PUR CHASING SHARES IN A CLUB



All clubs have 10,000 shares from the start. Anyone can buy shares in any club.

The developers hold no voting rights in any clubs for unbought shares.

A player who buys 1% of the shares in a club could become its manager, but it’s also possible someone else may buy 2% and wish to become the manager, and so on. Ultimately, it is up to the shareholders to vote and decide.

Players can trade shares with each other for SMC.

The initial price of shares is in part based on:

Club value, which is based on: Value of soccer players Stadium size Division and league Club wages



MANAGER SELECTIONS



Managers are chosen by shareholders either through assignment or voting on proposals. Proposals are publicly viewable by everyone.

51%+ Shareholder Assignment When someone owns a majority of shares, they can assign any SME player, including himself, to control the club and team as its manager. The majority shareholder can do this whenever they wish. The potential manager must accept the position. If the position is accepted, the previous manager is sacked. Managers can only control 1 club at a time, so accepting a position involves leaving their current position. Proposals Any shareholder can create a proposal to hire a new manager. Proposals should include several items: name of the proposed manager. Weekly wages for the manager denominated in SMC. Whether or not the manager can buy soccer players. Whether or not the manager can sell soccer players. Shareholders vote on the proposal. Just as with the assignment above, the manager must accept the position. If a manager accepts a position, he vacates his previous club and that club is then unmanaged. A manager’s current club (prior to being recruited) can see the public offer to recruit him and place a counter-offer, i.e. a better deal, by publishing a better (for the manager) proposal.

MANAGER BONUS INCENTIVES

Shareholders can propose a bonus if a manager meets particular goals, for example:

Wins the league

The club isn’t demoted at the end of a season

The club is promoted at the end of a season

The club stays in the top half of its league

HOW MANAGERS CONTROL CLUBS



How managers control clubs is substantially similar to other Soccer Manager games, such as Soccer Manager Worlds. However, there are some differences.

The major difference is that shareholders may or may not limit what authority the manager has. That is, they may require a manager’s buying and selling of players to be agreed upon by the shareholders. They can also give the manager complete freedom to do as he sees fit for the club.

AGENTS

All soccer players have available shares to purchase from day 1.

Players can purchase these shares until they are all taken, at which point they can be bought and sold. This is the same process as it is for shares in clubs.

Agents of soccer players receive 10% of the players wages (spread between the agents who own shares in that soccer player).

Agents can accept or decline transfers if the players wages are not enough .

Soccer players have a minimum wage (set from day 1 of SME) of which the wage can never be less.

Under this scenario, agents could potentially block soccer players from being transferred.

CLUB SHARES



Shares in clubs can be bought and sold.
