I have started a similar save and am interested in how to manage this.
In terms of takeovers, are you able to confirm if a proposed takeover has a pre-determined outcome (ie. successful or not) from the moment it is first "in the media", or if this can change randomly as "negotiations" take place? I'm thinking that I can use regular autosaves and if I know the answer to this, I can potentially avert takeovers that might change the club vision that I like. I also if there is a timeline when takeover approaches will happen if they randomly occur/
Many thanks
