only really helpful if you've been Newcastle in the first season

Hi Guys,

I decided to go newcastle united, because i struggle with cardiff and cannot win.....i am now in december, and my bank balance is (in the red) -£5,000,000 around that figure anyway, and its getting worse,,,,, i have agreed to sell nicky butt, colochini, best, pancrate, off and will make only about £3m.....but i was just wondering, do the funds get better, and will promotion give my club more cash......( i know it will...) but i need funds to strengthen without havin to sell off key players

Yes it will improve...I've played as Newcastle twice and both times there was a board takeover by a "sugar daddy"...In my first save it happened mid to late 1st season in my second (and current) save it happened in the beginning of the 4th season I believe. Both times the "sugar daddy" dropped BIG bucks into the team....the 1st save it was $300-$325 million (U.S.) and the second time is was over $400 million (U.S.).

You will lose money steadily through out the season, although your bank balance does seem to be very low already.

I loaned Jonas out for 1.2 million with an option to buy him as I didn't plan on using wide players. I have brought in about 12.5million in players, the majority of this money on two 5 million purchases which are spread over 48 months.

That has left me on 9th November 09 with a bank balance of 1.1million.

This is my second save with Newcastle, I got 10 years in with the other save and never had a tycoon take over, but rapidly became one of the richest clubs in the world.

SO my advice would be not to sell your best players unless you get a cracking offer for some one who can be replaced with a younger, but equally able player.

I always end up in the red first season or two as newcastle, as long as its not mental (15mil plus) then you should be ok come the end of the season

even better if you get a good takeover
