markb053 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I am into my sixth season with the mighty Boro and am haemoraging money, I mean seriously. I'm losing between 4 and 6 mil a month. Non footballing costs are eating up around 2.5 mil a month and I'm spending around 1.5 mil a month on transfers and getting about half a mil back in. The problem is the wages. I am spending, according to my expenditure screen, about 4 mil a month on player wages, 1 mil a month on bonuses and half a mil on staff wages. Fair enough, this comes to between 5.5 and 6 mil a month, I can live with that. The problem is on the summary part it says I am spending between 8.5 and 9.5 mil a month on wages and this discrepancy is where all my cash is going as I cannot account for 3-4 mil going out of the club. Has anyone else had this and if they have could they explain where this discrepancy is and what causes it, is it a bug? I am getting a bit worried as I am only in January and have lost 16 mil already and am down to 10 mil in the bank which, with the current rate of loss, will mean I will be well in the red before the end of the season.

La Furia Roja Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 i think you will find on the summery it adds the bonus payments etc as well, screenshots of the 2 screens will help us show you what figures make it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 looking at my screen, it could be the 'other' section, my wage cost on the summery screen equals player wages, staff wages, bonus and 'other' amounts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb053 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Its not the other section as that still leaves a 2 mil shortfall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYMYK Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have had this bug as well in past FM editions. It's not something that showed up in FM 11. It's just really hard to notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popider Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It's pretty blurry and my eyes hurt from trying to read it, but it looks like "non-football costs" are being added on to total wage costs. I noticed this in my Braintree save where in League 2 you're only allowed total wage costs to come to 60% of your total turnover. From those numbers, things don't seem great do they? I haven't managed a prem team for a bit, but crikey. I wonder if state-of-the-art youth/training facilities & extensive recruitment networks are significant contributions - even if they are, there's not much you can do. As a small team player, my cost-cutting measures probably won't work for you: cut loose any youth players without real potential, offer mutual terminations to players you cant shift and eh... win the champions league! I might make a point about this in the wishlist - and I know this isn't in the manager's remit but then a great deal of the finances aren't - but it'd be nice to see a breakdown in some of the 'miscellaneous' costs here. I'd love to challenge the chairman to cut some bloody costs instead of watch helplessly as "other" and "non-football costs" spiral higher and higher each year.
