dagoonerfan Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm just curious to find out whether you make a profit or loss over a year? I'd imagine players who manage big clubs you spend more which and make a loss whereas lower league teams use free transfers and loans so they dont lose as much money So which do you generally have - profit or loss?

Saint_Lane Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I think you answered your own question I dont suppose anyone 'aims' for a loss - its just a consequence of ambition and spending... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManUTactician247 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I've destroyed my clubs wage budget with Tamworth, I just can't stop buying players, it's gonna be a loss for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 A loss and lower league. I'm well under wage budget and never paid for a single player. I'm losing about 200k a year. I dont know why. If it was real life every lower league club would be bankrupt after a 2 years. Except in this my chairman keeps sticking in 100k here and there and a takeover cleared 300k of debts. I had the exact same problem in fm2010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Profit, I generally manage Chelsea and after a season or two my income from Transfers and competition wins always outweighs my expenditure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
starburst91 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I can usually make big profits for big clubs, but at lower league I usually go for losses and hope the success puts the money back in the bank, I never smash the wage budgets though usually just go a bit over and until im in the championship usually barely spend any money on transfers just go for free's from above which is higher wages.

swisso Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 At the end of the season, i generally make a profit when the big revenues come in; Prize Money and Champions League TV Money, but most teams will make a monthly loss in FM, as per real life really. I do try and spend within my means now though, i'm managing Mainz in the German Bundesliga and our wage bill is £297,000 per week, which is good going considering we're challenging for the top 6 places.

Geronimo360 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Monthly I tend to lose a lot as im currently Man U and spend around 8 million a month repaying loans Hopefully I'll be able to scrape a profit come the end of the season via prize money etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Ellis Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Tottenham atm i only buy youth players and sell for a profit or play them when they get good. From running the club sustainably like this i have built up £149 mil balance, also helped from winning prem 5 times in a row and 3 champions leagues.

Martyr1777 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Every time I start a new save with Colorado the first season always burns through the 5 million they start with in the bank. No matter how little/much I buy/sell players, the money is always gone. After that I never make money, just break even no matter what I do. Now when I say break even I don't mean after I upgrade facilities or anything... i can't spend much on buying players, never have enough to upgrade facilities, i can't do anything financially because it's impossible to make money. SI's financial model is just poor... it might work for bigger teams with more sponsor income or larger stadiums for more ticket sales, but certainly doesn't work for all teams.

Mojby Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I usually make monthly losses but I get a lot of sponsorhip, tv money and prize money at the end/beginning of the season and always make an overall profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratboy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'll usually lose money in the first couple of seasons and then start to turn a profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlo116 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It depends, i usually have a liverpool save where i'll lose money at first as i try to buy a lot of players but then once i have a strong first team i only buy young players and then i'll start to make a profit. Otherwise i usually play as a small club where making a profit is pretty important to grow in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
