metallimuse Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'm right in saying that better facilities & junior coaching cost more money to run aren't I? Is there a way of knowing how much the maintenance of improvements will cost before you request as if I'm a lower league team I'm worried about running at a loss due to improving facilities. How do others playing lower league mitigate for this type of thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdamgood Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It's a really good question. I haven't ever come across an expected cost before agreeing to upgrade. Which as you suggest shouldn't be the case. You should be able to see every projected expenditure. I will take a look around and if I see something come back to you. In the meantime...if you wanted to go ahead and do it. Once you find out how much I normally arrange a host of friendlies to raise capital..or balance the books.

Soviet Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Oh yeah, this sounds like a very good topic for the "feature request" forum. Like adding somewhere that "upgrading this will add approx. this amount of costs per year". Edited November 18, 2019 by Soviet 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdamgood Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Agreed. I like budgeting when doing lower league saves so I treat it as 'real' as I can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Walds Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I like that as a manager you get to nudge the board about facilities, however the final decision should always be theres - as in real life. Maybe similar to the minor meetings you get about "increasing the budget for physiotherapists", once you're trusted by the board they can offer you the choice of, for example, upgrading a youth level or expanding the stadium? This would vary, depending on club vision - obviously if you are asked to develop youth, you'd go for that one, and be judged on your response.

Agree with that but my point is I don't want to be allowed to improve my infrastructure if it means I'm then going to run at a loss and be forced to sell players year in year out out of necessity.
