Jeff.fm10 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Guys, In my FM15 save, I was managing a lower league club and I tried to sign players without any regards to finance. As long as the board approved it I went for it. As a result, with 3 games to play in the season, I am in 8th place which is a lot higher than expectations so the board are very happy. However, the club is very much in debt (in the red) and the board say this is something I will have to address in the coming months. Then FM16 was released and I never finished my FM15 save. So my question is what would happen if you disregard finances and go all out to win? What would happen to the club if they are so far in debt. I'm tempted to try this again in my FM16 save.

Welshace Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Just as you'd imagine, unless you have a sugar daddy backing you, the club will be in massive debt, you'll fail FFP, be sanctioned, deducted points and generally do a portsmouth.. Doesn't matter how well you do on the field, you'll eventually drop through the leagues and cripple the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk Enchants Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Leeds did the same thing. You'll just plummet, always spend within your means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrw072 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think you could get away with it. Really depends which team you're managing though! If its a team who can afford to take the losses you're probably just better off going for it and worrying about it later. But if you're punching well above your weight, as others have said, your probably the better off just spending within your means! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieu Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It is risky, very risky, but if you are a lower league team it could work, if you overachieve enough. And then I mean really overachieve. and we are not talking about finishing 8th here, we are talking promotion so that your club can get extra money from playing at a higher level. It can be done. I have done it before on earlier versions of FM. Never on 16 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff.fm10 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 The team I was managing was Farnborough FC in the 6th Tier so I don't know what the effects would be. With only 3 games left in the season, it would be a long shot for me to make the playoffs. The odds are against it. I've never played FM like this before. I've always made sure that my finances were okay but this season I said "What the hell and let's go for it and see what happens." Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
