clonerohin1 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I asked the board to upgrade my Training Facilities from Adequate in September 2010 at the Grasshopper Club Zurich which was then worth £11.75 Mil. The planning for the facilities was supposed to finish in May 2011, but come may I get a message from them saying 'Expansion of Training Facilities cancelled due to Lack of Funds'!!! At this point my club was worth £12 Mil. I had not exceeded my Wage Budget or the Transfer Budget, and my Transfer spending was exactly equal to the Transfer revenue. Basically I broke even. Month after that I won the league and earned some more money, taking the worth to £13.5 Mil. Problem is, even now in my second season, when I've sold a few players and my club's valued at £18.25 Mil, I'm not getting an option to upgrade training or youth facilities. The planning phase which was completed last year is still sitting ready for my to build on, but the option is greyed out. I have all 4-star coaches, but adequate training facilities are stunting the growth of my players... Does anybody have the same problem? What do I do next??! I definitely don't have a money problem - look at my transfer & wage budgets... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_chelsea Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The £18.25m balance you got, doesn't maintenance costs, medical costs, tax etc all come out of that too? Besides wages? I could be wrong but just a guess, if I am wrong then what you experienced is unusual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Your club is worth £18m, but that is the value of the playing squad, the stadium, the training facilities, the clubs cash reserves and the clubs name. Not how much you have in the bank, its a suggested guide as to how much someone would have to pay to buy your club. If you go to the finances tab you will see what your actual balance is probably around a million or two if that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelle Slaets Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The club being worth 18 million includes player values etc. You have to look at the bank balance. Also, upgrading the training facilities can cost over 12 million easily, so I can see the board canceling it because it would take up pretty much the entire bank balance.

WAQ Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Dude, look at the finances screen - i'd bet you are in negative balance - that's usually when projects get cancelled If i were guessing, you probably bought players for up front fees and sold others for fees payable over a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonerohin1 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Here's my finance screen, check out the balance at the bottom: NOTE: I just discovered, I'm actualy upgrading from 'Good' training facilities :o So, I guess £6 Mil is not enough to upgrade to excellent... Sorry for the misunderstanding guys, and thanks for all the replies. BTW, Anyone know how much it could cost to upgrade from Good to the next level??

pancake111 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I don't think you can complain until you're list of cancelled youth academies/youth facilities and training facilities requires a scroll-bar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Spiral Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 My Chairman keeps spending money on getting more seats into teh stadium, which means he's constantly cancelling my youth and training improvements. Damn you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonerohin1 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Huh?! Can a chairman do that without consulting the manager?! I must be lucky, coz my board has never interfered directly with anything except for the upgrade in the one season I've played... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is your boss so off course he can that he can also make feeder and parrents clubs over your head etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhhonlyfan Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 i had this but next season they were completed. its down to chariman ambition, having good finances and general luck. i was bristol city couldnt afford even with promotion an upgrade but managed to avoid relegation and they were completed. General rule of thumb for me at my club is my chairman needs 150% of value before its considered. so basically is upgrade costs £10million he wont let me upgrade unless i have £15million in the bank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was in charge of Wigan and the board decided to expand my stadium and develop my training facilities without me requesting/enquiring about either of them.

jakobx Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 happened to me as well. They canceled three upgrades days from competition. I ask them again and it starts from the beginning. :/ Its probably because i asked them for a new stadium. No idea whats going on there, its in some planning stage that should have ended months ago according to the screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Funk Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You have to look at the bank balance.Also, upgrading the training facilities can cost over 12 million easily, so I can see the board canceling it because it would take up pretty much the entire bank balance. But they don't tell you how much money are needed for the upgrade. This is frustrating. I had 3 milions and upgrades were canceled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
private pyle Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I had the same thing - it would be an idea if we knew how much the upgrades cost so then I would know whether it would be worthwhile even asking for the upgrade in the first place.
