Hello guys, i need to clarify how bankruptcy works:

If your account is below -$500,000 at the time of a weekly economic update, you are given two weeks to bring your account back above -$500,000.

1) When that 2 week period starts? If I am worse than -500k BEFORE or AFTER economy update?
2) I am given 2 weeks to go above -500k. That means the first economy update after i am in bankruptcy warning i can still be below -500k and the next economy update i have to be above -500k?
3) If, once in bankruptcy warning, i get above -500k on first economy update after the warning can i go back below -500k for the next one and the BANKRUPT applies or once i get above -500k the bankrupcy is avoided and canceled and the second week result doesnt matter?

Debt and bankruptcy are the first items calculated in the economic update each week.

4) If i am -400k on monday BEFORE economy update, am i ok? After the update i might be -800k after paying all the salaries and other expenses.. Is it really BEFORE BEFORE?

Thank you in advance! I am looking for an important addition to my team, but later i am going to have 3 away games in row, so i am asking, just to be clear.
Thank you

Are you a student of donald trump? He is expert in bankrupcies

Not only an expert … he is the biggest bankruptcy vulture of all time ;-)

Thank you for your genuine help!

1) Right BEFORE the time when financial update happens in your country

2) Yes and if not above -500k, all your players will be put on transfer list for 0 dollars

3) It would be avoided and started all over again next week then

4) Yes you are ok in that situation

Thank you very much!

Regarding the deadline for bankruptcy, to make sure I understand correctly.

In the hypothetical and simplified case of a club that has a negative weekly balance of 300K and weekly income of 200K from home games:

- it had a balance of -300K before financial update number 1
- in the financial update it went to -650K
- with the income from the match of the week the balance went to -450K
- in the financial update number 2, it went to -750K
- with the income from the match of the week, the balance went to -550K
- in the financial update number 3, the balance went to -900K

Does the two-week deadline for bankruptcy start counting from the financial update number 3?
So, the club would need to have a balance above -500K again before reaching the financial update number 5, correct?



(I apologize to the forum moderators. I was supposed to answer this here, but I ended up creating another topic first. I deleted the message, but the topic remained there)

Yes, it starts counting from update number 3

Yes, you need to be above -500k before update number 5

Keep in mind that interests for negative balance rises with each week (i believe 5 percent for every dollar in negative). And overextension tax is a thing too, to consider when calculating expenses
