I hate my chairman. He didn't invest money into the club when we were in lower leagues, but now in EPL he is paying dividends every season. He couldn't find good parent clubs and now he can't find good feeder ones. Also I still have the stadium untouched, he can't expand it due to some goverment problems.

At this time my club is rich, 31 of the world and every month we have nearly 2M€ more, even paying 1M€ of taxes. I had a 27 yo striker from my academy, and after 10 years he peaked. He was the best paid in my team, playing nearly always even he was not making awesome stats. And then some teams bidded for him and my chairman accepted one of the bids.

I didn't want to sell that player, I only play welsh players and he is one nice welsh player. I didn't need the money and the buyer has not more reputation than me, we are both struggling at EPL. And the worst is that my chairman will give that money for investors

Some chairmen have low ambition etc, this means these will set low targets and fail to invest much in them. Ideally, what you'd need is a really good cup run to get you into europe and do well in it, it would improve your reputation enormously so even if you can not get the players you want for millions and millions you can get them on frees. But seriously, the Welsh national side wouldn't win the EPL so you shouldn't use all Welsh players.

Hit him in the head with a blunt object .
It is a bit funny teams who are not in the stock market are paying dividends but on the other hand raping all economic laws to create an economic model is fun .

If you play the game long enough chairmen do retire and sell their stakes. I've seen two changes of Man Utd chairman on my FM 2007 game.

Depending on how much you "love" the club you're managing, you could have a little fun at their expence...

...by killing the club.

I'm sure your manager reputation will be very good by now, affording lots of opportunities to manage another club.

Therefore you could offload all the best players, fire off all the good staff, buy crap players for vastly over-inflated prices before waving a fond farewell for pastures greener.

Have al pacino, joe pesci and james gandolfini join the boardroom.

Companies don't have to be listed to give dividends. One of the things people forget is that most football clubs (in the UK at least) are companies. And as such their aim is to make a constant profit for the shareholders. Not the players, not the fans and not for you the manager. And if it so happens that the chairman owns the club, then it's his prerogative if he wants to pay himself dividends.

Spurs when Mr Sugar owned them were a good example of how a club could be run profitably without winning stuff.
