deejay10 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Anyone had a club become the new Man City on their games ? On my Juve game, Newcastle got taken over by a Lithuainian consortium in season 1, and have splashed as much cash as Man City do! Notable £10m+ signings : Season 1 - Yobo, Huntelaar, Elano Total - £64m Season 2 - Poulsen, Carrick, Ashley Young, Palacios, Cardozo, Javi Martinez Total £120m Season 3 - Arteta, Santa Cruz, Mattock, Hubschman Total £69m They finished 5th in the first season, managed to break the top 4 in the second season, and halfway through season 3, are 2nd, level on points with Arsenal at the top of the league! Huntelaar, Cardozo, Owen and Santa Cruz are banging them in, what a strike force. I only noticed when I had to play them in the champions league, and managed two credible 1-0 victories against them. Their squad is so strong, Martins, Barton, Duff, N'Zogbia etc are all transfer listed, in the reserves. Anyone else had this happen in their games ?

Dabuh Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Same for me, Newcastle got taken over as well and started spending even more than man city. However, they don't seem to be able to break the top 4 as they are still finishing mid table 4 seasons in. More suprising takeover at mallorca. They seem to have plenty of cash to buy all the top rated players, however, none of them want to join mallorca. Probably because of their low rep.

gleesefc Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 same on one of my files i wondered why Newcastle were spending 70+million each season on transfers - checked their staff screen and they had been taken over in the first season, still can't win anything though!

Got taken over by a belgian tycoon and appear to be buying there way to the premiership. Currently top of the Championship and going strong. Not quite sure how there 8500 seater stadium is going to cope with the Prem but never mind! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Was taken over by a Taiwanese tycoon with Newcastle as well. 70m to spend in 1st season, 90m in 2nd, noe 104m in third up from 15th to 7th after transfers in 1st, (39 points from last 19 matches, after 19 from the first 19) 2nd in 2nd, now just started the third year. Players bought after big cash came in: 1st season: K.Huntelaar, P.Progrebnjak, G.Bale, F.Fazio, T.Cahill and quite a few youngsters 2nd season: M.Richards, J. Wilshere, M.Marin, J.Martinez, P.Jagielka, R.Van der Vaart, S. Asenjo plus the usual youngers 3rd season: S.Eto'o, S. Ignashevich, A. Pirlo, Agbonlahor, one regen wonderkid from Boro (20 years, D LC, WB L DMC, MC), C. Rodriguez and the usual highly talented and expensive bunch of regens Signed before cash came: Vukcevic and Cardozo. Love my life and btw I miss the old, sympathetic City team. They are no fun as what they are now. No other takeovers yet, but Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon07 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Morecombe - Taken over by a Chilean board and in the Championship have spent about 35m in two years trying to get promotion to the Premiership. Couple of good South American regens have found themselves playing at Morecombe. Lecco (Serie C2A) have also been taken over by a set of Polish gentleman. Asteras, Scunthorpe, Stade Brestois 29 and Volendam are other sides that have been taken over by forgein investors. Some strange clubs have been taken over, my tip to find which clubs have been taken over is to go to job security, sort by finances and see what clubs finances are set as rich.

Stretch Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Only tycoon I've noticed in my current save is a rather random one at Grays Athletic. Two straight promotions and only just missed the League One playoffs in season three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeScotsPaul Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 lol how many Lithuanian consortiums exist in real life? The one that owns Hearts, FBK Kaunas and MTZ Ripo. Principle shareholder in all three clubs is Vladimir (Mad Vlad) Romanov, principle shareholder in Ukio Bankas, one of Lithuania's banks. It's the bank that actually owns the clubs, and also sponsors them. The rubbish thing is, Mad Vlad is reportedly worth around £750m but doesn't exactly splash the cash... he just keeps them going and rotates players around all three clubs.

Dan Dirtyape Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It's not really a consortium though, it's just Vlad, his son Roman and their pet duck Albert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinGoodey Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I've had both Norwich and Ipswich taken over in my game - they are both splashing the cash in season 5 in the Premiership - approx 40m each so far this year - but both only mid table as I approach 3/4 way through the season.
