FM 09 Bankrupcy

Hi i am just woundering will the world being in a reccesion will some f the team like westham etc be bankrupt on the game ?? i hope so i like a good old money challenge !!!

chimbonda!

That is about as important as what you are asking. Considering the recession has only just come up they probably wouldnt have it in the game.

clubs lose money and get points taken off for going into administration on the game, I have never seen a team go bankrupt though, wouldn't that mean they would have to shut down, would be harsh to code that into the game.

Yeah but think about it if you watch the news 2 weeks ago westham owners money went down the p**s pot so lol

what exactly are you asking for?

seperate finances for owners and clubs, and when one is losing out it affects the other?

Administration and bankruptcy is in the game, but the clubs never go out of business and are eventually taken over. Points deducations are in there as well, but I doubt anyone like West Ham are going to start the game bankrupt, you could edit the finances with a thrid party programme though.

we often hear about clubs saying stuff like" we were five days away from being wound up", so in theory it will be possible for clubs to cease trading, same as any other business.

although its never happened i would say that the money spent in football in the last ten years has also never happened before, a premier league club could be wiped out in real life, but i doubt it will be written into 09.

Would be quite good to see it just every now and then in the game. Like with non-league teams, or small teams with sugar daddy chairmen.

SI have already said that clubs won't fold.

I've always said that fun shouldn't be sacrificed for realism. Personally finances is one area that can seriously detract from the fun if it isn't balanced properly and big clubs go in to administration, as I seen happen on FM08 too often

They won't let clubs fold for legel reasons amongst others.

Want to see more point deduction though...

it would be a good touch but it is too once in a blue moonish

Would also be good to see teams do a Gretna. Go from the bottom league to the top league in successive years, and then get relegated back down to the bottom league and fold.

SI won't do it - legal reasons.

what exactly are you asking for?

seperate finances for owners and clubs, and when one is losing out it affects the other?

Actually - that is a pretty good idea.

Having a seperate random event that involved a chairman losing money through non football related reasons, and bein forced to - or mor receptive to the idea of felling the club.

I wouldn't expect the full economic cycle, and this to intentionally hit multible owners at the same time to be in the game though...

I personally don't think it's that good idea to allow recessions to affect in game actions, at the moment there may be a recession but we can't be sure when it will end. i think the economics in the game shouldn't be linked with current global economic matters. You reach 2017 with Barca and suddenly your sponser goes bust and you lose bags of cash because FM decided to have a huge global recession that year and your attendence for the home game with Real is 587. because no one has any cash. maybe have some hyper inflation trouble so 30mil is suddenly the cost of a loaf of bread instead of Messi
