Losing £500k per year isn't actually a big deal for a Conference club @dannyfc
I'm a Barnet fan and our Chairman, (and his other business' at The Hive), subsidises the football club to the tune of £1M per season.
3 years ago the minimum prize money for a League 2 club was £472,000 per season and there is also a payment, (with funds from Premier League clubs), amounting to £430,000 per season. (Again, this was 3 years ago so these figures are likely to have risen).
So that's a difference in income straight away of about £900,000 when you get relegated, (and the parachute payments stop).
From my point of view, a National League/Conference side losing £500k per season is on the conservative side, (but just my opinion as a fan of a National League/Conference side).
Thanks for the context, out of interest what's their annual revenue?
Maybe what's missing from FM is the intervention from the Chairman in that case to keep clubs solvent.
Bromley started with a £200k balance at the beginning of the game so presumably they're also being propped up by a backer.
My concern is at that level of sustained losses, without the external backing to plug the accumulative losses by a few seasons in the transfer activity will grind to a halt.

National league and below players wage demands were slightly inflated generally and is something we are reviewing to get the balance right.
Thanks,
DanOK great thanks.
They don't seem too extreme in my save so far, but did notice an increase from previous years.
By and large, most players I've encountered seem to want another 20% to their current wage so nothing too extreme yet. On the surface that feels quite reasonable, but since it's everyone it does quickly make the squad budget unsustainable. Particularly with older players (32+), who should at best expect parity if not a reduction to secure another year of salary.Glad it's being reviewed, hopefully rebalanced by release.

That's a separate issue and one we are aware of.
Thanks,
DanHi Dan - for clarity what is specifically impacted by the issue? Is it believed that requested wages are inflated across the board for non-league players, or just specific one-off incidents?
I have a save underway in the national league so just want to sense check before progressing further.

This is the exact response many people were looking for if things don't work out. SI has suffered in the past few years because of a lack of communication , you guys had a habit of completely stone walling people who bought your games and completely ignoring or not communicating with them on aspects of your match engine.
I am happy to see that communication has improved, that was one area that this forum was terrible at for many years. In fact I stopped going to the general discussion because of people blatantly telling others there are no bugs in the match engine and it was all perfect.
But once you acknowledged the issue and have a plan to fix it, most people will be more willingly to accept it rather than letting them become frustrated and leave as customers.
Agree - perfect response.
This is gamebreaking for me so I won't be playing FM 22 sadly, but feel much more satisfied in the understanding it's a known issue that SI are trying to resolve so fingers crossed for FM 23.

Lower League finances. Is there a problem?

Appreciate the detail on this - alleviates my concerns about progressing with my game.
Have no issue dealing with financial constraints as tbh will actually make the save more interesting, just wanted to be sure it's working as intended rather than just a miscalculation. It does feel more pronounced than the last time I played in FM 21, where I would usually incur a loss at that level but at a much slower rate.
Also - I've actually been to the The Hive to watch the EUROs final on a big screen. Tickets were £40 or something daft so have somewhat contributed to your 2022 wage budget
