M.U.F.C....TSVR Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Is this possible? The dividend payout at the end of every season causes problems financially and Im sick of it. Has anyone seen Manchester United taken over in FM12? Its not possible to bring a takeover about so I guess Im in hope here! Lousy glazers....

x42bn6 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Pretty much every single club pays dividends in some form. After all, the owners... own the club, and therefore will reap the profits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flohrinho Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Welcome to reality. But no never seen MUFC been taken over in my 10 season save game. They have won the league 5 times in the last 9 years though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.U.F.C....TSVR Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 £526 million was abit too much, Insecure financial status now. 1 more season and Im resigning! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total_Chaos Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Not seen it happen personally (although I do recall reading on here that someone had it happen, so it's perfectly possible). And yes, paying out large sums of money to shareholders is infuriating when you've done enough to secure financial stability, but thats a life us United fans have got used to since Glazernomics became standard.

Its ruined the save, I dont wanna resign but theyre looking at player sales so Im stuck. Asked for some editting advice so Im starting a save without them lousy glazers, just a decent chairman so its fair. God damn glazers (thats putting it kindly)!!!

Sikker Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have this problem myself with Brøndby IF. That is until now where my board have finally accepted to build a new stadium. They took out a huge loan and this season they didn't pay any dividends. The season before a huge dividend were paid out even though we lost money that season. I've made a bug report about it: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/304396-Paying-dividends-at-club-owned-by-themselves Feel free to join Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Things Could Get Messi Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 There is plenty of reality in this. My board will always either pay out dividends or spend money on something to improve the club like increase the capacity of the stadium. If it wasn't for this I would have 100s of millions by now.

Sikker Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 As such I don't mind paying dividends. But it's plain stupid when the club pays out dividends to an amount that eventually will bankrupt the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicha_14 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 In the past few years on my Barca save I've been paying £30m as well as the bonuses at the start of the season being like £15m each just for medium. This doesn't matter too much at Barca and Real because they get tons of money but for others you can see why this would kill there balance because they get now where near the TV rights of the Spanish two.

M.U.F.C....TSVR Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah it seems unfair that it goes to like an extreme. I dont care if 'it happens' but £526 million? Insecure financial status? Sorry for ranting but it seems stupid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
achilles-the-victorious Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 LOL, 526m pounds is a bit much. My board pays out some $40 to $50m each year, and my bank balance is up to $900m Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordUnitedFC Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 No takeover in my save with them but when the loans were paid off in around 2017 i had a very decent bank balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMADDICT69 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 i got taken over as man utd in 2015. now got a nice healthy/stable bank balance of £7-800m. so yes it is possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flohrinho Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 £526 million was abit too much, Insecure financial status now. 1 more season and Im resigning! 526 million in one year? That surely is a bug. My revenue with Dortmund last season was around 375 mio. € and I paid more then 46 mio. € in dividends last season. It's a bit hard to imagine why your dividends are sooo much higher unless it's a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balance for the club was around £800 mil, they took £526. Finances went to 'Okay' and then around 1 month later - insecure. I didnt misread it, I wasted alot of my time in the save so I started again. It really, really annoyed me. Thanks for the info on the takeover possiblities.
