Dunno if it's a legal issue or what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have there been any proper Brechin-esque effots? Alloa have been the worst so far, only 3 seasons ago with 6 points from 38 games. BSC Glasgow were previous worst on 8 points and Morton on 10. At the other end, Hibs pulled an invincibles season in 2085/86 and followed it up the next season with a 107 point total which is the best so far. To drive home how good they were, they also won their first champions league: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Who did we beat? Also, are BSC Glasgow still groundsharing at The Recs? Quite the double whammy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst that can happen is you can hit administration, seen one or two examples of clubs plummeting down the divisions through poor performance as theres zero money at the club. Someone tried it a few years ago with Man U, can't remember the exact figure but your debt resets once it hits a certain level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a club sueing SI because they would sometimes be liquidated in people's Football Manager games. TBF, that is so The Rangers. Unless they're worried that FIFA/UEFA/the national league bodies are in denial about the possibility that, on their watch, clubs can cease to exist due to financial mismanagement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought SI came to agreements with the federations about using team names a decade or two back? ...f**k me. Just looked it up, They sued because SI were legally using their name, but didn't use their club badge because they'd have to pay extra to licence it. They don't have a hope in hell of winning that, surely. There's even a hilarious mention of how, by not paying Manchester United for the use of their logo, SI knew fans would make their own unlicensed badge packs and should therefore be held responsible for loss of revenue What an absolute grasping bunch of fannies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've maybe seen it, but Man U also have lawyers going around threatening folk who make the logo packs you can download. Literal kids being threatened by a multi-million pound corporation for having a hobby. Its incredible how little publicity its getting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I certainly hadn't seen that, but I suppose it shouldn't be surprising. Some immensely blinkered corporate greedthink there, as per. The Football Manager community has been, and continues to be, an excellent free promotional tool for Manchester United, the EPL, and football in general. But someone mentioned us without paying, so get the scissors out - that nose is gonna have to come off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
