FM09 : Transfer Budgets - by league

I know there is already a “Transfer Kitty” thread where you can request a transfer budget for a specific club, so I thought I would go a step further and make a list of the transfer budgets for each league starting with those listed below. If you would like any leagues added let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

These budgets are in British Pounds Sterling, and as far as I can tell the exchange rate on Football Manager 2009 seems to be 1.25euros to the £. The budgets are based on the board’s expectations for that particular club:

I have now added the English Championship.

The French and German top divisions will follow later on.

The Following leagues have now been added:

French Ligue 1- Apart from Lyon the budgets are fairly similar, so plenty to choose from.

German Bundesliga - Most of the budgets are Nil, so some big challenges to be had.

The next leagues to be posted will be the Scottish and Dutch (hopefully tomorrow).

If you want to see any more let me know.

Can you have a look at the Turkish League? Try "serious title challenge" for Besiktas, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

Many thanks...

Can't believe how little money there is in Germany?!

Can't believe that most clubs haven't got anything to spend. With the majority of them it stays as Nil even if you increase the expectation level.

Not a good league to manage in unless your Bayern (or you like a challenge)

Can you please put the budgets for League 1, League 2, Blue Square Premier, Blue Square North and Blue Square South on here?
