How much is morale important? How much its effects?

Hello dear fm lovers.. 

Recent days one of my friend's carrier besiktas has relagated from league on second season... as many of you know besiktas is one of big 4 clubs in turkey league..

We can't understand why they relagated. Maybe poor morale can cause it.

 

How much poor morale can impact game?. for example what if man city have very very low morale what would be their rankings in pl ? How will they play their matches?

While not as bad as a few FMs back, it's significant. I find when my team's morale is Good to Perfect a lot more incisive passes and finishes take place. Fewer defensive errors. More robust response to aggressive team talks, etc.

Low morale is when I notice a losing streak develop. So I try to play my tactics safer and mollycoddle the overpaid manchildren a bit until they remember to check their bank balances and cheer up a bit lol

Bad morale can definitely cause problems but I don't think it's enough to make a team like Besiktas to be relegated.
