This next experiment is seemingly opposite the Lewes experiment with the only similarity being a world-renowned team.

So what I will be doing is taking last season's champions (Sorry Manchester United) and giving them maximum debt and stripping them of all their money.

I will create a manager with 1/1 CA/PA for them but I will be giving them 10k reputation.

This are the questions to evaluate:

1. How many players will be offloaded in the first season?

2. Will they be offloaded for a bargain price?

3. Will they get relegated?

4. How far will they get relegated?

5. How many times will they go into admin?

6. When will the manager be sacked?

7. What will be the rate of dipping of attendance?

My hypothesis:


1. How many players will be offloaded in the first season?

I think that all players unfit for premiership struggling will be gone.

2. Will they be offloaded for a bargain price?

Definitely.

3. Will they get relegated?

Yes.

4. How far will they get relegated?

League 1?

5. How many times will they go into admin?

Once per three seasons.

6. When will the manager be sacked?

Mid first season

7. What will be the rate of dipping of attendance?

It will follow the rate of stand closure.

They will start with negative 2 billion (will probably be softened by the game just like Lewes so better to be harsh now) and owing the bank and the chairman 2 billion each with 10 years to pay up and will definitely go bankrupt.

The manager's name is Guy Spender and he's 20 years old. He will have a 4 year contract with an extravagant salary of 100k. He will rotten and low mental attributes such as 1 for motivating and 1 for CA and PA. However, he has the confidence of the board and fans.

The debt has been reduced by the game to 1.08 billion, still hard to make in 10 years I reckon.

Thanks, I love West Ham too.

This seems to taking its effect slowly with the computer not realising the great debt yet due to their high estimated value thanks to their players and stadiums.

Ok, this is a failure, AI doesn't recognise it as a bad financial situation and after 2 seasons nothing prominent has happened.

Or the AI recognises that the only way to repay the debt is to keep hold of its assets in order to win games, gain prize money and make profits. I don't think you'll see the club spending, but they won't be mass selling either as otherwise they'll sink down the league and lose money.

nick...

How have they placed in the league in those 2 seasons?

Perhaps the huge boost in reputation is making more players happy to stay.

Very surprised they stil have the manager.
