Mr_Poopy_Pants Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Where do the funds for signing on fees come from? Is it transfer budget? If not, where the devil is it appearing from? I'm used to being very poor but I've just accepted a job in League 1 and I'm not used to such very pressing matters. Plus I've had a few too many beers and I'm not clear headed and should know better than to play FM in such a state. I'm only doing so becuase The Chairman (Mrs) referred to me as a loser because of FM (let us not get into a thread such as http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=185707 ) and I've had it in my mind since i got the text!

Edle Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Why do you call your partner "the chairman"? In answer to your question, I believe it is from the transfer funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Taylor Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Um... now you've told us your life story, you might want to go sleep it off... Just kidding, mate. I think it comes out of your transfer budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzrab Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I thought it came out of the bank balance? otherwise how could you sign players on a free transfer with a signing on fee with no transfer budget? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she may aswell own my sorry arse Um... now you've told us your life story, you might want to go sleep it off...... Just kidding, mate. I think it comes out of your transfer budget. Sorry, ramble over! (drunken grin "I love you man!") I thought it came out of the bank balance? otherwise how could you sign players on a free transfer with a signing on fee with no transfer budget? Never had the need before! Does that mean the board can block such things? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzrab Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Never had the need before! Does that mean the board can block such things? I am not sure. I just seem to remember that i have signed unattached players and offered them a signing on fee and have had no transfer budget but still managed to sign them.

Vic Taylor Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sorry, ramble over! (drunken grin "I love you man!") Yeeeaaaahhhhh... Never had the need before! Does that mean the board can block such things? If you have no transfer/wage budget then yeah, the board will step in and stop you buying anymore players.

Bojan11 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 IT DOES NOT come out of transfer budget it simply comes out of your bank balance and if your a **** and offer them loadsa money on signing on fee then you will go into admin before long. however this could change in league one and they may lower your budgets if its a big SIGN on fee.

Blacksquare Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I believe only players that you pay transfer fees for have signing on fees come out of your transfer budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Why do you call your partner "the chairman"? Hey, that's the thread where I post that I made my missus my chairman! I think I also said that she froze my transfer funds until we bought a new washing machine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox2k Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Why do you call your partner "the chairman"?In answer to your question, I believe it is from the transfer funds. Perhaps because of high interference and low patience? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflection22 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Yea, signing-on fees don't come out of your transfer budget at all, although thinking about it they probably should do. All that's affected is your bank balance. Maybe it's different at lower league level though, I don't know for sure as I've never managed below the Championship.

Playing in the BSP with a zero transfer budget didn't stop me paying signing on fees to free agents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Perhaps because of high interference and low patience? Sonds like it As far as I know it doesn't come from any of those budgets. For that reason I sometimes use this as an exploit. If my wage structure is nearing the ceiling then I replace some of the salary by a signing fee when signing new players and it works. The players are happy to sign and my budgets are kept. Just the balance suffers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflection22 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've always thought things like that were a bit silly, how I can have a £1million budget left for example, then throw someone a £5million+ signing-on fee. It would make sense if it had some relation to your transfer budget. Playing in the BSP with a zero transfer budget didn't stop me paying signing on fees to free agents.
