AB-forever Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 it's possible it's coded , i bet it's coded into the game that any team can get tycoons - especially english clubs I'm quite sure any club can be taken over. In my game a club in the Uruguayan Second Division has been taken over by a Belgian tycoon a Croatian tycoon took over a club in the Norwegian First Division (2nd tier) and a Canadian tycoon took over a club in the Belarusian First Division (2nd tier) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

englandmanager Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 This thread should be retitled 'My leeds team got taken over by a leeds legend, and he served me a pint the other week' i've got a huge amount of respect for lorimer not just because he is a leeds legend but like most great 60s and 70s players they played football and didn't have big wages unlike todays pansies they turned up 5 days a week and got by on a slightly better than average national wage and the guy is so friendly, i remember my first time in that pub and my mates said you might get served by lorimer - i said yeah right like lorimer serves behind a bar, they were right i was star struck and got his autograph lol a really nice guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 yes they had high payed players but compared to today none of them had stupid amounts Well they were either highly paid or on just over minimum wage? Which is it? It's all relative, they were bloody well paid compared to the ordinary man and it riles me when people get on as if they were hard done by. It must have been tough getting up early and playing football all day, then going to the pub! Really puts life in the pits in perspective eh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really puts life in the pits in perspective eh. you're completely wrong 80% of premiership players today never have to work again 90% of the division 1 teams of the 60s 70s all had to go on to get normal jobs to make ends meet - apart from the ones that took up management or coaching Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying its all relative to the context of the era. If those players were playing in these financial times (disregarding the current fincancial situation of course) they would be earning exactly the same ammout as players do these days. Nothing has changed, everybodies wages have gone up since the 60' and 70's, not just footballers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 That's like saying "Gazza wasn't paid much, otherwise he wouldn't be broke"!

PrinceEgypt Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I wonder if i start a game with making Leeds rich already i.e. giving them a budget of £30m at the start of the game - and a future income fee of £30m - Would this Lorimer ****head still take over the club in the future?
