If you had fuck you money and wanted a top soccer team what league would you go for? Would you buy a big club or build one up?
If you had fuck you money and wanted a top soccer team what league would you go for...
I would buy a small team and have smaller ambitions. Football clubs are endless money pits.
>what league would you go for?
englel, way higher tv income and better spread
>Would you buy a big club or build one up?
depends on what's on the market
ideally you buy a cheap team from championship, invest in players and get them promoted
I'd probably find a way to meme myself into the Bundesliga, like RB Leipzig.
Or Italy
I'd buy any us soccer team and make horrible chants and force the fans to sing it.
Who cares about making money. You already have fuck you money
buy Barcelona then disband it
Conversely, buy Real Madrid and Disband it
Buy psg and hire pep. Then dont spend any money and watch him lose the title. Hold a press conference announcing pep camt win in a farmer's league without spending all my money
i'd buy an mls team in some meme market like omaha nebraska or st louis
Take Accrington Stanley to the champions league, just like in my fm saves
But arsenal and disband it, so their shitty general will go away
based
no save scumming in rl user
Buy Newcastle. EPL so most revenue, plus they already have a big stadium plus an owner who wants to sell as well as a good manager
Turn Liverpool blue and watch the red scousers seethe
EPL and bring back Nottingham Forest to the Top Flight and have them pull a lel treble for 10 years straight.
I’d buy a big club with a lot of tradition on fuck it endlessly by buying overpriced sudacas with nigger mentalities and meme ngbugus with vidya addictions, buy no defenders and an aging keeper
Why not ask Stan for Arselel
He's never gonna sell it.
trips of truth
>tfw Everton win an EPL before Liverpool do
And btfo Barca and Madrid en route to winning it
Heart says Valencia. Brain says some cheap London club in the EPLel.
>Buy Middul FC
>Fill club with fine English lads
>Hire fine English manager
>Fill stadium with fine English blokes
>Only care about winning FA cup
>Qualify for European Competition
>Refuse cause Brexit means Brexit
I’d buy a German club and then buy all of Buyerns players/targets away from them, just to make the league more interesting.
That or takeover Milan so they can go back to being perennial CL competitors. Just need to scout Seedorf, Gattuso, Nesta and maybe Maldini regens. That’ll be the hard part.
I'd buy Ajax. Not to pump money in or anything, it'd be unsustainable. Just to make sure my favorite club never goes bust.
buy millwall and basically have your own ork army
>Qualify for European Competition
>Refuse cause Brexit means Brexit
kek
Either Everton, Aston Villa or Leeds.
An MLS club seems like the most interesting investment to me. Eplel is overdeveloped and there's no money to be made in other European leagues. It's a very long-term project (think 20 years), but riding the wave of soccer rising in popularity in America will be highly profitable (and a memorable road to go through). Actually even EPL doesn't have nearly as much potential due to the smaller size of the country and lack of a number of big cities necessary to sustain a league with 20 equally big clubs.
I will buy Napoli and focus on youth development and build scouting network in South Italy. The whole region is Brazil tier so this will be easy.
Like psg formula. Part of the correct recipe is buying a team from a high - midhigh tier European league from a capital and that were good some decades ago but now is just mediocre.
>I would buy Hertha bsc or SS Lazio.
>Build new stadium (single purposed) 49% with tax money and 51% of own money.
>Sell any player older than 23 y.o
>Sign Bielsa as headcoach for the first 2 seasons to build strong minded young players with just the goal of a European league season.
>Then in the third year sack Bielsa and sign a world class HC and 4 or 5 world class consolidate players and 2-3 world class prospects
>?????
>Profit and keeping good signs wil make us CL winners in 4-5 years
I'd buy leeds. Strip all their assets. Re sell the training ground. Sell any decent player.
Sace bielsa, employ pardew. Sell the stadium, if they own it.
Charge fans over a 1000 a season ticket promising them europe in 5 years
I'd buy young boys
what was the op question?
Build up a little no nothing team like he did with Chelsea
I'd bribe my way into the UEFA presidency, remove VAR for the sake of "the beautifully game's high tempo", then buy all the CL refs. Clubs paying me for an easy ride would make the whole thing profitable but I would low-key favour Porto
I’d buy West Ham and turn them into the Richest, most successful club in London and then the Land.
Man City are a small club with no actual rivals, so their recent superstardom hasn’t pissed anyone off except United, who still aren’t all that fussed by them.
Now, imagine buying West Ham, big, underachieving London Club with an army of fans and intense local rivalries and turning them into the strongest team in England the same way City has transformed themselves.
Imagine how hard Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham (and all the other London clubs ala Fulham and Crystal Palace etc) would be seething year in year out.
City are way up north in a cultural hellhole where people can ignore them, turning West Ham into the greatest club in England then Europe would be in everyone’s face all the time.
Everonians are scousers too you fucking mongo. Moreso since they have less glory hunting fans and a higher percentage of their supporters are local.
YOOOOOOOOOOO LEMME DAB ON THIS THREAD REAL QUICK LMFAO
>If you had fuck you money
why did this make me laugh so hard?
I would buy a mid-table club from high populated city in EPL.
I'd fund my local team because I live near a small city whose club isn't even in the 7th tier.
I'd buy a team that has a name, and small pedigree, but have had past success. I'd buy Ipswich Town and rebuild them.
Wet Spam might be a better idea. An orc army plus a halfway decent team that's already in the Prem.
>cultural hellhole
>manchester
>wants to take over a club based in the East End
yeah im thinking you've never visited either places
everton fans - decent scousers who i would invite over to eat some scouse
l*v*rp**l fans - 96wne
I'd buy Southampton. We would never have to sell a youth prospect again and could buy top players to fill any gaps in the squad. Wouldn't get accused of being a money team either if we had lots of homegrown talent in the squad, no matter how much I spent on pacey foreigners
Retards, all of you.
I'd buy Sheffield Wednesday.
First of all, they're on a positive trajectory plus have chinese willing to sell.
Secondly, they have a huge loyal fanbase and nice blue kits with fucking owls which is based.
Thirdly, they are a historically enormous club and would make United fans seethe.
And the most important part of it is Tango. Imagine his face, seeing his club dominate English football again. Wendy wouldn't have to clean and cook anymore as I'd make sure he's living off off me marketing him. He's the single most valuable asset of the club and England in general. It would make me happy and proud to make him a proper absolute unit again in the metaphorical sense too.
And then we'd play Liverpool at home and the fun would only begin :))
Spend and spend until we'd won ten Champions Leagues in a row
Of course I'd wait until Pinto da Costa died, I could never take over from him
kek
Based portobro gets it
Finally live out my FM dreams with pic related
Buy a mid tier club like Lille, Newcastle, Villareal or Sampdoria
Then invest money while also respecting club's traditions to get the fans to like me
Develop great youth facilities and steal youngsters from Urgay and the rest of the third world
>everton scousers
blue scousers
>liverpool scousers
red scousers
>Blue Scousers
Is that an oxymoron?
You do realise the general exists because there was so many threads about Arsenal, right? I hate you 2014 world cup redditors who know nothing. The general needs to exist to keep the cunts there and for the shitposters to shitpost in. The general wouldn't go away if you disbanded Arsenal because another club would take the mantle (ignoring the fact you couldn't disband it, legal shit would make it impossible).
I would buy my local club, since it's been a merry-go-round of new owners who does sweet fuck all with it anyway. I'd then play FM and use a scout program to find good players who would join and good players who don't, then get the ones who don't to sit down so I can convince them to join which you can't do in the game. Give legends 6 month contracts so they can play and keep their fitness up but also leave on a free at the end, hopefully banging in some goals and breaking some legs. Go all the way back to the top. Sadly this would cost around £10bn to do. That's ignoring the fact I would order the building of world class training and youth facilities, including a dorm for foreign youths with a school and I'd then buy another club or two in my local area and have them pay my main local club to use their training facilities to keep money rolling in. Like Man City does. I'd then create the worlds best youth team and get them to the top too. When we get to championship I'll build a stadium with expansion potential for the rise to the PL. I'd make it the biggest in the country.
All of this would cost like £100bn lmao.
Buy an helicopter and crash it with no survivors.
La Liga doesn't have a new money club so let's buy Betis and uplift them a bit while keeping the other leagues honest.
Mercato:
>Djene from Getafe
>Inaki Williams
>Possibly an aging star that's either getting sold or could be sold for the right price like Douglas Costa or Dries Mertens
>Meme player from a farmer league like Robert Skov or Viktor Tsyhankov
>Player no one rates but me such as Diego Laxalt
Buy my local club, improve the facilities and get the best youth coaches, after a few years the kids would go to the first team and buy some older players that have experience in the lower leagues and eventually start going up.
I would create all-white club, recommend me the top-league where i can pass with it and help me with explaination to media why dont we hire asians/mutts/africans/germans/dutch/english/french nigs
Buy a team in every league outside of the top ones, funnel insane amounts of money to each one, and win the league 20 years in a row to prove how shitty diveball is for having zero parity
I'd buy Bedlington Terriers and build them up to eventually compete at Championship level
I would buy an MLS expansion team with Vince McMahon in southern Connecticut (Not Hartford)
southwestern CT is a youth soccer hot bed. its close to NYC, its where the richest people in the world live, and its close to lots of inner cities as well.
I'd plow money into a Scottish club and give Celtic a proper rival.
Real and Barça can't be bought
Do you have much freedom as an MLS owner? The salary cap makes things more restrictive than Europe.
MLS is a money sink. Don't bother
Burnley?
As a sports business guy, MLS is the best investment you can make despite current limitations.
You can buy in for 200m, and your franchise will be worth 250m by game 1.
all of the limitations MLS has it puts on itself - like Piccolo training with weights on his back.
Even now theyre discussing tripling the salary cap which would make them the strongest league in the Americas over night.
The last 25 years have been infrastructure building and safety - and that job is done.
Now its half the owners saying I don't want to spend more vs the other half saying they want to triple spending.
The rich will win here sooner rather than later.
id expect MLS to be the undisputed top 5 league within 7 or 8 years - IF they make their desired changes.
PSG already has the best squad in France by a country mile. They could hire any of you and win the league without spending a dime.
the crushers of real madrid of course
why are we always the most based posters?
id buy hertha berlin
and a amsterdam team
I read somewhere that Perez created a new policy that in order to be able to candidate against him for presidency you need remain Madrid's club member for at least 30 years and have 500 mil to invest in club. If it's true then there's your price
I'd buy Aston Villa or Athletic Bilbao
or some other obscure-past-glory club
Start a new one. In Hawaii.
that picture could be a painting
Buy something in either a historic town, or a good weather town
based mano.
this board could sustain both a liverpool general and an anti-liverpool general, yet neither exist
why do you think that is
Buy the most popular team in england with the longest history and most historical stadium and then shut down the team and demolish the stadium and build a giant mosque in its place.
correction
have to be Spanish, and been club member/socio for 20 years, and most importantly you have to issue a bank guarantee of 15% of the clubs budget. Also you have to personally own this money. So 500 mil sounds about right.
honestly... based
15% of this season's budget is ~112 million euros. the president doesn't invest the money in the club. the official reason is to keep those nobodies who get wildly rich after a football stint
I'd turn ibrox into the most beautiful tesco extra imaginable
>buy the best teams in every league and put them under an umbrella group à la City

Fantastic post
This
I would do everything to piss of Bayern even if it meant no cl because of ffplmao
He said red scousers, zilchie.
I would want to make the Ligue 1 half interesting, so I'd buy a mid-table like Toulouse (I like those guys) and try to challenge
Excuse me sir, did you see the cup final earlier this week?
>buy local team
>build state of the art youth training facilities
>swoop la masia scouts
>buy every fucking promising 14yo in the continent and give them contracts no other team could
>employ ultras to beat them up if they want to leave for real
>win domestic double in six years time
I'd pump money into the Welsh league on condition Swansea/Cardiff/Newport etc join from the English leagues.
Buy my local team and build them up to a stable upper table team in the top division
>his club
The fans are fuckin disgusting and we will make a celebration out of it. I'll be driven around in a blue phantom with a ngbudu driving me from one scandal to the next. i'll be in the sun all the fuckin time. hooker parties manaco yacht cocaine you know it baby
Only so much you can do with Bilbao, unless you can find a way to bend their player restrictions even more than they already do.
I thought America didn't have promotion/relegation?
I'd buy Milan or Inter and return them to former glory
buy hometown shitters and win cl
>>Only care about winning FA cup
>>Qualify for European Competition
>>Refuse cause Brexit means Brexit
Holy fucking Based
Based and Ponzipilled.
You can't buy Bilbao. It's owned by his fanbase. And the Basques wouldn't sell their pride in a million years
i would buy an cycling team and have the team ride the sky riders off the road and over the cliffs in the grand tours
Sky stopped existing literally today. They're Ineos now.
i'd rather find more jamie vardy's in non-league football
>not buying a french team and turning ligue uhn in to a two team league, eternally cucking p$g
t. mad chicano because mejimierdas are too trash to make it in europe
farmers league
no-one will watch
I used to dream of becoming rich and then buying City and turning us into the best club in Manchester
but the arabs beat me to it :(
same applies because the fuckwit brailsford is still there
>Wet dream
Buy and dissolve PSG, dab at the press conference.
>"Big" club
Buy Palace, become top club in London, win FA Cup, win PL, simple as.
>Small club
Lincoln City, because they're on the rise, but also cheap. I'd aim for promotion to the PL, and maybe be a mid-table team at the very best.
Nottingham Forest, I'd get a top director to buy a slew of the best young players and a top manager to mold them into stars. The ones who pan out stay in the starting 11/bench. The ones who can't cut it are sent out on loan and the ones who are shit get sold for a slightly higher price. We then climb the tables and the leagues till we're back in the Premier League and competing at an elite level. And the best part is that nobody can say the fans are plastic because of their history.
Buy both Inter and Milan, merge them into one club
