psychobudgie 55 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just bought it in the Steam midweek madness sale (it's 8 quid for the next day or so then back up to 20). Downloaded the new update and started a new game. Chose Rangers, went to the transfer market and my team is in administration. I just cannot escape it, FFS!

I just cannot escape it, FFS!I can't play FM as Rangers now, been sticking to my Bristol Rovers team. Haven't played it since the update though, probably be even worseEDIT: On the upside, at least we can't be liquidated on FM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,776 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Noticed this yesterday when I was checking the update etc. Mervan and Wylde are still there but yes we are "Bankrupt" and "(In Receivership)" with Whyte "willing to listen to offers".I suppose one way of looking at it is the fact that an Arab or a rich person in the game could buy the club? A sugar daddy perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see what sort of finance he brings to the club.In the first season before the update it was £4m in the demo and £1.5m in the full version, probably something to do with out net spend value. Then usually Whyte gave out £7-£10m for the second season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,776 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Aye mate, not giving me any immediate funds though.Never a good situation :lol Has he cleared the debt or anything? For some reason SI had us with £39m debt Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,776 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah mate he did clear the debt.We got a CVA of £19million and then he took over.The CVA thing is pretty cool I suppose.Obviously if he didn't inject funds there must be a pretty healthy balance? Good to hear things get resolved swiftly in the game.Maybe we should get a hold of SI's administrators! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about £1million in transfer funds but that's only because I sold a few players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Got a new owner and he injected 40 million straight away. 11 million on the training ground aswell. At the start we had 24 million and 9 million loans then a cva was agreed to 8 million , the new owner came in and it was cut to 40k. Happy days.

Is this Geoff Brown or whatever his name is just in it for a quick buck ?!Anyway, just seems like the best way is to focus on youth development. Ask the board for investment in junior coaching to produce the best players you can, bring in the best youth coaches and what not! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll set up a new game tonight, I'm looking to bring in young Scottish players and give guys like Ness, McCabe and Perry a chance.But if I get bought by a sugar daddy then that could all change.
