Zip! posted:19 votes?! Yeah, but that's a bare majority of one vote. If it's a 50/50 split between Option C and the rest, I'm going to weight the options by number of votes and use that to determine the budget. Your vote changed the result, but then The Grey Ghost changed it back  29 minutes!

Voting is closed! The three youth measures passed by overwhelming measures, but no budget option reached a majority. That means I have to do some math now. ETA: Aaaand our budget is... 39.2m instead of 40m.  That means I'm a lmost exactly on budget. I started playing when it became clear that the amount I had to work with was going to be ~40m, and ended up spending ~38m. Our wages are much more respectable compared to the rest of the league, at 26m a year. The club above us, Norwich, is spending 35m. We're no longer the worst skinflints, Bristol City was promoted and clearly have decided that they're not even going to try and stay up- their wages are only 13m and they spent just 7m net on transfers. They're the worst team in the league by a wide margin.We're not on the Megabastard's level talent wise yet, but after the Arsenal/Chelsea/The Manchesters quartet at the head of the pack and then Tottenham as the 5th best team on paper we fit snuggly into the Swansea/Everton/Liverpool/Wrexham group. Any of the clubs at our quality can have a rational belief that they could finish 4th and get into the Champion's League if things go right for them and a megabastard stumbles. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 17:18 on May 2, 2014 |

Zip! posted:Save the brain cells just do £40m But I like playing with simple numbers! 800k may not seem like much, but that's more than enough to bring in a few good youth recruits come March, or to give a contract extension to a worthy player. eta: Real world numbers! If you notice the wage bills are even higher than they are in the game, with the Megabastards paying out 75m more than they do in game and even the lowliest club spending more than half the teams ingame. I'm guessing this is a balance issue more than anything else, the game doesn't input all the actual revenue streams a club has and thus can't have completely realistic wage budgets. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 17:53 on May 2, 2014 |

Epilogue: Eripio ex Nihilo May 11, 2020-June 9, 2020 Spirits are high in North Wales. Missing the Europa League is still disappointing, but we are poised for true greatness. We have money in the bank, I'm about to have a new contract, and our team is still improving every day. The bare minimum for next season will be to repeat our top half finish, we should realistically shoot for European qualification. We can even dream of making the Champion's League.  AJ_Impy promised contract discussions at the end of the season, and was as good as his word. The offer the game makes is derisory, a mere extension of my current contract despite the massive change in circumstances.  For some reason I can only ask for a raise up to 3,700/wk. I'm guessing this is the result of my past monkeying with my contract. Regardless, I monkey with it some more to implement the agreed upon 3 year contract at £50k/wk. The contract includes a 20% yearly raise, and escalators to £65k/wk for Europa League qualification and £80k/wk for Champion's League qualification. I'm now in the same tier of managers as those from respectable clubs like Newcastle and Swansea. If we qualify for the Europa League I'll be earning what the Everton manager gets, and if we should make the Champion's League I will be earning as much as my peers at the megabastards. I am much pleased.  Just missing out on the Europe League isn't the worst thing that could have happened to us, I suppose.  That's a small bonus pool considering we finished in 7th place.  Especially considering the amount of prize money we earned.  Djurovic's contract is up after next season. He was key to our winter resurgence, but slumped badly down the stretch. I'll have to think on whether I want to extend his deal or not, but considering that the other option is to sell him when he's still getting better expect to see him signing something at a photo op soon. Currently he's earning just £3,000/wk, any new deal would at least quintuple that.  We're now a full two years ahead of schedule. It's my most rapid ascent playing Lower League Manager ever, my previous best finish in an inaugural Premier League season was 13th. Much like this club I started very poorly but in that case it took until after the January window for the players to turn on the jets.  Scott Shirra, beloved of footy writers everywhere. He still can't buy beer in the United States. He's too young.  Even with his late season slump Bastable finished three goals up on the next most prolific scorer. We would have gone nowhere without him- William Harrison scored just two goals in his twelve league appearances this season.  I'm not sure how neither Bastable nor Shirra won this award. Maybe because they had won other honors they were ineligible for this one, but that doesn't make much sense. Djurovic finishes second in the voting for the award.  They do make the team of the year, though.  Which activates Shirra's bonus.  A 100 point season is an amazing feat, but I inspired a team predicted to be relegated to a seventh place finish. The voters for this award need to get their goddamned heads checked, they appear to have misplaced it up Manchester United's rear end.  This is a standard length offseason, and we'll need all of it. There's going to be plenty of player turnover as we shed our lower leaguers and I bring in a number of players suitable to our new stature.   Once again I bollix the end of year pep talk. My players are too damned modest about their own abilities. The club was about evenly split between fired up and nervous until I expressed my exasperation with the whiners, and that pissed off everyone.  Our training facilities will be close to world class when the renovations are completed, these improvements have been in the planning stages since last year. The Coach's Nightmare Inside His Head, 2:30am, May 17, 2020  : What do you think you're doing, Obliterati? I'm the God King in Wales! : Mwahaha, foolish American! You have no power here.: Nooo! This is the worst timeline ever!So, I really screwed up the other night. While testing a couple concepts by letting the game play ahead I accidentally let too much time go by and the 3 month rolling autosave overwrote my main save. I was quite bereft. Our last save would have had us playing the year over again, but Ex Nihilo came to the rescue by letting me know about the restore previous version feature. As a reward for saving   As is the board, once I nag them into it. This will run us a goodly sum, but we're secure enough now that we can handle it. Building a stadium is more expensive, and we'd likely have to take out at least some loans. Plus, we have a reader who's actually from Wrexham and who would be quite irate if we wrecked a place with over 200 years of history for a shiny new Naming Rights Thunderdome.    The board readily agrees to improve our youth academy and facilities, but I am unable to concurrently request an improvement in our recruiting network. It goes into the log of votes to implement over the coming months.  Lastly, the board sets the player budget for the upcoming season at £39.2m pounds after my request for a slightly higher total was forced to compromise after it ended just two votes shy of a majority.  Now that front office business is taken care of, I can begin preparing for the next season. The first step is to extend Boumsong's loan for another year. When he was healthy, he was excellent, and I'm not going to find a better centerback on the market for anything approaching a sane price. He's still not a big enough star to break into the Manchester United starting 11, so they're happy to leave him with us. All it costs us is £17,500 a week, 50% of his salary. He, Todd, and Lewis make for a good top three at the back.  It's also time to start selling off those pieces that we don't need. This includes Billy the Kid. Harrison was a great, great player for us. He scored 69 goals for us over the last five years, but he is not a high enough caliber player to succeed at this level. He played thirteen games this past season and scored just two goals with one assist, earning a poor 6.57 rating in the process and seldom impacting the game despite his speed. It'll be a sad day when his sale is finalized, we wouldn't be the club we are without him. But we won't become the club we are capable of being if we allow nostalgia and fond feelings to overwhelm our reason.  I schedule a mini-Cwp between Welsh teams for late July, but Newport County refuses to play us. The New Saints take their place as the unlucky small club lumped in with the three Premier League teams.  Preseason cups don't have any prestige attached to them, but it's a good way to get in a couple quick friendlies. Each team plays twice, with the winners of the first game playing for the cup and the losers playing a consolation game.  We'll be on the road for most of the pre-season, touring several respectable clubs in Scotland, France, the Netherlands, and Germany. I never knew this before, but choosing the “schedule multiple friendlies” option is far better than arranging them individually- we'll be making £1.6m in appearance fees for our matches against Celtic, Marseilles, PSV, and Stuttgart. If I had set them up individually we would have made nearly a million less. Our pre-season is capped with our neighbors to the north coming to town for one final tuneup. We might not face a single powder puff opponent, which is what I want. The team needs to be prepared for good competition from the word go when the season starts.  Djurovic gets a reward for his play, going from £150k a year to a £750k. It still leaves him modestly compensated given his ability level.  Durand is sold quickly, leading me to believe that I didn't ask for enough money. We turned a solid profit on the deal, having bought him for only £550k last year. That profit is reduced somewhat as 15% of the fee goes to Durand due to the sell-on clause in his contract.  They did the double and won 100 of a possible 114 points. This season is going to go down in English football history as one of the greatest of all time. Maybe their coach did have a credible argument to be lauded as manager of the year.  If I hadn't already arranged our pre-season schedule this would have been neat to participate in. But accepting commits us to playing four games in a five day span, and it would exhaust us to a dangerous extent.   Bradford is all the way down in League 2. I'm a little surprised that Simpson was willing to go there, but he'll be one of the best players in the league. I'll try to keep tabs on him as the years go by, and invite him back as an instructor when he retires. He can hold his head high, having captained us to 7th place in the Premier League. There's that tax bill I was talking about. Our taxes for the 2019-2020 season come to £9.5m, making it our third highest expense after player salaries and transfer fees. Clearly we're not spending enough money, amirite? /fingerguns.  Smart move, board. We're now at a £20m balance and in robust condition.  The ingame board set the budget similarly to what we decided upon, I don't have to make much by way of modifications to the transfer budget or the wage limit.  We lost 5,000 supporters despite having a dream season. It's not even like we raised membership fees, the price is still twelve pounds a year. Even so, with over 35,000 dues paying members we certainly have the capacity to draw up to 30,000 a game in the future.  Third time's the charm, apparently... Wait.  What?  Press Conference St. Mary's Stadium, June 5, 2020  : And now, let me introduce you to my hand picked board of directors. Cielo Shadowing-: Hola.: Marco Shadowing-: Buon giorno!: and Awyr Shadowing.: Hawddamor!: Any questions? (the entire room of reporters look at each other for a moment, then in unison raise their hands and start querying) I'm not sure I would have realized that our old club president took over Southampton if I hadn't renamed him, it wasn't even until I was cropping the screenshots that I noticed the wonderfully meta occurrence. Once I did, though, I knew what I had to do.  Ah, good. Our first signing of the offseason. I felt we needed more depth on the right wing with Matko developing slowly after spending long chunks of last season injured and Djurovic not being comfortable playing in the AMR slot. Dmitri Nieddu Attacking Midfielder  Nieddu was available on a free transfer from Italian giants AC Milan. Given our limited budget, high quality players who can be had for no transfer fee are high on when I regale listeners with a karaoke rendition of “My favorite things.” His contract demands were entirely within our capacity, he'll be making £30k/wk. The only real question is how well he'll adapt to playing mostly out wide, until now he'd spent most of his time in the center of the pitch. His crossing is not very good for a wide player, so it's most likely that I'll play him as an inside forward rather than a pure winger. That will allow him to cut in from the flanks and wreak havoc amongst defenses while making him more of a goal scoring threat.   Goodbye Billy. I wish you the very best of luck in all your future endeavors, except when you're playing against us. I'll try to come up with something clever to name after you! Durand, Harrison, and Simpson take their leave while Nieddu arrives as the window opens. We've got some serious wheeling and dealing to do. We need an additional defensive midfielder, a left back, some defensive cover that can play at least two of the back line positions, and not one but two new strikers. But we've got plenty of time to do it, the season doesn't start until mid-August and the window doesn't close for 11 weeks. And when that's done, it's time to force our way into the consciousness of Europeans. What a time to be a dragon.

It goes on at the same time, along with our regular league. In the Europa and Champion's League the group stage consists of 4 teams, who play home and away matches against each other. The top two in each group move on to the knockout round and then it's your basic bracket with home and away games in each round. eta: And yeah, if you make it to the final of the Champion's or Europa Leagues your team will have played 12 additional games by the time your regular season is over. It can exhaust teams, especially if you make deep cup runs at the same time. The Europa League pays such measly prize money that fans of good but not megabastard teams often whine about qualifying for it and making it harder on them in their league the next year, but next year IIRC the Europa League winner qualifies for the Champion's League. And the Champion's League is a huge pot of money. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 01:27 on May 3, 2014 |

Gonna be a hot race for the remaining european spots and the battle for relegation.

So if I were him, I'd ask for that box to be checked. Oh man. I try not to meddle with people's choice of genie magic, it's their decision and they won a contest for it, but that would be perfect. It would also have the opposite effect of meddling with a megabastard's finances- we'd add another contender for the Champion's League rather than remove one.

Appendix: The Year in Football/Futbol/Fußball/Calcio/Soccer, 2019-2020 June 9, 2020 It's time for our yearly spin around the globe to see what's up in the world of soccer. We start at home, where we already know the tale. Man City, Arsenal, and Chelsea make the Champion's League, while we miss out on Europe altogether. Crystal Palace and Wigan go down, which is no surprise, but Newcastle also goes down. That's a real shock, they were a good team and finished with a goal differential that matched ours. They're going to have to shed a huge amount of salary, but they were so good that I expect their sojourn in the wilderness to be very short.  West Ham finally makes it back into the Premier League, as does Aston Villa. Both teams could easily stay up next year, it's looking like the 12th to 19th best teams in next year's Premier League are going to be very closely packed. The worst team is going to be Bristol City, who had a lucky season to even make it into the Championship playoffs. If we don't take six points from them, I'm going to garrote a coach to show the players I mean business and that they might be next.  With their relegation Port Vale has now changed leagues three times in the seven seasons we've played. At the other end of the table Sheffield Wednesday deservedly makes it back to the Championship. Tackleford seems to have improved, but that's a relative term. Somehow Ed Phillips still has his damned job after four seasons of mediocrity.  Megabastards Man City win the FA Cup, but Swansea still gets a ticket to Europe from the deal. The biggest surprise are the Bolton Wanderers making it to the semifinal, a very impressive showing for a Championship squad. ForeverBWFC will be so happy! Or at least, as happy as you can get about your team doing well in a video game.  Stoke City had such a great start to the season, sitting in 3rd place almost halfway through the season. All they have to show for it is a loss in the League Cup final to Arsenal and a midtable finish.  Up north Celtic continues their reign of terror. Even with their third place finish Rangers are a shell of their former selves. Partick Thistle remains in the top division. Up the Thistle!  No surprise at the top of the table here, but the fourth place team is really interesting. Athletic Club Bilbao are based in the Basque region of Spain. Every single one of their players are Basque, as is required by club policy. They have an impressive history, with eight titles and the distinction of being one of three teams in the history of the league to never be relegated. They're going to the Champion's League for the first time in over 20 years.  Porto ran away with the title, even with Sporting CP narrowing the final result this was over in March. Boring.  North of Iberia the Gauls had themselves a barnburner of a title fight, with Monaco and PSG trading positions atop the league right into the final weeks. No, I don't know why I've become a Roman.  Maybe I'm reacting to Roma almost unseating those Turinese bastards at Juventus, but fell on goal differential.  To the north, across the borders of the old Empire, Bayern Munich stumbles still. This is Dortmund's 3rd title in a row. Down the table Hoffenheim remains in the top division, after stumbling from three straight top half finishes.  Over on the polders PSV wins the Eredivise by 15 points, and Ajax recovers a little from their wobble last season.  The Germans take a continental title for the first time since Bayern won the Champion's League in 2013. Their haplessness in continental competitions have hurt the league's reputation, the Bundesliga is distinctly fourth behind La Liga, the Premier League, and Serie A.  Until this year I could have said the same thing about the Premier League that I just said about the Bundesliga. The five Champion's League titles amassed by Spanish clubs since 2014 are the main reason why La Liga is considered the best league in the world. Then Manchester United cut through the best teams in Europe just as easily as they did English clubs.  Across the pond Montreal continues to dominate MLS. At least the Revs are decent again. And as was noted in a previous update, the Timbers Army got to cheer Portland winning the CONCACAF Champion's League.  Tigres, or Club de Fútbol Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León to be precise, win their fifth title. Meanwhile, Club America continues to be awful. America are the most successful team in Mexican soccer, and play at the riotous (in both good and bad ways) Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. They've won 11 titles, but over the last five years have turned into one of the worst teams in the league.  Flipping the globe to the southern hemisphere we can see that Velez continues the process of old money revanchism against the upstart and stillborn Deportivo Moron hegemony. Racing won last year, and it looks like Deportivo Moron are settling into the midtable.  Flamengo won. Again. What a shock. At least Gremio keeps it's iron lock on the state level league with a third straight title despite their middling performance in the Brasileirao.  And Flamengo won the Copa Libertadores. I don't even follow Brazilian soccer and I've decided that I hate them for their success in a video game. I'm not sure what that says about me. The only major international tournaments taking place this year are coming up this summer, with the Euro Championships and Olympics taking place in late July and early August. I'll note them as they happen. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Mar 8, 2015 |

I didn't even realize it was you until I was cropping the images and editing the update. The only thing I did was rename your front office guys afterwards. I love this game. I'm happy to give Southampton a boost to their finances, but I do want to recommend the Sugar Daddy option. If I give Southampton 50m there's a chance "you" will dividend it to yourself and it won't go towards the team. If I make you a sugar daddy you'll be using all that cash you siphoned from Wrexham and invested in incredibly risky but successful sub-sub-sub prime Greek bonds to boost the team without risk of the cash vanishing. On the other hand, what could be more goon director than getting 50m pounds for the benefit of the club and immediately taking it for yourself? Also happy to make you the spitting image of Shane McMahon. Is there a particular image you want?

The goal/point differential between ManU and the lowest, non-relegated team. Something that is (almost) completely out of the hands of Wrexham.

Maybe a vote on how much money Southampton will end up with at the end of the year.

Are you able to look at the funds of other clubs? If so we should bet on what number the amount of that nebulous: "Other funds not stated" part of Southampton's balance will be. Can't have Sky Shadowking without him being Sky Shadowking. (I just love this, can't embezzle from Wrexham in top league because of term limits so he'll just embezzle someplace else. This is my favorite LP now.)

Can't have Sky Shadowking without him being Sky Shadowking. I can do that, actually. I'd have to save the game, then add a human player as manager of Southampton, and I'd have access to their financials. Then I'd just reload the save.

I like this idea and may very well use it in the future, but I'd like to do something other than league points this season. What do people think of making predictions for top 4, Europa League Qualification, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and relegation from the Prem? That would be different than the past, and should have enough options that we can have 25+ people making predictions and not have multiple winners. The tiebreaker could be how many points lowly Bristol City achieve all season.

The tops, the bottoms and the cups works for me.
