Liquidation.

Is it possible on Football Manager, to get a club into liquidation?

Has anyone managed it?

Not so far as I know; the receivers step in.

Not in this forum, we strive for realism - none of us would try to get a club liquidated.

Unless they are a rival team, where we pray they get liquidated!
Usually, a club losing money hand-over-fist just slips down the leagues and eventually exits the lowest league possible. Occasionally they later reincarnate without debts, thats the closest you are going to get im afraid

Doesnt happen much though. Imagine Chelsea or Arsenal losing all their billions and dropping down to north/south and then even below. Impossible, unless you really are trying, like buying a **** player for 3000000000000000 pounds.

I do. I dream about it every night. And sometimes during the day.

Sorry, I didn't mean has anyone done it intentionally. That would be stupid, unless you're managing Forest (

)

Perhaps it should be implemented in future versions.

Has any EPL/EC club been liquidated IRL?

Leeds would be the closest I guess - although they never went technically into administration during the PL season, which would have resulted in docked points etc.

Check the Guardian footie site - they have a Q&A archive you can search for this kind of stuff.

I think Dave Cusack managed it once.

Weren't Wimbledon in deeper sh!t than Leeds?

Liquidation.

Football Manager 2008 has a database compromising of tens of thousands of players.
