Hunt Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 So im in my 3rd season for Liverpool now and its all going well. But when i get that message after each month telling me about my finances it seems i keep making around a £3-4m loss each month :confused: Now i know Liverpool have a lot of players on high wages and debts and stuff, but if it carries as it is it could get serious. Ive noticed myself slip down the richest clubs rankings too. Anybody else notice this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 That's normal in clubs who are in debt. As I play with Man Utd, every month I have a loss of aobut 9-12 mil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sean Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I did for most months in MLS where I coached for four seasons with a smaller side (my beloved Kansas City Wizards). In truth, the only thing that kept the operation afloat internally is that PSV took us on as a feeder and paid us $5 million each season--which is a boatload for MLS...

Edle Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 It will be the mammoth loans. Not much else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bur7455 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Most teams lose money each month but still make a profit anually due to the paymets at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojby Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I too am playing as Liverpool and when I started my game i wiped out the loan using the editor. I am the most succesful club in England after 5 seasons and I am still losing money every month. I make all my money in prize money at the end of the year and this tides me over. i am third in the rich list by the way in 2014. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to take on any club, with its players, its fanbase, its tradition etc, you should also take on any debt they may have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud S Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Losing about £5mill a month atm. £1mill is to pay off a loan and another £1mill is payment for a player. I suppose the rest is wages and apperence fees. Over the season I lose between £20mill and £40mill but then get like £80mill at the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but thats how he wants to play. Doesn't really matter. I lose money every month but then i'm Man City and they're punching way above their income in expenditure but it keeps getting topped up But on my At. Madrid save i'm quite sure i wasn't losing money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 People can do whatever they like with their game. Cheating or not. IT's up to them. As for losing money - you have to pay those wages each week. With Player Wages Staff Wages Non-Football Costs Bonuses Ground maintenance I'm paying roughly about 11m a month And my loss per month is 2 - 3m. But that's all taken into account with budgets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 My Expenditure this season is about 150m, where last year it was 210m But income this season is 176m and last season it was 241m So look at your Expenditure and Income in t he finances to get a better idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud S Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'm getting a new stadium with 18,000 more seats and the average ticket prices are £40. So i'll be getting an extra £720,000 per home match. Including cups that's like 25 home matches so that's like an extra £18mill a year. Hmmmm, was that £300mill new stadium really worth it?

A good club with 70,000 seater should be getting around 45m a season from gate receipts. Sorry I'm working in Euros - just to be clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

methman99 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 my staff wages are sky high... what with having 25 coaches and 18 scouts etc... and they are on pretty good wages... as staff wages arent built into your wage budget, so i lose a boatload there... doesnt help we took out 153m loan for new stadium due to open in 6months (thankfully)... should start raking in the money then (i hope) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 As in real life, I reckon most FMers run operating losses. The likes of Liverpool and Man U have unmanageable debts, many FMers go for broke and run up huge wage bills (do a Portsmouth). Lower league, there's tiny gates and no TV money - you can't even keep on top of the non-footballing costs. Me, I'm managing in the 10th tier where the only income is at the gate - with an average attendance of 50! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
