I have never had this happen, has anyone on here? Would love to see a few screenshots if anyone has.

Also does anyone know when SI first implemented this feature? I am currently having a little bash on FM06 and would love to know if it's in that version.

I don't think it's a totally new feature, not sure if it stretches back to FM06 though.

It was introduced whenever the function to build a new stadium was introduced. Maybe 07 or 08.

Cheers boys. Tried Miles on twitter but he didn't know in his usual sarcastic tone.

Really want it to be on 06 as I found the disc and fancy a long run dynasty.

I managed Chelsea for 7 seasons and won the league 5 times, the euro cup 3 times, not to mention various league/FA/charity shield trophies. basically I became a 'legend'. after much badgering of the board I finally got them to agree to build a new stadium. and guess what they called it. 'The David Luiz Arena'!
I was livid! I wouldn't care, but I had sold him to real Madrid 3 seasons past so he wasn't even at the club anymore!

I think I would've taken the 'john terry' or 'frank lampard' arena over that.

Yeh I saw on SI forums when creating the same thread over there. Turns out they're all obsessed with claiming success than helping me as these boys did.

On topic, that's a rubbish name for a Stadium. It would mean something had you bought him and he was a success.

I wouldn't have cared that much if he had retired or was still playing for me, but for a top class world side to name its new stadium after a player still playing AND for a euro cup rival was just silly IMO and defo wouldn't happen IRL. was a massive kick in the teeth as well considering the success I'd brought them. bad AI but it gave my mate a good laugh who I was playing in the network game.

First person I ever saw do this was my homeboy Zoli. Shoutout to that Romanian G.

It happened to me on FM12 when I had a savegame going with Sheffield United. Took them from League One and short of bankruptcy to the top of England and Europe, winning the PL three times, 1 EURO Cup and two CL-trophies. Expanded Bramall Lane to 42000 and then a year after I talked to the board on building a new stadium and they concurred. 57000 All seater "Giraldo Park" became a reality. I just remember the board saying they decided to name the stadium after "the greatest manager in club-history".

Proud moment!

I have a career going with Mirandela, I'm by far the best thing to hit the town since zombie Jesus (I'm in the year 2081, he came about in the 2060s), but the club overlooked me when naming the new stadium. Once more they overlooked our best ever player imo (Carlos Santos), our best ever striker (Alex Oliveira) and instead chose Joao Pedro and called the new stadium the Joao Pedro stadium, or the ESTADIO JOAO PEDRO for those familiar with the Portuguese tongue. Now don't get me wrong, Joao Pedro was a good little player, he was an AMR, ST, played with us for about a decade and I think he got nearly 200 goals. But still, he's no Carlos Santos.

I'm hoping to get a new stadium soon like, stadium was built in 2066 and we've maxed it out at a 38k capacity and we sell it out in nearly all our games, even pull 36k in home cup games against non-league sides. Board aren't budging on the matter though, I think its time for a new chairman with some real ambition.

I had this happen in FM12 in a long save with Dortmund, and recently in FM14 with Toulouse who I had only been managing with no major success of note for around 6 seasons but they named a new stadium after me.
