ReggaeBwoy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 IRL Crawley are known as the Manchester City of their divisions because of the amount of money they have spent (quiet a lot). Can I know if this will be reflected in the new patch as in the last patch the money count was not that good compared to what they have irl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

o JaY Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think their transfer budget was low because I think the researchers take into account what was spent in the summer e.g. around 300,000 for Brodie but I know their finances are brilliant for BSP level, they got around £1,000,000 for their FA Cup tie vs Man Utd. Not sure if their budget will be improved but I think that their finances will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizza Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It's probably quite hard to model the "Steve Evans being a crook" effect in a football manager game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackripper Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I don't think the prize money they got from there fa cup run will be implemented in the new patch. However I could be wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb001 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I don't think the prize money they got from there fa cup run willbe implemented in the new patch. However I could be wrong It wouldnt be a hard thing to change thou but probly a minor detail compared to the updated transfer, fixs ect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I could be wrong Probably not, depending on the patch cut off point. At least they'll have lots of money for FM12, when they'll probably be in League 2 (and hopefully with Luton ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggaeBwoy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 OK thanks for that people, I hope they get a decent amount as I am thinking about starting a new patch with them and I'm a bit confused about the idea of Steve Evans as a crook. Was it something to do with his Boston days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It wouldnt be a hard thing to change thou but probly a minor detail compared to the updated transfer, fixs ect yes but in the game, that match against man u might never happen, so they cant add money for a game that may or may not happen at some point during the first season of the game, so the money will never be added im afraid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
o JaY Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 yes but in the game, that match against man u might never happen, so they cant add money for a game that may or may not happen at some point during the first season of the game, so the money will never be added im afraid For FM12 it should be added because the match will have been played the previous season and Crawley have the money in their account.

dannyfc Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I hope they programme a feature that'll mean they become financially unstable two seasons in when the owners leave/get outed as frauds. How many huge investments do we see fail to materialise after the initial honeymoon period? Notts County for instance have slashed their budget in comparison to last season, where as in FM 10 they continued to spend excessively for years and years after. Obviously SiGames can't see the future, but it'd be cool to have a variable that would determine whether a tycoon sticks around for the long haul or not.

TBH after finding the full truth about it now I am surprised he is allowed to even manage again but irl I have a soft spot for Crawley for there FA Cup heroics.

Tyler Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Where did they get this money all of a sudden? I believe they were having points deducted for financial issues a few years ago in the Conference??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 For FM12 it should be added because the match will have been played the previous season and Crawley have the money in their account. yes for FM12 but by then the money could have been spent on various other things so it may never be in the game.

DMN (YCFC) Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 In a few years once the source of their money has been exposed, crawley will go pop. They have only 700 real fans (according to their own supporters trust) and are paying the likes of Brodie and Tubbs circa £2K a week. Its simply not sustainable. Sadly the FA are too incompetent to do anything about it, and the BBC too dumb to realy investigate it. However the always excellent David Conn did a bit in the Guardian about them. It's probably quite hard to model the "Steve Evans being a crook" effect in a football manager game. That man should not be allowed anywhere near a football team. He is a cheat and a fraud and was not punished for his crimes. Not only did he deny Dagenham a title that was theirs, he stole from every tax payer in the UK.

TBH after finding the full truth about it now I am surprised he is allowed to even manage again but irl I have a soft spot for Crawley for there FA Cup heroics. They where a disgrace against Torquay, played time wasting tactics from the first minute, Players feining injury when they where about to be substituted, assistant manager pushing and shoving people, They are not a humble team, they are universally hated by lower league teams, only wish the media knew that and stopped bigging the scum up.

Nobby_McDonald Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Crawley's manager is a crook. See Boston United when they got promoted to the Football League. Dontask in post 14 has posted brief details of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
