Definately take it, a lot of people have posted about this and I can't wait for it to happen in my game. The chance to become Fergie-esque and make them glorious again is too good to refuse.

I agree, thats sounds like a great challenge.

I hope it happens in my game, I'm on the brink of greatness with Birmingham :p but looking forward to United being in a similar postion.

I would definitely go for the job as it looks like a good challenge.

By the way, with regards to debts, do clubs go into administration in this game and have their debt cleared / get bought out and have money injected? I've not seen in happen yet but I've only really played as rich teams (or I've made them rich).

Wouldn't the Man Utd youth system still be in place even after that collapse? Or does it suffer because of this?

Clubs can go into administration but i've never seen them deducted points. A new buyer and chairman comes in and gives new money to spend although usually not much.

The youth system of UTD would still be in place because they have top youth setup and training facilities, these cannot be reduced or deteriorate.

It's so unrealistic the way on everyones game they go into administration etc and become crap.

do what i do and use the modifyer to make the game more realistic

(i'm a Liverpool Supporter by the way)
Its not unrealistic at all. One or two bad seasons of failing to qualify for the CL, and not winning anything, will mean they would have to sell their best players to be able to meet their loan payments. It could all go downhill from there.

Its a risk the Glazers took, and if it goes wrong, the club will take the hit, not them.

yes but the fact is at this moment in time and the forseeable future (ak 10 years) Man Utd are not going to fail to qualify in the Champions League...

That's what I would have thought.

Could be interesting then. Getting Man Utd back to the top by using their youth system and a few free transfers. I suppose you wouldn't have a problem getting some older stars to come to the club with its reputation. But holding on to any good youngsters could be a problem if offers start coming in.
