The Clan Rules

Updated for FM 2010.

  1. Must have MSN, broadband and be using FM 2010 the 10.3 patch. Strictly no Unofficial patches.
    • When new patches are released, it is important to talk this over with the whole of the clan before downloading to correlate with each other and not disturb playing times
  2. All players are expected to be on MSN at 7pm for T&T and 7.30 GMT at the latest for the game on Mondays and Thursdays.
  3. Playing times will be 7.30pm-11pm GMT on Mondays and Thursdays.
  4. If Players cannot make the session then they are expected to alert Al, or one of the other clan members, and the game will continue as normal.
  5. When the dreaded sacking comes, players are given the choice of carrying on as unemployed in dire hope of a job application being accepted or to retire and become the new manager of any club below their last clubs standings.
    • So for example if they had been sacked from club X who were 16th in the Premiership, they would have a choice between the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th club. However if their club is last in the league then they must choose one other team from the bottom 3.
    • However if all this is too complicated to understand, the manager may add himself back as his old team.
  6. If you are sacked as the result of a Board Takeover, you can retire and add back in as the same team.
  7. Any job offers can be accepted, rejected and applied for except international jobs.
  8. All Friendly Matches must be taken control of by assistants.
  9. To also ensure a fast moving game, all times between transfer windows (i.e. September to January and February to August) the managers need go on holidays in between their matches unless otherwise stated by the host or a very important transfer needs to be secured.
    • If another player has a match and your team does not then again you can come off holidays to do any stuff you might need to.
  10. Matches must be played with key highlights only or only commentary with match speed at full. Highlights should be set to a reasonably fast pace (usually 3/4 or full), if too slow the player will be notified. Replays should also be turned off.
  11. To keep optimum performance levels the following options must be unticked:
    • Show Player Pictures
    • Show Badges / Logos
    • Show Background Pictures
    • Show Unique IDs
    • Sound on all PC's
    • Move matches for TV
  12. A 30 second period of forced continue will be used to ensure the game moves along.
  13. You cannot sign another human manager's player if he isn't online at that time.
  14. You cannot have other manager's players on your shortlist indefinitely.
  15. New clan members will start with the following:
    • A Championship side, excluding any that have a points deduction
    • Past experience set to Semi-Professional Footballer
    • Will not abuse the Nationality or Second Nationality options to help their clubs scouting knowledge.
  16. Each member of the clan is required to post regular updates in the game thread on the sigames forums - Clan Thread
    • This will help us become an "FMO Established Clan"
  17. Players are limited to 20 signings per season (July 1st - June 30th), not including loans. Any manager who breaks this rule will have to sell off the excess players for a significant loss and will not be allowed to play them.
    • Exceptions might be made if you take over a club and they have already made several signings.
