sammymac Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Something that has bugged me for a while now is the deception from clubs who approach you. I was in my second season with Leeds having been promoted from League 1 and i was sitting nicely in 4th around christmas time. then i saw City had sacked Hughes and i was favourite. days later they aproached me and offered me a transfer budget of £125 million which i accepted. i then saw that the clubs balance was £54 million and after a few months i realised that i was losing over £5 million a month. my suggestion to this problem is being allowed to look at the clubs finances before agreeing to sighn for them.

Almondo Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 With city I wouldn't be too worried as the owner puts in more funds when the balance drops below a certain limit. But yeah 'd like the opportunity to look at club finance before taking over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark123 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Im sure other managers IRL dont know the clubs finances of other teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I disagree you should not be able to look at other clubs finances. They can exaggerate their finances to you to attract you like you can exaggerate a players role in a team when trying to sign them for example.

Clark123 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 im sorry but i totally disagree if i dont think any club promises loads of money to spend which they havent got I ment it in a different way. For example, Alex Ferguson wouldnt know Chelsea's finances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammymac Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 And you can already check that out for yourself yes but is too vague e.g. it said city were rich, they offered me £125 million budget but only had £54 million balance. even though this is rich it is not what i was told Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 yes but is too vague e.g. it said city were rich, they offered me £125 million budget but only had £54 million balance. even though this is rich it is not what i was told When the filthy rich keeps topping up the bank balance I'd say that's rich of course you wouldn't always know this (though if it was a tycoon takeover that happened after the game started you could find out about it as well)...

Campbells Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 yes but is too vague e.g. it said city were rich, they offered me £125 million budget but only had £54 million balance. even though this is rich it is not what i was told did they give you 125 million to spend, even tho you had 54 mill in the bank, cos if they did then they didnt lie to you, they are expecting you to spend that money and recoup it in competition wins, my board regulary offer me more funds than i have in the bank as they know i will get a return for their investment (usually) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
