gyxi Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi I currently manage Colchester in CCL1 and just got promoted to CCL. During the season I sold Yeates for 700K pounds and Gerken for 300K pounds. But I never received the money from neither transfer... and it's freaking me out here. Colchester isn't the most wealthy club, that's a fact. So I'm desperate to cure their finances and I thought I could do so by making such big sales, but the numbers haven't moved - they're still in red. And like that wasn't enough... I'm losing more money by the second. I have no outstanding loans (they've been paid off recently), my wage budget it rather healthy (the transfer money I did receive from smaller transfers, I converted into a better wage budget), I have to sponsor deals and I guess the club makes money on tickets etc. when I have a home game. But still, the money disappear like a leaking fuel tank. So obviously, it's quite a mystery to me why in the name of the good Lord I'm losing money... and where the heck the transfer money went? I almost reported this into the bug forum, because this surely looks like one... Any help and great thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Did you get it in installments, instead of a lump sum? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentBob Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 If the transfers haven't went through yet(ie it's May and the players will switch clubs in July) then you won't get the money until then. Otherwise, it may come in installments like GavinZac said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

master_g2xt Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 check the percentage of transfer fees stat, sorry cant remember what page its on, but it'll tell you what percentage of transfer fees you will get to spend, i normally have between 70 and 90%, but i guess if the team was in financial trouble then it might be 0% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4457 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Pretty sure the OP was talking about total bank balance, not transfer funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammers123 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 that part is on the "finances" tab i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyxi Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah exactly, 4457. I don't receive the money anywhere - neither in transfers nor in the bank balance in general. The transfers have gone through, so I should receive the money as the deals have ended. In both deals, I was to receive all the money at once - no clauses of any kind.

4457 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Did you happen to spend it? For example, after a transfer is confirmed during a closed window, your transfer funds get topped up (but not the balance). If you went and made an offer that was accepted, obviously it'll cancel out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyxi Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 No, I have sold players for 1,3M pounds (but obviously didn't receive this much) and only purchased players for 14K pounds (the main part of new players I got on free transfers, the only costs being their wages etc.). This was deliberate, as I knew that the Colchester finances were rotten, so had to do something to fix it... but nothing happened, despite "big" sales.

AmundS Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 when buying/selling players in installments outside transfer window... are those installments starting WHEN you've sold the player, or right away ? (I'm guessing first alternative.. but it always wise to ask:-p) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 This thread should probably be in the Bugs forum, where a tester could get you to upload your save game so they can take a look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyxi Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well, wanted to hear you guys first. Could be that I had missed something that disqualified it for being a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well, wanted to hear you guys first. Could be that I had missed something that disqualified it for being a bug. Oh, I know that. I meant the mods should move it, not that you made it in the wrong place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
