared and I understand people are busy... Well guess what... I'm going to attempt to do one myself. It will be a English Premier League Chairman Game and 19 slots will be available... (I intent to take part too).

You MUST Read the rules below before taking part...

THE RULES

1) To sign up you must have a copy of FM18. This is because I will be running my game on FM18 and 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 and follow the rules of the game. Failure to be active or repeatedly violating the rules of the game will see you being removed from it.

3) Before joining, read ALL of the rules posted below and make sure you understand ALL of the rules.

4) Lastly, remember guys, it is only a game. Please be respectful to everybody who has just as much right to be here as anybody else.

General Rules


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) If you are relegated you MAY take control of a promoted team.

3) Only realistic managerial appointments will be allowed, so it is not possible to being Zidane to Burnley. HOWEVER you may be unrealistic with other players managers(C2C -eg Mourinho to Burnley) IF you can agree a sum with the other player.

What is a realistic managerial appointment?: The reputation of the manager CANNOT be higher than the reputation of your team.

4) Signing a manager from another team will require you to pay a compensation value of the remainder of their contract. If it is a human controlled team you must agree a compensation fee.

5) 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.

6) 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 (definitely not for the first season). Any upgrades done will come directly out of your bank balance.

7) I will be uploading the save game file every transfer window. The results/updates will be posted on the thread (monthly- game time).

Transfer rules


This part is very important!

First of all:
There are 5 different types of Signings:

-C2C (Chairman to Chairman): Basically signings within the EPL.
-DOM (domestic - Championship and lower)
-FGN (Foreign): Signing players from clubs not in England.
-FORu18 -(Foreign under 18 - youth signing)
-FREE (Free signings)


1) To sign a player from another team in your league you must contact the Chairman of that club 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 - 3

DOM
Transfers from clubs in your nation, below your league - 2
Loans from Championship and lower - 2.

FGN
Transfers from foreign clubs - Maximum of 3 in the Summer, maximum of 2 in January.
Loans from foreign clubs - 2

FORu18
Transfers of youth players* from foreign clubs - Maximum of 2 in the Summer, maximum of 1 in January.
*A youth player is classified as a player aged 18 or under.

FREE
Free signings - 3 per season


Only 1 player can be loaned from any specific team. (for example you can't loan 3 Man City players. You can however sign 3 Man City players permanently). This rule is overridden by a parent/feeder club partnership which will be covered later.


3) The price of players is as follows:

Transfers between clubs in the league - Agreed between Chairmen
Transfers from clubs in your nation, below your league - 1.5 the players current value
Transfers from foreign clubs - 2 times the players current value!
Transfers of youth players from foreign clubs - Double the players current value IF they have not represented their nation.
3x times the players current value if they have represented their nation.

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.

4) Loan signings

-C2C(chairman to chairman) Loans may be arranged between clubs for free, no loan fee is allowed to be demanded. Percentage of wage covered can be set at anywhere from 0% to 100% and is to be discussed and negotiated between clubs.

- DOM(championship and lower) loans are: £250k loan fee and 100% wages.


-FGN(foreign) loans are set at 100% wages £250k loan fee and 100% wages.


Note: To sign FGN/DOM/U18 players on loan, the player needs to either be unhappy at his current club or has a squad status of Rotation or below.


6)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.

7) You may release any players from their contract at any time, but will have to pay the remainder of their contract to do so.

8) 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.

​

Hi mate, i didnt see the wage formula listed is this the one we are using?

Wages

(Wages for players in a C2C transfer remain frozen for the first season)

1) This is quite complicated, so please read it carefully.
The wages that players will be signed on will vary depending on the player you're signing and the club that you're at.
Predicted League Position of 1st to 6th:
Player aged 18 of less - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with less than 10 international caps - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with more than 10 international caps - 2 times current wage
Players aged 33 or over - 1.5 times current wage

Predicted League Position of 7th to 11th
Players aged 18 or less - 1.5 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with less than 10 international caps - 1.5 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with more than 10 international caps - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 33 or over - 1.25 times current wage

Predicted League Position of 12th to 20th
Players aged 18 or less - 1.25 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with less than 10 international caps - 1.25 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with more than 10 international caps - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 33 or over - Same as current wage

IMPORTANT: The above wages are the MINIMUM wages that you can offer a player. You could offer a value greater than what you get from this calculation; this would ensure you have a better chance of getting the player. Use your own discretion when doing so.

ANNOUNCEMENT AT ST.JAMES PARK - NEWCASTLE

Finally Mike Ashley is gone. He has sold out but not to Amanda Staveley - oh no. Not to any former footballer and not even to Ant and Dec. The new chairman of Newcastle United is.............

MISTER BEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

In one of the strangest press conferences ever Mister Bean, with his vice chairman teddy bear, who arrived in his mini and parked it on the centre circle, only grunted and made funny sounds to every question while at the same time knocking over microphones and cups of water and generally causing havoc. Nobody knows why he has taken over. Rumours are rife on Tyneside but it has emerged how some of the takeover was funded.............

He has been warmly welcomed in the city of Newcastle - after all he isn't Mike Ashley.............

New Chelsea Boss

BRENT TO TAKE OVER AT CHELSEA

In a shock appointment at Chelsea football club, documentary star David Brent has taken over the reigns as Chairman from the outgoing Roman Abramovic.

The Russian multi billionaire is said to have let the club go in a cut price deal, after becoming bored with his London project over recent years. David Brent has managed to rally together some wealthy investors through his connections in the paper industry and has replaced the Abramovic. It's also rumored that Brent has made a lot of money sueing ex employers and TV producers who he claims made him look a 'pratt' on hit shows like The Office and the documentary movie, Brent:Life on The Road.

In today's rather strange press conference, Brent was keen to talk predominantly about himself and failed to really answer any questions about the future of the club. One female journalist asked Brent what the Chelsea fans can expect under his rule, with his response being to ask her 'how old she thinks he is?'. When she responded with 'about 45', Brent clearly took offence was visibly annoyed and asked her if she was joking.....despite the fact he is actually older than that!

When asked if he would be looking to keep Antonio Conte on as manager, Brent again didn't give a straight answer, claiming that nobody knows more about football than him, prompting him to ask those in attendance to name any footballer in the world and he would give them an interesting fact about them.

Brent went on to say that he doesn't want anyone at the club to see him as just their boss....When asked what he meant by that, Brent simply said he was an entertainer first and a boss second. The new chairman confirmed he'll be visiting the dressing room on matchdays to 'put on a bit of a show' for the lads to raise morale before they go out. Conte, sitting alongside Brent, said he didn't know much about the new chairman but had heard he's a bit of a dancer.


Brent also took the opportunity to plug his previously failed music single, a cover of Simply Red's 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlSv818d1Rk


At the end of the press conference, Brent was asked if he wouldn't mind posing for a couple of pictures. But Brent went one better and provided everyone in the room with a signed picture...

Wagner Completes Cherries Takeover

​

In a shocking move, AFC Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn has sold the club to former X Factor star Wagner. The Brazilian, who shot to fame on the singing show, finished sixth on the series in 2010 and was mentored by Louis Walsh. Many considered him to be the 'joke act' of the competition, as he 'entertained' millions every Saturday night.

Now 62, Wagner stated "It just made sense for me. I wanted to get into football because it's one of my many passions. I've had the ability to entertain people through performing - but now I want to do something else. Bournemouth are a football club with potential and although I will admit my heart lies with Huddersfield, I promise that Bournemouth are my only priority. We want to take this team to the next level."

Wagner has also shocked many by installing new friends Paul and Barry Chuckle, famously known for their time on children's TV show 'ChuckleVision,' as directors at the South-coast outfit. The pair both commented on the matter. 'It's brilliant to be here!" Said Paul. "To you Barry." The pair then joked by continually saying "To me, to you then," as they passed the microphone given by journalists to one another.

Wagner has confirmed that Eddie Howe will remain at the club. Howe has been with the Cherries since 2012, after rejoining the club after a failed spell at Burnley. The 40-year-old has overseen promotion from League Two to League One in his first spell and since returning to the Vitality Stadium, has led the club from the third tier to the top flight. "Why would I get rid of somebody with such talent, I would be stupid!" laughed Wagner. We look forward to a very interesting future at Bournemouth Football Club...

Good updates guys! Mine will be up soon. I'll await the rest and hopefully get the save up soon.

BoJo for Burnley!

View attachment 63110

In a bizarre move Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Boris Johnson has taken over as chairman of Burnley.

View attachment 63109

Sources say that he is an avid Sean Dyche supporter noting that privately he has admitted the “£350 million a week is actually going to the ginger Mourinho to keep him at Burnley.”

View attachment 63108

The same source has told us that Boris will remain in his government position and is prepared to do what is necessary to ensure Ben Mee and James Tarkowski are England’s first choice centre back pairing for the upcoming World Cup.

However he’s apparently not a fan of back up midfielder Ashley Westwood, citing his “inability to do anything other than pass the ball sideways,” as a major problem.

View attachment 63106

Johnson’s only official quote to media outlets was “Sean Dyche means Sean Dyche.”

TAKEOVER AT LEICESTER
In shock news coming out of the King Power Stadium today, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has decided to sell the club to a mystery investor. Rumours in the press state that the mystery buyer took the club at a heavily discounted price after 'threating the Thai billionaire with a flamethrower'

Not many people openly admit to owning a flamethrower, so almost all reports are saying that a certain businessman has become the new owner...
View attachment 63092
This guy.

And as it turns out, Elon Musk has just released a statement to the press in which he said:

'Space travel is cool, but I've always wanted to try my hand at owning a football club. So I'd like to thank Mr. Srivaddhanaprabha for generously offering me the chance to buy this fantastic club. With regards to the manager, Mr Puel has my full backing as he seems like a very boring guy. And I like boring'
