Reserve Investment Fund

Anyone else got this where your club has deposited some £££ into a reserve investment fund? I've had it but never seen/saw it used for anything

As the club's balance is represented by a signed 32 bit integer, the highest value it can represent is 2,147,483,647. I believe that the situation you mentioned is a safeguard against going over that amount. Basically you won't see that money again as it is lost/dumped/whatever.

i read sumwhere tht it is stored elsewhere and when it is needed it is put back into the club, for example if you end up in the red with finances the club pump it back into the club

2billion is alot of money to have so I wouldn't be fussed if some of it disappeared down a black hole.

well it doesn't dissappear, it starts your balance to -2billion, which isnt good, that is why they have coded this investment fund into the game

Whether the excess is stored or not is pure speculation on my part, but with 2 billion in the bank I can't see how it matters either way. Loosing that kind of cash in this game would be a serious achievement AFAIC.

See i don't have that kind of cash, also the amount has ranged on different games from £240million, to one w/Man United it was £400m almost every year...

i think if they have built this in then it needs to go somewhere proper...a fund for a new ground, or set up an actual 'B team' abroad (a la Crystal Palace Baltimore) rather than just cheating me out of it ... just for more realism

If I remember correctly, SI have stated in the past that money put into investment funds can be retrieved at a later date when the club needs it.

How do you get that much money? (without cheating using editors etc..)

Luton Town 1991...think Brian Clough but with todays money...I largely pick up cheap young players with the odd older head for experience and sell em high cause i constantly (hope at least) think I have a replacement almost ready in reserves. The average age of my squad is rarely over 22...and the oldest is usually 27ish ... I try to sell them almost at/just after their peak. Rooney is generally the exception. I don't sign players over 25 etc

I guess I just feel like should at least get interest from the money put aside...would help offset my enormous tax bills of approx £7m-£10m a month!!!!
