Which clubs go bankrupt ?

which clubs go bankrupt in the game using patch 10.2 ?

You have two threads on this?! :confused:

Bournemouth and Watford (should be).

There are some great challenges in here, Challenges, Sign-ups and Experiments

EDIT: Woops, wrong link

Middlesbrough seem to go bankrupt, on every save i have played, about a couple of seasons in they always get deducted 9 points.

gainsbourgh :L:L

What happens when a club goes bankrupt? Do clubs ever fold and go completely from the game?

No, clubs are always saved as far as i know

1) They will just have a takeover.

2) No.

Watford don't go bankrupt, when they should with the debts they have but they don't even come close.

Watford didn't go bankrupt in my save. Newcastle did though.

West Ham on my save, in the second season(i'm in 3rd), they're are docked 9 points for going into administration(didnt pay players salary).Didn't matter though coz they finished in 12th, otherwise they're would have finished in 8th

Liverpool and Man U tend to in like 2020 or something, it's 2015 on my save now and Man U have debts of over £1b

bayern every time

middlebrough and blackburn on mine

I would love to see that picture

Bolton went bakrupt on mine, got docked 9 points and got relegated. (although the points deduction was meaningless considering they only scored a pitiful 16 points before that)

Newcastle and Middlesbrough.

Portsmouth were deducted 9 points in my save for going into administration.

Deportivo listed all their players to try and reduce the wage bill, making 42mil before getting relegated causing wage cuts so they should survive.

bolton just went into administration in my game as well. the points deduction meant they got relegated down to league 1 by 1 point. all their best players are for sale but they should still be 2 strong for that division

As an American, none of this surprises me really. I am not bashing anything here, but I am afraid that European clubs will soon (IRL) face the same problems that professional American sports franchises (all sports here) have faced with money--you better have an owner with deep pockets who treats the club/franchise like his hobby rather than a business because few EVER make money.

Example: I am originally from Kansas City and the professional baseball team I follow is the Kansas City Royals. Our current owner was the former CEO of Wal-Mart. He runs the team like he ran Wal-Mart; paying the players dirt cheap and barely fielding a competitive squad. As a result, he is one of three or four owners who makes money each year. He does so at the expense of us, the fans. The only other franchises that routinely make money have their own TV stations, marketing in major areas, etc.

Back to my original point, this will likely happen in Europe to soccer/football clubs; especially in smaller markets trying to compete with the Chelseas of the world. This being the case, it doesn't surprise me that the game could simulate the same phenomenon.

Not like Randy Lerner at Villa

I would love to see that picture

Sure at work as of the moment, can upload later?

Man U got sent into admin, and had all their value cleared =/ They're worth £189m now and finished 16th last season i think

In my game, Southampton, Newcastle (twice), Fulham and Middlesbrough have all had 10 points docked for going into admin.

Example: I am originally from Kansas City and the professional baseball team I follow is the Kansas City Royals.

Have seen Liverpool and occasionally Newcastle go into administration especially if they dont get promoted quickly enough.

going a little off topic now but George Brett is my mother's 2nd cousin

Erm, quite. Remind us once again the nationality of the robber-barons screwing Man U and Liverpool?
