Do you hate the owner of your club? Does he never grant your wishes, expand your stadium, or just…sod…off? Then this might be for you… If you already manage a socios type club, then you know the deal …

I have given all 50,000+ non-extinct/institute/all-star clubs an Ownership Type of Member-Owned Ltd with Elections to level the playing field financially … i.e., the Gary Neville wet dream (and yes, it took my Editor an aaaaaage to process this Edit)

Will this help smaller clubs develop if they have different President every 4-years who may be open to new possibilities? Will it stop clubs like PSG running away every year now that daddy might not stick around anymore to pay the ridiculous wage bills? Who knows, but it might be fun to find out!

Ownership Type - Member-Owned Elections Ltd - no more Privately owned clubs with a Pres who sticks around until his in-game death!

Election Date - 01/07/2021, so last year … meaning you may have a new Pres in 2025!

Promises - 0, the default - so as at least to give all clubs a level setting - this can be amended, if you think it will make this more … interesting

Max Length of Term - 4 years, potentially 4 great or awful years …

Max Number of Terms - 100, so they could stick around forever! or they could make a comeback … you might get a dictator, but that's not my fault …

Stop Outside Takeovers - only people already on the board can be in the elections, so no outside hostile takeovers

Rich Benefactor - Wiped, as well as Background and Underwriters … sorry/not sorry PSG, City, Newcastle fans

If anyone wants to long-term test this, that'd be great - please feedback anything fun, or interesting, or crap, or buggy - and let me know if you see any outside takeovers at all!

And if you have any suggestions about amendments - fire away (wiping debts, giving all clubs Promises of more money, new manager, new players, stadiums, etc. for a laugh)

Amended sugardaddy and valid_takeover edt files - these will stop clubs in, say, Germany, from having the Member-Owned Elections Ltd type

These go into SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2023\data\database\db\2300\edt\permanent

Overwrite the ones that are there

Additional File update -

I noticed on a holiday-run that in 2025 certain privately owned German clubs such as Bayern and Dortmund didn't have elections, unlike other clubs - I believe this is because of the valid_takeover edit file within the Steam folders

I have uploaded a now-blank valid_takeover edit file to post #1 for download
