Gaming FM Owner Experiment | Experiment finished!

[Solius]

Ok. We made it. Season 10!

As I said before I'm on holiday next week but we will continue on past season 10 after that.

Some manager news!

Rose was free, but two clubs were in for him. Sheffield Utd decided they couldn't be arsed with a bidding war and just laid down 50 big ones.

Not a bad consolation prize for Bolton. No sackings at least for Sergio!

 

[SilentWitness]

I am sad. Much sad.

I am going through your squads as well and limiting any wages to lower than 300k. I've seen examples where an owner transferred player has wages like 180k and then jumps to 400k when I move him. So any higher than 300k will be lowered by 100k (or however much to get to 300k)

If you can't win the FA cup, just sign a manager who already has!

It was between those two for me at the start and that win percentage, the traits and trophy wins swung Rose in my favour but yeah wasn't willing to go above that 50m.

 

[altodevil]

I fancied Brulmans but I think he's a fairly limited player for the price. Home Bargains Lahm.

 

[SilentWitness]

On the other hand, Wanner is a player I've almost signed or been interested in 2 or 3 times now. Finally signing him up, don't disappoint me please!

He's been lethal for ages now. Top player.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

We looked at him very early on but we’ve now got players instead. Top player.

 

[BD]

I am sad. Much sad.

Apologies. I think you can safely blame alto though, since he won the first bidding war with us at the start of the game and that put me off the idea of having another one, so we just went big.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

I fancied Brulmans but I think he's a fairly limited player for the price. Home Bargains Lahm.

We’re looking for just a solid RB/DM good age and has performed well for a top side.

With the rest of the squad being one year more experienced were hoping for Europe again but a CL campaign too!

Part of me was tempted to go to 55m on the hope you then said 60m but I got scared and whimpered to Sergio.

That could well have resulted in a 100m bid to be honest

PL Preview - Starting to see some Caf domination

Would be very happy with champions league again.

Of course we could just win the league.

Shouldn't Mikey Moore not have a transfer value as we chose to buy him?

 

[Solius]

Shouldn't Mikey Moore not have a transfer value as we chose to buy him?

It varies. I've no idea how it calculates it.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Shouldn't Mikey Moore not have a transfer value as we chose to buy him?

Good luck trying to buy him for that value off of us.

Wouldn’t sell him for anyone bar one player who I keep PM’ing Solius about.

 

[SilentWitness]

Hopefully we can take advantage of no Europe and get a EL place at least. Once we get a stadium upgrade I think we will see some improvement.

He’s an M(C) you iced bun

 

[sebsheep]

It's breaking out into a fight at the top. Could Sheffield United capitalise on this distraction?

You get a 20% share of Bolton football club, input on signings and managerial changes.

Spoiler

I’ll take it. But I warn you, I’m based stateside, so the time difference is just adding to your woes. Feel free to ignore me if you don’t get a timely reply.

I suppose we aren’t allowed to provide external investment through a minority buy out?

Veto, it will take 2 days to do anything

 

[simonhch]

Or get done faster because it’s so much earlier here?

 

[BenitoSTARR]

American owners are always good.

 

[Solius]

I have good news and bad news about Kompany.

Spoiler

 

[Solius]

And the managerial merry-go-round finally stops.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

I have good news and bad news about Kompany.

Spoiler

Happy with that knew we should have just bought Caicedo and fecked Chelsea

 

[SilentWitness]

Is that Kyle Walker the RB and David Ospina the GK?

 

[altodevil]

Remember the name, Brentford

Would probably work. I usually jump into stuff so the required patience would help.
