are there fire sales in patch 3 ????


Recommended Posts

one thing that annoys me lately in FM09 + FM10 is lack of fire sales... teams dropping out of the premiership and only selling 25% of their 1st team and keeping most of the big wage players. i saw this many a time.

around jan i ripped Portsmouth apart. i used the FMRTE to put them £100,000,000 in the red and upped the wages as well . gave James, Diop, Utaka, Smith, Ben Haim and others all £60,000 a week ......3 weeks later they went bankrupt and slapped with -9 pts penalty .... so they got relegated with Hull and Wigan and that was that .

during the next season around xmas time i glanced at the championship and was shock to see where Portsmouth, Hull and Wigan where in the table.......1st, 2nd and 3rd !!!!

Hull kept all the players only getting rid of Killer Kilban and 5 or 6 youth team players. they even bought some dutch winger for £5mill.

Wigan was the same, only getting rid of 1 first team player, Charles N'Zogbia who went to PSG !

but the biggest Annoyance was Portsmouth ! they restructured the debt. and only got rid of 2 or 3 reserves a few youth team players and Kanu !!!! they kept ALL of the high wage players they even bought 4 player for a total of £9 million and picked up a few free transfers !!!!! where was the FIRE SALE !!!!!!!

so has anyone seen fire sales in the new patch

A club is less likely to pick up average players who are on big contracts, they will expect the big contracts again. Look at Newcastle, they got rid of a few big earners but there are still some there.

Yeah it seems like finances have been made tighter around the leagues so they don't have much to spend. If you look at the top dutch/belgian teams they have top players on around 20k/w. So they not going to pay 60k/w for an average player. This was slightly got around in previous versions as players were more likely to take a drop in wages to go to a club with a better rep or to get more game time or whatever other reason they wanted to leave.

now when I try get players who aren't first team regulars they sometimes want double the wages they were on.

Well in my current save, Pompey, Hull & Wigan were relegated. Now considering Wigan's a fairly well run club with little/no debt I wasn't expecting many sales from them. But Hull would've needed to offload a few players and Pompey a lot. Here are their transfers (Pompey got rid of that many I've had to do 2 screenshots!!!)
