wacman1389 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Has anyone ever gave the board an ultimatum and not gotten fired? I just tried it on my Redditch save for kicks (newly promoted BSP team with 100k in the bank, and they won't give me transfer funds) and I got fired. Anyway, has it worked for anyone? and if not, why is it there if it doesn't work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I find that they are one of 3 outcomes: You are fired You still don't get your request but you keep your job You get what you asked It is usually the 1st one but it can be either of the other 2 as well.

rancer890 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I tried an ultimatum a few times (at Toronto FC or Plymouth). I got warned the first time, and the second time, was requested to either be sacked or resign, and I resigned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardog Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 My worst sacking ever was through this. IIRC it was back on FM06 may have been 07. Took a struggling Oxford side from league One to the Premiership in 2 seasons(first one was deserved the Championship was a fluke becuse i changed my tactics at half ime confused the opponents). They gave me £50K to spend. I knew the team wouldnt win a game in the premiership so requested funds. No. So ultimatium(they did have the money too spend too) I get sacked. They get relegated two seasons running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFC Gee Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I've won 23 trophies in 9 years with Chimney Corner who were a nothing team before i took charge, i decided to try it out for a laugh. Obviously i saved first but even with the record i have with them i was sacked, i won't be trying that seriously any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergtaz Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Its harder in this game, I had a West Ham game in CM01/02 and it was impossible for me to get sacked. Was with them for 10 seasons got them plenty of trophies, Prem/CL etc. I wanted to increase the stadium so I gave 3 ultimatums, 1st 2 were warnings and 3rd time they caved in! There were a few I had also given before that. I think what has changed now is the board confidence. The West Hame board were always delighted with me, when I gave them Ultimatum it would just knock me down to satisfied for a few weeks. Now boards are generally just pleased with the new board confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I've tried it a couple of times just out of curiosity, just after I saved the game, and have always been fired. Of course, I was quitting the game anyway and had no intention of issuing a genuine ultimatum to the board. I think you have to be regarded as highly as Wenger or Ferguson to get away with it.

Aleh Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm a stubborn arsehole to my board, they never reach my demands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I did it once with valencia but i'm not sure if it was fm08 or 07... They didn't have much money but they risked it and gave me funds but warned me there would be consequences if i failed. I've never been warned though its either a sacking or money!(well, once) Don't have a clue how i did or what lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
