@Davison: “Sunderland has one of the biggest Fan bases in the world”

Where did you read this nonsense? They are not even in the top 10. Read it here: http://www.futebolfinance.com/en/o-numero-de-socios-dos-clubes-2009/

2. New countries

By the way, whenever anyone would like to help with the addition of a new country please send us an email with all or some of the following information:
- current team names for the two top divisions (if the team name is too long and a shorter version exists please send the short version…e.g. Deportivo La Coruña → La Coruña)
- number of teams relegated/promoted per season
- team logos (25×25 transparent png imager OR any size/format images OR link to website(s) where we can find ALL the logos)
- league and cup names
I guess that’s it :)

You also have to take into account sponsorship that comes from companies with a sales base only within the teams country itself. As not all sponsorship comes from global multinational companies who are interested in a teams wider global exposure.

Interesting discussion, we should keep it going a little bit more before taking any actions :)

Well, sponsors want to be associated with the winning team regardless of their rankings in the books of UEFA.
Who cares where Manchester city are at the UEFA rankings, but then tell me a single sponsor that doesn’t want to be associated with it.

My point is that if the team is doing well in the league the current season, then its team ranking should be overridden. “Team Rankings” generally represents the past and past should not influence the current performers.
And i would also say that if a team suddenly perfoms below its usual level during a particular season ( for eg, a team ranked top 10 in the world rankings finished 10th in the league ), then its income should not dip down too much.

werid because Sunderland Brought Umbro to the Premier league and Sunderland has one of the biggest Fan bases in the world

Big compagnies rather sponser teams like Barca or Real, because they get far in CL and get lots of publicity. Who cares about small teams like sunderland or Brest….

This is just fine. In our fictional football game this can apply just fine. Nike would rather sponser teams like napoli, Hertha or Brest, who manage to always do well in the champions league. They rather not sponser smaller teams like Sunderland or Levante who don’t represent there brand aswell, like the big teams could. Nike wants to be “linked” to the best. It’s simpel marketing :)

2. For sale or loan

SUNDERLAND AFC is having a sale of players to generate income for future youth and younger

this includes players that dont have a Blue arrow (transfer listed)

so tell me the player your willing to buy and we can talk.

oliver,letaeo,westhall,hillig are the only players i am NOT willing to sell

i agree cos who the hell cares what the rest of the world thinks of your team… its about the city you represent and the country your in.

rank it internally in country and have attendance be based on results and where in the table you are.

also id like to see a salary cap in place. for wages of 100,000+ for players… who the team just puts up on loan cos they cannot afford that wage but did it to get in the player and then loan him out… then to sell to make profit… that to me is a cheating of the system..and a waste of a player

Team sponsorship should be related to the teams ranking within its own country not its global ranking.

1. Topic: General
2. board expectations

shouldn’t that be related also with the current league rankings.
i feel team rankings, current league standing and Country Rankings all should be decided as the factors…

The sponsorship value is directly related to the team score in this page: http://www.rubysoccer.com/game/manager_ranking?page=1&ranking=T
Merchandise value has to do with average player quality…not all players, just the best ones for each position…how many from each position is a secret ;)
