FM 2024 Fantasy Scenarios - FM24 Ferrero Alessandria Takeover [v1.1]
Hi everyone!

First I'll leave you the link to the video where MisterFM tested and played the scenario.


In this scenario I wanted to pay homage to the team from my city of which I am also a big fan who, after the bankruptcy at the end of the 2023-24 season, is trying to rise from the Promozione Piemonte (sixth level of the Italian football system) under the name of Forza & Coraggio Alessandria..
The history of Alessandria Calcio is made up of a succession of ups and downs in constant contrast between heaven and hell.
It is part of the Quadrilatero Piemontese del Calcio with Casale, Novara and Pro Vercelli, teams that were protagonists of the world of football in the early years of the twentieth century.
The last season in the Italian top flight dates back to the 1959-1960 season where the future first Italian Ballon d'Or winner, Gianni Rivera, played in the team, then sold to Milan the following season.
The last season in the second series of Italian football dates back to 2021-22 after an abstinence of forty-six years.

In between, a lot of Serie C, two bankruptcy, the first at the end of the 2002-2003 season and the last in the last season and the journey in the Coppa Italia up to the double semi-final against Milan in the 2015-2016 season after having eliminated in order : AltoVicentino, Pro Vercelli, Juve Stabia, Palermo, Genoa and Spezia.



In this scenario, Alessandria is taken over by the Ferrero company, a well-known Italian confectionery brand based in Alba, also in Piedmont but in the province of Cuneo.
The Executive Chairman of Ferrero and owner of Alessandria in this scenario is Giovanni Ferrero who, according to the ranking drawn up by Forbs, is first among Italian billionaires.
The objective is clear, to bring Alessandria back to Serie A and compete with the big names in Italian football, keeping an eye on the growth of Italian players.




MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
The team is made up of:
  • Owner: Giovanni Ferrero
  • Director: Bernardo Ferraris (invented)
  • Director: Diego Poggio (invented)
  • Director of Football: Giancarlo Romairone (former Alessandria player and DS of Chievo, Carpi and Bari)

The property has Sugar Daddy Foreground.
This is the basic structure for both files you will find.
For the full version, there is part of the staff made up of former players or people born in Alessandria with coach Alberto Aquilani.
Below in the article you will find more information on which file to choose.






STADIUM AND FACILITIES
The structures of Alessandria are as follows:
  • Stadium: Giuseppe Moccagatta with 5827 seats
  • Training Center: Centro Sportivo Michelin
  • Stadium for Youth Academies: Centogrigio

All structures become the property of Alessandria.




WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THE FOLDER

  • The 'alessandria_ferrero.fmf' File, which allows you to play this scenario.
  • The 'alessandria_ferrero_no_staff.fmf' File, which allows you to play without changes to the staff but only the Director of Football.
  • A folder called '0_alessandria_ferrero' where you will find all the graphics regarding Alessandria inside


HOW TO INSTALL FILES
  • The 'alessandria_ferrero.fmf' or 'alessandria_ferrero_no_staff.fmf' file must be inserted in:
    Documents/Sport Interecative/Football Manager 2024/editor data
  • The '0_alessandria_ferrero' folder must be inserted in
    Documents/Sport Interecative/Football Manager 2024/graphics
    .

In case you don't see Giovanni Ferrero's face, this depends on certain nofakes that add staff for a certain team, so if you want it visible, just go to staff and insert the ID column, copy and paste the ID you have in your save in the faces config.

Starting a new save using Football Manager Original mode is required.

COMPATIBILITY WITH TRANSFER UPDATES AND PROMOTIONS/RELEGATION
The file is not compatible with the transfer update and the 2024-25 season as the team is no longer in the Italian third series.
The scenario should be understood as a What If of what unfortunately did not happen.


THANKS AND USEFUL LINKS
MisterFM who had the idea of creating this scenario, created the cover and preview and decided to make a video on YouTube/Twitch.

Have fun :)


Marco.

    @marcodoglio94 you're welcome, pretty sure it will make game easier for long term save.

    Thinking myself about re-making Torino as Toro Rosso with rumored Red Bull takeover. But might wait with this one till final data update/or some news about FM 25.
    :

    This is absolutely a great idea! we are all waiting for them to decide to inform us about FM 25. They were supposed to speak by January but they didn't let us know anything.
    Not good behavior towards us FM fans.

    Hi small question did you changed the average/maximum fans number?
    It would make sense to put much higher numbers there
    for example if stadium has about 5800 seats
    make sure to put minimum at 5000, average at 5700 and maximum set it even to 8 or 9000.
    This way will be easier to expand the stadium or ask board for a new one.:


    I have taken this proposal into consideration and will release the update since among other things it also suits the team's catchment area.
