sczerpak Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Im Newcastle and i had a takeover in the 1st season (mid march time) by a Norwegian business tycoon by the name of Arild Moe. He ploughed lots & lots of cash in, he: upgraded training & youth facilities expanded my capacity to 60000 gave me 140mill 2nd season to spend gave me 160mill 3rd season to spend gave me 170mill 4th season to spend i won nothing 1st season but finished 3rd. i couldnt use his money because i got taken over after the transfer window 2nd season i won the champs league & fa cup & finished runners up, i spent heavily in the summer 3rd season i won the league, league cup, champs league, charity shield, supercup & world club champs. i bought Ronaldo & Balotelli that season iv just started the 4th season. i got Ribery on a free, Pato for 100mill. my point is that its become so easy after just 3 seasons. i thought his money would be put in gradually! Its become quite boring. Has anyone else had this??? my team is: GK: Mandanda, im signing Akinfeev on a free in December LB: Sakho RB: Collicini CB: Thiago Silva CB: Taylor ML: Ribery or Giovinco MR: Ronaldo or Adu MC: Defour, Vukenic, Pinzo, Wiltshere DM: Camacho, Denilson, Sunny FC: Vela FC: Pato My other striker are Balotelli, Torok, Damien Deschamps & Kierisson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsie Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 man i play as the toon but i got taken over by a member of the board /slap. You get no extra money that season but there is still a fair chance you can get around 30 million the next season and ofc you can sell players on top of that.

Iv had newcastle games before and iv been taken over by board members every time. thats why i was so happy this time. But before it was a hell of alot more of a challenge. Im gona see this season out then move on i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardav Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 and if you move on then you can see how they do without you.or maybe try and beat them with another club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.G. Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 i was wondering if the tycoons' money ever dries up? or if they are likely to ever get bored and sell up? as quite a few clubs have tycoon chairmen on mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Nine Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Pato for 100mill. There's your answer, don't pay silly money for players, even if you've got it. That way you'll still have to hunt for players to buy and develop them into stars. Gives you more to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPompey Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The amount of money seems daft but if its a very rare evenmt that can happend to any club then its realistic in the mould of Chelsea and Man City. However as in real life they've not won a lot with it. Loads of money doesn't always make teams, but it helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidel Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 IVe got a transfer budget in my 4th season as newcastle of £140million... How much have I spent? 22million - all on good youth players - I refuse to spend all that money on 'names' and I want to develop my team for the long term. My team in 2012 Given/ Asenjo Coloccini/ Monongu Taylor/ Corluka Breno/ Kadar Caceres/ Ferandez Ramsey/ Jonas Van Der Vaart Romero Wiltshire/ Norman Owen/ Dos Santos Keirrison Out of those 6 were at newcastle befoe I started and 10 were bought below the age of 20 - no one was bought for more than 15million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalJez Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Bah, why do you still have owen? lol I sold him to Liverpool in Jan09 for £23m with his contract running out - replaced him with Cavenaghi for 10m, Owen had only scored 5 goals, Cavenaghi finished the season with 17...

jayahr Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I am playing the Toon too and got lucky as well. So if you are taken over by a tycoon, he will insert money in every year? Just spent my entire budget ('just' 87m though) on new players and now I wonder if I can spend big again next season or if this is now the improved base on which I'll have to build up myself.

Guess that's what I would do too if I won a few titles. (have yet to achieve that kind of success). Then move on to League 1 or 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFuture'sMaroon! Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Set yourself a few rules, like age limits, selling so many players each year, players over 27 to your feeder clubs, and things like that. Just a suggestion mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
