Old Boys Basel

Fuck off, Valentim,we gave you good players from the academy and give all of them to Benfica!

I wouldn't invest unless I was prepared to lose that money because football is one of the worst investments that exist
I would go for the most marketable clubs worldwide that would be potentially available for sale and already have lucrative marketing deals so probably man u
I would then do what they should have done in the first place and appointed pottchetino and just given him money to buy players

Ajax

kinda hard to keep them in if they cant earn much

I'd like to buy a club outside of the big club clique. I think there's more ambition and challenge is that. Someone like Sevilla, Valencia, Everton, Napoli or Bordeaux.

My local 3rd division team to be honest, I would even make myself a player-coach for the first season or so

Bayern.
Bring back Heynckes, buy Sané, Dybala, De Ligt and Havertz. Proceed to win everything for the next 10 years

you would never make it anywhere these days because FFP was brought in to stop teams like these from competing with the "big dogs"
just look what is happening to city right now

Nottingham Forest

Fuck this and fuck customers.
I'd buy my local team from the third (second next season yay) Russian league and guide it to glory. Also I'd build new stadiums and youth academia in my city and develop kids sports.

I buy >Schalke, take all funds from the football division and pour it into the e-""sports"" division so I can watch them bottle it against Koreans.
>Schalke

Bollocks. City weren't one of the "big dogs" when the PL started. There are ways round any rules and, with the right circumstances and determination, Everton could certainly be top three. It might give the ABLs a bit of variety in their worthless little lives, if nothing else.

Attached: 1542892303814.png (621x621, 489K)

exactly, city were in the lower league when the premier league started so the fact that they are now the best team in the PL is obviously frustrating to teams like arsenal, chelsea, man u and liverpool so they are pushing the FA to punish city for breaking imaginary rules to try and get a point deduction/transfer ban so they can make up some ground on them in the league

Why not?

because they're miles away from even breaking into the top 6 and they will get fucked up the arse by FFP before that every happens

>obviously frustrating to teams like arsenal, chelsea, man u and liverpool
Chelsea are only where they are through being bankrolled by Red Rom. Liverpool are only where they are through being bankrolled by Moores.

fuck right off, we don't need fixing and we most definitely dont need oil clubs in our league

exactly and the same with man u and arsenal but they just did it earlier than city so they think they have some right to always be at the top on their own

I'd love to buy Ferroviário and turn it into a national powerhouse, investing on new and improved facilities and on a cantera system.

This is why you invest in promoting the club and increase turnover so it allows to to spend more. This is exactly what Spurs have done.

Internazionale de Milano

their kits are the best, only AC Milan comes close.

this is what city have done and they are still trying to fuck them over

That's because it's not just what City have done at all. They've poured hundreds of millions into salaries and transfer fees, and then tried to deceive UEFA and circumvent the FFP rules by employing dubious payment practices.

Trippier Mee Tarkovsky Shaw

6.

9. 10. 11.

>Tippier 30m
Ok he hasn't been great this last season and was poor last night but he is a quality player and I think he would do better with a change of scenery. Fit s into my team well.
>Mee 25m
Quality defender for a reasonable price. Ideal to bring in alongside his defence partner Tarkovsky from Burnley, and Tipper who used to play for Burnley.
>Tarkovsky 30m
Similar reasons as Ben Mee.
>Maguire 50m
Brilliant player. Would be a seamless transition for United.
>Ward-Prowse 25m
Quality lad who is ready to make the next step up to a big team.
>Bale 40m
Ready and available to move on from Madrid. Ideal forward partnership with Kane.
>Kane 120m
Kane will never win anything stuck at Tottenham. A revamp of United would be the ideal club for him to stay in the Premier League.
>Brandt 25m
Im aware he has just gone to Dortmund but he would have been the ideal signing for United and if I were in charge it would have happened.

Feyenoord, Olympique Marseille, Valencia or Fiorentina

everton, every season publicly declare a new stadium plan and a 200m warchest then just sell the best players and do a land survey of some random park

Make it happen user, this would be awesome.

United, hands down
they have such a far global appeal and their shirtsales would be massive if you could get them to win the champions league, or even recreate the treble

There would be the trickle down effect in the league that could turn Indonesia into an okay league (by Asian standards) and with more clubs able to go full time, the standard of domestic players would improve and Indonesia could potentially qualify for the WC.

Lol you’re kind of cute Portugal.

>Is that meant to be a good thing? So many people mean retards like Bartomeu stay in charge with no repercussions
Barca has some control, I think they can't have economic loses two years in row or something. Real Madrid has much worse, Florentino Perez is a dictador and nobody can't running against him because he enabled new rules to candidates.

But they are technically in the 4th division. Ekstraklasa (1st division), 1 Liga (2nd division), 2 Liga (3rd division) and 3 Liga (4th division). And yeah, on my main was Motor when I said that I want to buy my local team. Damn, nice to meet user from the same city tho.

i'd buy a team with a high proportion of right-wing ultras, and turn the team into an LGBT-promotion tool. rainbow kit, Right Said Fred for the team to run out to. make everything gay.

Real Zaragoza is probably the most "improveable" team in the Spanish top two divisions:

-In the second tier since 2013
-In the 5th most populated city in Spain (660k inh.)
-Most prestigious club in the region
-Stadium needs a reform, but has an acceptable capacity
-Fans are not very fairweather
-Decent trophy cabinet, historic team in Spain

That's a great choice imo. For anyone with smaller money the really interesting ones would be:
>Grasshoppers Zürich
- largest city in Switzerland
- swiss record champion
- Solid fan base with a lot of growth potential/win back old fans
- great tier stadium coming soon
- broke as fuck right now
- swiss league has easy as fuck CL/EL spots where only 2 teams at most compete for
- great youth development that held the club together in the last 10 years

>Everton de Vina Del Mar
- good fan base
- second most populated region
- 2015 renovated great stadium
- was never great but won some titles and has history
- easy as fuck to reach copa libertadores/sud americana spots in the chilean league
- endless bandwagoner potential
- solid youth development

Both are teams you could pull up with something like a 50 Million investment from meh to a top 3 challenger within 2-3 years most likely going for a cup win within one season.
