I just read an article about QPR and saw that Ian Dowie was fired due to some friction between Flavio Briatore(Owner of QPR) about the starting eleven. This has also happened with Newcastle as the most know. Do you think that this could appear in the new FM or in later versions?
ehm, thing is mate. The owner of QPR wants them to win and win and win and nothing else. it was not about the selection of the squad out on the pitch.

I mean QPR are doing quite well and theres alot left of the season.

Its just the owners that want success and money etc.

i wont play FM if they bring this stupid feature into the game. its aabsolutely pathetic what these stupid fucking owners are doing.

they think they know football etc, fucking cunts the owners are. they just want money etc.
I totaly agree with you, that is why I want Newcastle to fail. To set a bloody example.
I also agree..... It is ridiculous....
i don't want in the game.... I was just thinking....
Although i agree with what you guys are saying, football without a doubt is fueled by money now and lots of it. It might not be a good thing but its very much part of the game now(not on the pitch obviously unless you count the pitch ad's lol). I dont really think this will be changing in the future either. Probably be worst tbh.

What i'd like to see though is some of these owners to try and coach/manage their team to success instead of relying on other people to do the job. See how tough it is then.

yeh we know that money is part of football. it has been for years.

but now its pathetic. Things they can do to fix this:

1. Make a limit for maximum wages for players.
2. Fans should own the clubs!
3. If there are individual owners they shouldnt have anymore rights than what the fans have! the only thing the owners should be able to do is support the team and not make their own decisions.

of course theirs a board, which should include some members from the fan group. and of course they should be able to make some decisions time to time.

But now a days owners are telling the managers to do what they want. to buy and sell players they want etc.

the thing with the newcastle owner and the west ham owner was that they sold and bought players behind the managers back.

Alan Curbishley who loves west ham left them because he knew how bad he was treated and to show the rest of football that it is corrupting.
He did something about it, BUT NO ONE ELSE IS!.

now i dont live in england and cant really do much at all in all honesty. But people in england get concerned for 1 minute and the 2nd they just sit back and watch the match as usual.

If was a top player or manager at this point i would certainly raise these points out to the media and urge people to do something about it. and try to do something myself.

its quite pathetic to see the next day after the managers quit. the other managers said a few things about it in the media. BUT THATS IT, now they just sit back and enjoy their lives because they have all the money.
well Red you are right from the sports side of this.
but from legal side it is imposible.
listen,when you buy something,than you can do with it anything you like,because it is yours,so limiting owners rights is not posible.
if you buy a car,it is yours,and no one can take it from you.
so limited rights will never come true.

the only way is to sell club to someone who have long history in that club.for example ex-player.in other words someone who is part of the club for many years,and someone who showed loyalty for the club and the fans.
also fans shoulldnt have any rights,because it is bad when too many people decides about things,there is allways disagreements,and things can easily go wrong.

now,red dont think that i dont support your three points,i support that,but in this society today,in capitalism that will NEVER happen,exept limited wages.
But although I agree with the idea, I don't see that it will come to that. People will have the top amount of wages they can, but....... You can't limit the bonuses which would just make up the difference of that wage loss they would 'suffer' due to this idea going through.
