Tribesman4775 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ok heres the deal: Towards the end of the last season on FM14 with Galway FC I had the chance to suggest going pro to the board. So I did and they said "we will look to go pro at the beginning of next season." I progressed through the off season up to the first IDP match and nothing ever happened the board also did not follow through with my request to start a youth recruitment network which I brought up during contract negotiations which they also agreed to. We currently are sitting on 400k with a projected 900k through participation in the ECC. So my question is something broken or is this normal, does the board actually have the potential to be total pricks and not follow through with their agreements? I have never had this trouble on previous FM games as clubs usually turned pro on specific dates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I haven't played with them but...... All clubs can turn semi-pro/pro and equally go the other way too. It's not all driven by money though. Reputation is also a driver and of course chair man personality. It's not an auto-trigger where you get £xx in the bank and turn pro. The way I understand it it's a sliding scale, (together with rep). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 From your post the board said "The beginning of next season" not this season. They also said they would consider it, not definitely do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eusebio1 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 All clubs can turn semi-pro/pro That's not right. Queen's Park in the Scottish League 2 are hardcoded to stay at 'Amateur'-level. But apart from that, you're right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman4775 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Since I've done this before on FM12 I kinda assumed by the language the board used that they planned on putting the change into action prior to the start of the following domestic season and in FM12 if clubs were to go pro they would do so Jan 7 if memory serves me right. But if its really just a 'we will look into it' scenario and stars must align for us to actually go pro then I have no choice other than to just keep chipping away at it. In truth I didn't expect to go pro until my 3rd or 4th as I did before (I am only at the end of the second season currently). I must admit though I feel a little cheated having not seen the youth improvements either. I mean the game just isnt as much fun with a ceiling so low being unable to grow into a potential world class club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
