Call me a sadist if you like but the new "Club in adminstration" thing is a dream come true. Players being sold for peanuts, all transfer negotiation taken out of your hands. Its like trying to do the job with both hands tied behind your back!! Joy. As i believe someone has already mentioned Dynamo Dresden are superb LLm canditates stuck in the German regional divisions and £3 million in debt, the adminstrators jump right in and take charge! roll on friday and let the fun begin

Now that is what the game needed. It will stop people taking clubs in debt just to get more funds than from selling the players.

I dont think its sadistic. Its about time something like this was implemented, as what happens IRL. Woohoo! Gonna love that one.

My experience of seeing it in CM3 was clubs who run huge debts just got a suger daddy board bail them out with then a message like 3m hs been made available for transfers.

Hugely unrealistic, CM4 will be different. Infact many clubs are likely to be losing funds from the off. Clubs in administration will have player exodus thrust on the manager.

The one thing I am not sure if its implemented is the rules of administration.

A club who is in administration tends to apply for Credit Voluntary Agreement. Even if the club starts turning finances around there is a transfer embargo imposed until administration is lifted.

I've seen it loads in CM3, where "the recievers" or something has been called in, and I can't refuse offers for players.

Granted I did see this a few times myself. However you always had unrealistic bail out. I was at a club in the conference who was debt ridden when I took over.

Despite the hardship of losing players next thing was a new board gave me 1m to buy players. A lot of money in conference I could buy class players when it comes to conference level.

I have had a reply from Marc Vaughan, Administration regulations are implemented. He says it depends on the severity of the finances whether the club goes into CVA and has embargo impossed.

Cool where are the CVA, embargo'ees for an ultimate sadistic LLM game

I played 3 season like that with Derby, which is what happens if you try to soldier on and reduce your debt manually. If you just run up a massive debt, you'll get an unrealistic takeover.

Quickie Q!
Will clubs start in adminstration? i.e. Ipswich Town<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

From the demo's i doubt ipswich will, also Ipswich are only temporary administration compared to teams like Leicester and Derby i think who were in full state of administration.

But there are teams like Hereford that seem to go into administration early in the game so there might be a couple that are.

Anyway if you can get your club stable enough it will be nice to take a few players off other ll clubs in that situation.
