offleyhornet Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Can you get taken over if the chairman status is 'loves the club'? The reason I ask is that I have been at my current club for 13 years and in that time the value has gone from £17.5m to £180m and I find it extremely unrealistic that no one has been interested in buying my club.

Avelives Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Why would you want that to happen, it often means sketchy/flaky new owners, and some rich oligarch dictating who you should buy? If your clubs worth that much you surely dont need the cash? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offleyhornet Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 I want it to happen because it is realistic. I have taken my club (watford) from nothing, to a european giant. I just think that in real life, somebody would have tried to buy me. Also, Graham Taylor (current real life chairman) could be dead or two old to run the club as I am in the 22/23 season!

tom_numbers Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Your chairman will eventually move out once he gets too old, but in most cases he'll probably just sell it to someone else on the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambyGHS Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 You'd be more likely to see a take over if you werent doing so good. New owners coming in to clear the debt for example. Maybe your chairman/owner is delighted by the fact that he is actually making a profit in an industry that generally doesnt see this happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
