SI Staff Riz Remes Posted November 19, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted November 19, 2008 Most teams in real life lose money, be it a big club or a small club, and have to rely on the owners injecting cash into the club to keep things going. And that is despite setting low budgets while trying to maintain a competitive level of wages etc. As a manager there is not a lot you can do for the finances, outside of controlling the wage costs of players and staff (plus bonuses of course). Naturally success on the pitch can help the club grow its reputation to get better sponsorship and increased income via new supporters etc. not to mention prize/tv money.

rotku Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I have managed clubs in the northern irish lower division before bertilak (and I'm managing Brentwood currently) and I always found that it was almost impossible to stop losing money so the only way to keep the books balanced was to delevop young players and sell them when they became wanted property, obviously keeping your budgets under control is also critical. Make sure you don't keep players on long term contracts and release anybody that is not getting a regular game at the end of each season as most youth players can do almost as good a job if required and are usually on less money. It's not a very exciting managerial role but it is challenging hence the reason I took the position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
