Well that’s the boring stuff out of the way, I know you’re only interested to find out what’s gonna happen with this site? Well at this stage - Nadda! But, the 3 main elements of the update will continue to exist. The database previously known as the FMupdates/FMsweden is now in the full time ownership of FMsweden. The forum is continuing to thrive from FMweegie moving in, and finally but no means least important is my faithful update crew - They can be found these days over at Goal-Kick producing a joint update with the FMView members.

So that wraps up why this place has been dead for a wee while!!

In other news, the new update should be released at some stage tomorrow.

The main focus for this update has been overhauling Holland, Germany, USA and Australia but rest assured a lot of other bits and pieces have been sorted as well. Hope you like

Next up we have an overhaul of Sweden, Turkey and Greece amongst others planned!!

To quote the Turkish researcher on SI forums

I won’t go into the details of how the edt file that many of you are using was developed but I’ll point out a few things.

1. The two teams were losing too much money
2. Increasing ticket prices further did not help since the game ignored the ticket prices.
3. Only way to keep the teams from losing money was to increase average attendance and stadium capacity.
4. When average attendance and stadium capacity increases so the attendance had to be increased drastically.
5. During various trials for different average attendance figures club values increased/decreased with a logic that was not apparent to me. In one trial Galatasaray was valued $60M and Fenerbahce $1billion but both clubs continued to lose money.
6. The key issue was to make sure that both clubs had income that they would sustain in the long term and would not periodically change chairmen so adjusting the stadium capacities and attendances was preferable to doing the alternative of giving the clubs sugar daddies.

I hope this makes sense. It’s an unfortunate situation which we face and unfortunately there is only a limited amount of things that we could do to resolve the situation in the short term.

The downside is that both clubs will appear to be 2 of the richest clubs in the world but at least the 2 giants won’t be bankrupt.Download the Turkish .edt file to fix finance problems with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray losing too much money
