Thebaker Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Perhaps it doesn't happen in all leagues or in low rep leagues, im in 2038 in N Ireland and i've not seen a single tycoon takeover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMaaan Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 How many leagues have you highlighted as playable, and how many leagues do you have in your news subscriptions? I think that unless you have that league as a news subscription, you wont be told about tycoon takeovers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Just checked my game (all leagues from Europe & the America's) & none of the clubs listed as rich are in their position following a tycoon takeover, had a flick through some of the secure clubs & nothing there either. It does look like the tycoon could be a rare beast in FM, tbh I think that's a better & more realsitic situation than in previous versions where there appeared to be no shortage of billionaires buying clubs in some weird & wonderful places. Seeing an Irish billionaire buy a tiny Serie C2 outfit in a town that had population of less than 10,000 was a common takeover type in FM11 & 12, if that kind of nonsense has been tweaked out of the game then I'm all for it. Save was started on 13.3.1 & does have the German 4th tier activated with valid takeovers only selected. Edit & slightly off topic: Looking at the clubs in my save it does look like SI need to figure out a way to get their non-transfer spending increased to a more realistic level, on my save (Sept' 2018) there are currently 8 clubs with a cash balance in excess of £100m, Barcelona & Real Madrid are at the £400m mark which by some considerable margin is unrealistic & does suggest that there are some major club expenditures not being simulated in FM or income levels are increasing too much.

forameuss Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I don't get why people want tycoon takeovers so badly. They're more trouble than they're worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Perfect Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Probably because they add a bit of drama. I've only been through one, many years ago. It led to me having unrealistic demands (win the league... although 6th place and play-off promotion saved my job). However, the speculation about the new owner wanting to replace me with Leroy Rosenior means that he is hated in my household to this day... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akande Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I don't get why people want tycoon takeovers so badly. They're more trouble than they're worth. Money is so overrated in FM. I do everything by the cheap on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngrookie Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 im in 2019 and i can remember only 2, Bolton (who were in championship, 2015, at the time and got promoted but never used their large cash reserves and go relegated) and me. My fist ever tycoon take over. I'm a very successful Everton manager and was taken over in 2017/18 I think. Thou I have all this money I don't actually like having sooooo much (£300m pumped in and £167m to spend). I prefer to spend on a budget and promote yth and reserves but i'm now under pressure to make a massive signing every season and all my star players want absurd wages. I know it sounds strange but its kind of spoiled my game (although i'm having a great rivalry with the other mega rich club, Man City) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TioPatinhax Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 How can I check which clubs have been taken over by tycoons? I have had my subscriptions off since the beginnning of game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The only way is to trawl through the landmarks page of each club, you can narrow down the possible clubs by going to the job security page & looking for any unexpectedly rich clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TioPatinhax Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks. Not the easiest way, but now i´m curious to see if something did happen in my game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon army 06 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Is there not a certain news item you can tick, to hear about takeovers? I don't seem to hear of takeovers of any kind tbh. even when some apart from tycoon have happened in my game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 You just need to be subscribed to the league that the team competes in, the default settings include news on any boardroom changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vector Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I saw one in year 2013 involving a North American businessman buyng River Plate and promised to invest €117.000.000. And heck, he really did, later they made a €9.000.000 offer for a player I was looking for :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfan2 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 It's all about your subscriptions. I set up every league I have that's playable to show me job openings and board takovers for every league (and turned off everything else, except for the league I'm in). It takes an age to set up, and you have to reset it all when you go up or down a division, or change jobs, but I now get this detail. Most takeovers seem to be be fan groups or 'local' businessmen. I see very few 'tycoon' takeovers but I believe they have happened (midway through my third season). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
