rastaman219 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 How long does these normally take? Am currently in my first season at Portsmouth, and have had my transfers locked down since mid september, now mid December. Every week or so I get a message saying it's looking close or on the rocks but nothing more has happened.... Is this normal? As my squad is slowly getting smaller and I need this to be done by January to get new players! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyrichie Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 All I can say is good luck mate, I've had 1 at Blackburn that took 18 months overall, it collapsed a couple of times but the same people came back in and eventually took over! Be warned though when u take over the transfer ban may not be lifted straight away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konigsberg Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I've tried a board take over that took two weeks. I've tried a board take over that took six months. So yeah - good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've seen an AI takeover last over two years in my FM11 save. It's very much how long is a piece of string? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuanMarneyW Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ah damn, came here looking for this precise answer as my team ( Spurs ), just had a failed takeover bid on them at the start of the fifth season. from local businessman Tom Murray. Was hoping for a sugar Daddy or oil conglomerate ! Wondering how long it will take for him to come back in, but I guess the answer is that its a lottery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AytchMan Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The length of time is very random. I've seen them completed in as little as a few weeks but they can take much longer. My guess is that the program starts the process off, waits a couple of weeks and rolls some dice. The result either advances or ******* the takeover by twenty or thirty percent, FM sends you the appropriate message and repeats the cycle. When the progress variable gets to either zero or one hundred percent, the souffle is ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 FM doesn't roll dice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
