Many people here wouldn't care about this but the new patch completely ruined thousands of players' FM pleasure.
In the latest version (8.0.2), the best two sides in Turkish League, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are doomed with bankruptcy within one or two seasons into the game due to a coding error - which means it can't be fixed with the editor. The ticket prices of those two clubs are very low and they keep losing money drastically. Interestingly, Fenerbahce has the second highest average ticket price in Europe after Arsenal (yes, this is true - I am not lying, source: Deloitte) but still SI made this huge mistake.
To make matters worse, I have just read in Turkish FM forums that the testing team found this error while testing the Beta version two days ago but SI refused to fix it as they wanted to release the patch on the 14th of February.
I have been playing CM and FM since god knows when, always with my beloved Fenerbahce. There is no way I will keep playing now. And the same situation is also valid for many other Fenerbahce and Galatasaray fans.
Thanks SI(!) for this ridiculous error and not fixing it despite knowing!
No it ruins the realism of the turkish leagues. In a few yers the 2 top teams become poos and this effects pretty much everythinh, like transfers, teams can´t keep players, finances ruined...
That is poor form on SI's part but unfortunately that's the way of the commercial world. If sales of FM in Turkey don't contribute significantly to their profits then thsi won't be seen as a pressing issue if the desire release date is necessary to satisfy their business needs.
There is a workaround I could suggest but it is a highly unrealistic one. But if helps you play as your favourite team then f realism.
Run a test game to figure out the ticket pricing then adjust your team's maximum/minimum/average attendance to compensate for this loss in revenue. This way you can approximately get the revenues you feel represent those of your team.

I would love to know where you get your stats from.
Also, to the original point. Yes, its an error. There are bound to be a few overlooked. I'm pretty sure that, with the other two "major" problems, SI will re-release the patch with the major coding errors fixed.
And also, why cant you change ticket prices in the editor. (I've not used the Editor since FM07, and you could there.)

Our HR found a woraround, but it´s also quite unrealistic. It is to make the stadium capacity of the teams 100.000 and 200.000 and increase the average attendance.
unforgiveable mistake in the new patch!
