Im in year 2022, manchester united has been relegated 3 years ago after years of struggle in midtable because they sold key players one by one due to enormous debt, i dont even need to mention when they got relegated they were forced to sell even the most average player. looking at the club now is filled with poor players, even if i was to take over now and get them promoted it will be a huge struggle to fight against relegation, saddening. but they struggled since sir alex left. maybe i am seeing the future on FM? ;-/


I took my current club as far as i can, 6 years of straight title wins after building such a great squad filled with superstars.

I want a new challenge, and looking at ManU but it looks like mission impossible, i dont mind fighting against relegation and building the team from step 1 like Sam did to Bolton for example, but i am scared off by their loan debt being in 900+m!!!! i am worried how i can go against this...... any ideas??

I want to make ManU a force again ;-) but the debt worries me... do you think is mission impossible???

btw their attendance rates didnt drop at all, but obviously their revenue dropped significantly from season tickets etc. who wants to watch a championship team paying large amounts >_<

Could be good fun and a good challenge. The massive debt will add an entire new dimension to how you approach it, and the required turnaround on good players to keep the administrators away would really prove that youre as good as you think.

I use fmm to update their money situation every summer so they dfon't fall into that much debt,

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)

How could they get into 900m+ debt?

i heard they will publish a record profit of £250M this week on SSN earlier today. man utd will always appeal to the foriegn market, and i feel they will never collapse like they do in this game.

btw i'm in jan 2010 and liverpool are 17th (their highest all season). just waiting for rafa to get the boot and i'll be in from the emirates to save our arch rivals

I think you mean turnover not profit.

Rickooko - have a look at the club at start of game 1b+ debt, is because the american owners who took over bought it on loan, i dont know the exact details but is because of the new chairman.



Klimowicz - lol, theres a BIG HUGE difference between profit and turnover ;-)

Klimowicz

yeah, my bad

I hope so

Take over, it would be a good challenge. You just have to approach it VERY carefully in terms of wages. I mean keeping WELL under the wage budget probably and you may have to become a bit of a selling club so scouting good players is a must. I think it will be a good challenge :thup:
