KevMaaan Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Just a question, or perhaps a few questions. In real life, teams are punished for not paying their players, entering administration etc etc, but i don thnik iv seen a single team go bust in fm (and ive been playing ALOT since fm 08) I guess my question is, is there any real punishment for overspending? I usually overspend so i decided to start a new save and play very arsene wenger-esque with my budgets and aim for turning profit. I'm just wondering if theres any pointto this is your chairman will always end up bailing you out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 The ultimate punishment of a side going bust doesn't exist in FM, it's also very unlikely that a manager would be sacked if they spend a club into administration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Teams will never go bust in FM due to legal reasons iirc. The worst teams will get is a point fine, administration and that'll be it afaik. Chairman don't always and won't always bail you out. It depends on their attributes as to how they go about their business. Some chairman will spend and spend and then withdraw their funding. I have seen tycoons do this and someone posted a thread about it a few months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMaaan Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Is there any way to "fix" this in the editor? I would love to see some clubs go completely bust. Would add realism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 There isn't. Again for legal reasons iirc they wouldn't be able to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMaaan Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 There isn't. Again for legal reasons iirc they wouldn't be able to do it. That sucks. Is there abso;lutely no sneaky lawyer free way around this for SI? Like a simple string of: If at the end of the season a team is in administration, said team gets automatically relegated? Or something. Think Rangers from the scottish leagues, without having to "be a new club" etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I don't think the issue is a legal one but is more to do with finding a stable way to make clubs go bust, most never actually truly vanish as they tend to get reformed lower down the league pyramid & AFAIK it is this aspect which would prove problematic.

gunner86 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I can't imagine that replacing, say a Championship or L1 side that goes bust would be tremendously easy. And in all fairness, its not all that common that sides get expelled from the league. Pompy have come closer than most, but even they have been saved by a last ditch takeover.

QWERTYOP Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Not something I want to see. Imagine playing a long journeyman game going all over the world, and then fancying ending your career at your favourite hometown club only to find they're not in the game anymore. No thanks.

Could still happen if they get relegated from the playable league structure... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias333 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Need a happy medium. as qwertyop mentioned (as well as others) I wouldnt like to see teams going bust etc...as like other issues that often get requested they rarely happen. Very rare a club vanishes totally from existance. However I would like to see the balance of clubs meeting financial problems balanced out slightly as it seems more and more clubs are getting into money problems in real life. Like people have said legally they cant have clubs going out of business just like they cant have a news item come up saying wayne rooney fails a drugs test etc....but id love to see the stats of the chairman and board members used more. For example similar to people mentioned say your chairmans got poor stats then maybe he would be more inclined to give you a budget that will lead the club going down the wrong path financially (unless you spot it). If you get what I mean that is. It kind of already works in the sense that if there patience level is low you'll get the sack quicker than if its better stats wise.

hhhonlyfan1984 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 im guessing no one here knows a lot about laws and coding aswell. they cannot replicate and make clubs go bust due to legal reasons (i believe sigames and sega have been threathend with legal action from different clubs and players in the past) and the coding for this would be extemely hard to do. take this from someone who knows a little about coding. i dont claim to be an expert but the coding on such an in depth stat based game is ridiculous.

forameuss Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wouldn't be impossible, but then any question of how feasible it might be is pretty pointless given there's no way they'll ever approach it for legal reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
