gooner83 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 When selling a player is it best to have full asking price in full or have in monthly payments to help balance the books each month? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisso Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 It really comes down to which approach you support. 1 being that football clubs will generally make losses every month, until the summer when key income is received to send you back into the black. Get all your transfer business done in the summer and then take the monthly losses throughout the year until next summer. 2 being whether you want to potentially make a profit every month by selling players over X months, but see no big transfer income in the summer and rely on Prize Money, TV Income and Season Tickets to generate some big transfer funds. Selling him for £10m over X months won't give you £10m to spend instantly. It'll drip through on a monthly basis and you'll notice the Transfer Budget increasing slightly. I'm a follower of the 2nd approach, signing and selling players over 48month deals and trying to build a balance up via income gained in the summer.

gooner83 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Yeah i have started that over the last 2-3 seasons as my transfer balance has been reducing due to big losses each month needing to be covered and have seen my transfer budget going up each year. Was just wondering what approach ppl take Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
