The Oil Money Collapse
What if the money disappeared overnight?
This database removes the financial safety net from three of football's biggest state-backed clubs:
- Newcastle United
- Manchester City
- Paris Saint-Germain
Each club has been completely reworked to create a realistic financial collapse. Rich benefactors have gone, sponsorships have been slashed, debts have been added, recruitment departments have been cut back, finances have been crippled and supporter expectations have been adjusted to create a genuine rebuilding challenge.
What to expect
- Huge debts to repay.
- No wealthy owners to bail you out.
- Minimal transfer budgets.
- Negative or extremely limited wage budgets.
- Reduced commercial income.
- Smaller scouting networks and coaching staff.
- Supporters who still expect success despite the financial crisis.
Your challenge
Can you save one of these clubs without the backing that made them footballing superpowers?
You'll need to:
- Sell star players to balance the books.
- Cut wages wherever possible.
- Rely on youth development and smart recruitment.
- Avoid administration and points deductions.
- Rebuild the club into a sustainable powerhouse.
This is not a transfer update. It's a completely different way to experience Football Manager, where every financial decision matters.
If you enjoy the database, please leave a rating and let me know how your save goes. I'd love to hear which club you chose and whether you managed to survive the collapse.
