I meant managers aren’t so hand on in the signing of players. As in they don’t negotiate with other clubs.

Some managers do negotiate with other clubs others have chairmen who are running the club and the manager is only a yes man (Chelsea) but can you imagine some managers excepting the chairman buying players that they dont want for example can you imagine the likes of Sir Alex allowing the chairman to choose his team or Roy Keane allowing it.

That’s a good point.
I’m not for the removal of managerial transfer’s in any way btw. Just thought I would make the point.

Is it not more common for clubs outside the UK to have their transfers conducted by DoF’s and Club presidents?

Yeah like in Argentinia (sp?) theres allot of third party interference in purchasing players that MSI group I think its called that loaned Tevez and Mascherano to Wet Ham.

Damnable no editing lol

WEST HAM

I'd prefer SI made an option to slap the chairmain upside the head rather than make a Football Chairman game.

Besides, with an editor, you practically are a chairman in some sense.

Lol, as a Spurs fan i think i prefer Wet Ham

maybe a better feature would be if you werent only allowed to be a manager

for instance you could be hired as a assisstant manager then maybe when the manager gets sacked you have the oppurtunity to be promoted to manager.

imagine if your friend was the manager and your friends were the assisstant manager and scouts

In Spain and Italy the club presidents or chairmen buy and sell players. Obviously the manager does have some input also.

I just wanted to bring this up again, sorry. I know this game idea as been discussed many times throught the past months and years but I sincerely believe that there will be an audience for this kind of game in the future for any football lover. Money is in the game since a few years now, and this is not going to change ... and because the loaded guys will try to control more and more every aspect of the game. We know this is already the case for most of continental football big teams where Owners -Chairmans - Directors or whatever you can call them , are not only bringing the cash but are part of any decision. We can see that it is coming to English football as well with more and more take-overs (some guys will not just come and give their money without a saying ) In conclusion, there would be a lot of things to do in a chairman game , for what I can think of , certainly more to do than the actual FM2008. There are certainly material and room for such a game, even as a standalone game.
