The Lambs Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Probably of no interest to anyone, but after many versions of FM and years of asking the board and being told the council would never agree it, the Newcastle board have announced plans to build a new 77060 seater stadium. Named after me, their greatest manager. A snip at £289 million! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipo lotti Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 cool! Were you getting full capacity every game before? Selling all season tickets? I really want to get a new stadium but I don't know how. Is it based on average attendance compared to max attendance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lambs Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I had been selling every seat and every season ticket for 6 years and had expanded the stadium as far as I could. I fluked the Quadruple this season and I guess the influx of prize money was the key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olegend Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I am managing the Newcastle and encountered the same problem that the council would never approve the expansion. May I know which year the board announced the plan? I can't wait to get a new stadium. Congrats on the stadium! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper99 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 One of the two things I've wanted for years in FM is a stadium named after me and a son. I've so far had neither, despite having a few new stadiums built they've always been named after former players So congrats to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I know which year the board announced the plan? I can't wait to get a new stadium. Congrats on the stadium! End of the 2016/17 season. The stadium had been max capacity since the second season. I had won the premiership 4 times in a row. I 'think' it is purely a finance thing. I did not ask for the new stadium, it just popped up in my message box in the closed season, shortly after we recieved all the prize money. Even then we now have a hefty loan hanging around our head. Kind of annoying as I have £190 million left in my transfer kitty after selling lots of class players this season, they could of ha that if they wanted.

Kind of annoying as I have £190 million left in my transfer kitty after selling lots of class players this season, they could of ha that if they wanted. I think it is a combination of things, including finances, attendances and the time since the last stadium was built. Did they take out a loan yet leave money in your balance? Seems a bit of a weird thing to do, mine cleared by balance and took out an £81m loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lambs Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Weirdly they did take a loan, I still have a transfer balance of £185million showing and a Balance of £49 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The transfer balance will just be based on the previous balance, so don't think that you can actually get away with spending that. How big was the loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damienroden Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Jesus Chhrist don't spend all your transfer budget It will be the last time you see the Premier League for a while if you do once you plunge into the red. Did they expand St James park first? I thought that was the plan eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lambs Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Boo, I thought I had saved the message and typically my rolling saves are ever before the announcement or after the 75 saved messages. You are also correct about the balance, the previous month showed a loss of 111million, so I guess they cleared everything out. Loan was £76 Million, which is £525K per month as I have a repayment reminder message. What actually happens to unspent transfer funds? I assume they get put back into the 'pot' at the end of season and then the next years transfer funds are worked out from this total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the amount of money that the board will let you spend from the main balance, it is not a different pot of money. With your situation the board would have quite happily let you plunge the club £136m in debt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO, let me get this correct: At the start of season, they set my budget at £110 million, BUT I have sold players to generate an extra £75 Million. This extra money was added to my transfer kitty but the money actually went into my bank balance and the board have spent it on a stadium? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This extra money was added to my transfer kitty but the money actually went into my bank balance and the board have spent it on a stadium? Pretty much, yes. The £75m would have been added to the balance and the transfer budget (assuming they are giving you 100% of transfer funds). What they should have done was to give you a new transfer budget, but this won't happen until the start of the new season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lambs Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Cheers mate. I am getting close. I won the premiership 3 times in a row, the 4th one is in progress. I got £150M left in my bank account. I will sell more players and see if I can get my wish! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. The graph is very hard to see, but my Finances are £100 million in June 2016 they leap up to touch the £200 million mark in July 2016, they then slowly decrease to £130 million by April 2017, then plummet to almost 0 in May 2017 when the stadium was announced. So I think having a healthy balance all season is important, the leap of £100 million over July seems to be when I sold Zapata for £21 Million and Neymar for £48 Million and various other players giving me a total of £95 million over the whole month of July. This also means Dafuge is correct, that you should always keep an eye on your bank balance when spending transfer kitty, as they may of given you money to spend that they no longer have. All the years I have played this game I never realised that. Part of me is tempted to spend the budget to plunge me into debt as a challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
