Bidwell93 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Similar amounts to me (i've got/had between £65m and £95m in the last 3/4 season)Just unlucky then Well at the moment with my rubbish stadium I'm losing millions, and I have to keep selling players to make up the shortfall, and then the board gets on my back about that.

Bidwell93 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nope! I'm in 2028, and i've been eligible for about 4 years now, asking about twice a year. I'm going to sell off a stack of players right after this year's prize money from Premiership/Europe and hopefully having a load in the bank will allow me to get one built. It'll be easy coasting once I get a decent stadium. EDIT: They cant expand, it's maximum. It needs to be a new stadium, which is why I'm thinking a huge bank balance will convince them to build. I hope so, anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the screens you had already, it'll be close enough, surely? Except for maybe transfers. Also this is why the auto save every week with a 3 file rolling save comes in handy.

I thought of that, I have a post from a few days ago with a google map of Kellamergh park. It's in the middle of hundreds of acres of field. EDIT: Just out of curiosity, how much do people currently spend per month if wages are disregarded? At the moment every month I have 4.5M of non footballing costs, 1.5M in tax as well as 2M in 'other' (whatever that is). I genuinely have to cut my wages to less than £0 a week to make money at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashidi Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hmm last month my non football costs were 1.1m, 1.28m for tax, last season my non football costs were 16million, they typically go up towards the end of the season, I have no idea what NFC is. My total gate is around 19m, and cos I aim to finish in the top 5 each season I keep my prize money in the 10s of million, so that helps keep costs down. My total income from last season was 107million and my total expenditure was around 138 million, this season I will be in the hole by 27million, and it makes it imperative for me to have both a good cup run, league run and a champions league run.

Bidwell93 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Right, I thought 4.5M on non footballing costs seemed high... Wonder if theres any way I can reduce them, cos at the moment it's crippling me. Also, cant believe it took me this long to work out I can save team selections and dont have to drag and drop 11 players for every midweek game and then change again for the weekend.

Rashidi Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hmm are u practising prudent financial planning? Reason I am asking is cos like a few months ago before the patch, if we had a lot of money in the bank saved up, the our "other costs" shot up, then they fixed it..and our "non football costs" went up. It was meant as a sink to prevent the utter accumulation of wealth. What I am interested in knowing is whether you are making a lot of money a season and still seeing a lot of money going out.. I can only think of tacticalmaster who has gone that far..if you are generating a lot of money and your NFC or OC is outta the roof while you practice prudent financial planning then this should be raised in the bugs forum. IT will require the uploading of an entire save game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidwell93 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have alot in the bank at the moment, but that was mainly because I was losing about 1-2M a month so I sold players to offset it, aswell as hoping a healthy balance would convince the board to build this blooming stadium. Then suddenly this season my per month losses have risen to almost 5M despite my wages reducing. I'll just battle through and hope.

I'd be really sorry to see them go, but it may be required. I was selling players for years to keep afloat. I've only had one player reach 30 in my Premier League era, as he was the best player I've ever had. Had to let him go at 33 because he wanted more than I was willing to pay. Brought him back a year later on much reduced wages as a tutor/assistant manager, but he wouldn't sign a new 'staff' deal when he retired, as he had no interest in ANY role. Now we're in such a solid financial position that I can hold on to whoever I want, which is handy as I'm trying to win everything with youth products (including World Cup), just like Dafuge.

Heavy individual role training and lots of game time. Most players are wonderkids by 18 as long as they have the potential, when trained like that. And his wages are low because that is his first professional contract. Also, being one-footed is worth 20-30 PA points alone, which is partly why his attributes look so amazing.

MarkBurns Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 FC United- Blue Square Premier - 2015/16 League Table League Positions Graph As predicted we won the league, although it took a draw on the last day to clinch the title on goal difference after letting a 9 point lead slip. Board & fans alike were overwhelmed after expecting us to just stay up. FA Trophy – Disappointed not to win this again, but totally outplayed by Mansfield in the 4th Rnd. FA Cup- Fantastic run to the 3rd round before going down to Championship side Brighton, highlight though was the demolition of League 1 Peterborough 4-1 in the 1st Rnd replay. Squad- Strengthened my strikeforce but still kept looking to the future keeping faith with most of my young guns, added a few players in January in readiness for the transition to proper League football. Transfers – Brought in a few loan players to give the squad much needed back up and actually spent some money on players 48K in total. Finances – Cup runs helped to keep going in the right direction, re-evaluation by the board in January boosted my wage & transfer budget. Key Player Profiles: Dean Overson – Still as consistent as ever although missed a few games through injury, partnership with Kieran Kennedy saw us solid at the back. Kyle De Silva- Signed for 5k from Crystal Palace, set piece king & star of the future. Chris Atkinson – Mr. Consistent will be part of this midfield for a few years yet, nominated once again for Player of the Season. Danny Gosset – Bit of a surprise as his attributes don’t look that great but makes great runs into box and links the midfield & strikers well. Player of the Season Godwin Abadaki – 16 goals & 14 assists for the ex-Rochdale striker. One to watch Jamie Ness – ex-Stoke & Rangers, picked up on a free just before end of season already good enough for League 1.

mcgoobage Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hello Dafuge / Everyone. I have decided to take over Hampton & Richmond in this challenge but I am going to try and do it with a difference. The only tactical adjustments I am going to make to the default 4-4-2 formation is the strategy before or during games and that's it. I am not going to use a "downloaded" tactic or training regimes. In addition I am going to try and get through the challenge without spending a single penny on players. I have been inspired by people on here and how they have approached the challenge and although this could take me ages to do, I am looking forward to it! So here goes!

Top Scorer Tim Madders Gets injured for a few months and still wins the top scorer award. 39 goals in 39 appearances. 21 in 23 in the league.

hashassin Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Small mid-season update After brilliant beginning to the season, my team must've thought that they will be given championship for good first impression and been playing rather bland since mid-november, my fixtures here (of course, there's been this great performance against shrewsbury, but that was a one off) Thankfully i'm still in the hunt for automatic promotion (League Table), so helpfully my team will pick themselves up... in my previous game my teams used to always do better second half of season, so fingers crossed Kettering will follow that trend. Overall, they're still doing great, it have to be said, Tonne (left wing), Appiah (striker) and Ed Palmer (centreback) have been just brilliant... team stats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Wingate & Finchley - Barclays Premier League - 2038/39 At the end of last season I decided to make a bold move and sell off the last five players that I had signed meaning my squad was now entirely produced from the youth academy. This season was bound to be tough as I had a smaller, younger and weaker squad than previous seasons. League Table League Positions Graph I was absolutely delighted with this league finish as it keeps us in the Champions League for next season. There's a big gap to the top two, but I think we will close it in the next few years as our players get older. Community Shield - we didn't deserve it at all, but it was an unexpected first trophy for the new squad. Capital One Cup - I used the squad players for this, with the usual result. FA Cup - I also rotated the squad for this, so it was a surprise to get past Chelsea. UEFA Champions League - this competition just proves how strong our first team is. We came so close to making the final but threw it away in spectacular fashion at Arsenal. Transfers - this will probably be the last bit of transfer action for a while as I sold of those last few players. Squad - the balance isn't great, but we've got the basis of a decent squad here. We'll need a few more star players to come through to give us the squad depth needed to challenge for the title. Key Player Profiles: Joseph Mulready - top scorer again in a stunning season. Ken Darlington - still very young, but he had a good first season as a first choice striker. Léopold Agbodossinji - a solid season from the midfielder. Michael Archer - he's our only decent central defender, so we struggle without him. Ian Penney - came through the youth system some time ago, but never really got a chance in the first team.

Things with England have been similar to club level. I've used the squad players for the friendlies (which hasn't gone well!) but qualification for Euro 2040 is looking a lot better.

antfm08 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hendon, the greens. An awful club, with a dire badge, terrible squad, poor reputation and a small rented stadium from Wembley FC (costing 35k a year) due to this being their old stadium. Predicted to finish 22nd. However, they have a new manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons2387 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Unfortunately, I have messed up my computer royally, deleting everything, so I have had to start over. I have started as Banbury Town. Cannot get a screenie right now, as apparently the "Users" folder doesn't exist on my computer, even though when I specifically search for my Banbury save, it shows up and is there. If I manually try to get to that folder using C:, Users, etc, it doesn't show up, however. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, PLEASE let me know.

hashassin Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 So, im past transfer window, this my mytransfer history almost all of those player are "fill the holes" like we say in my country, apart from the ones i once mentioned Transfers Players in - Sam Mantom, Luca Scapuzzi, Danny Kedwell (just to have TM in team) Loans in - Erik Tonne, Dan Burn, Lamisha Busonda, Bastien Hery and money buys. I decided to sell Schapuzzi as he didnt impress me at all, and signed a striker with views already for next season (cause i firmly believe my team is strong enough to top the division - Mark Cullen. Im paying him sick amount of money, but he already scored twice in his debut. Worth mentioning is Dafydd Spencer, who will be my 3rd striker, and goalie Angus Gunn. And even though it seems im overloading budget, i have still 5k a week left (22k wage budget total) and each month gives me a profit, in 6 months club value got from 800k to 1.8mln, not to mention it was round 150k when i started. Sorry for bit of bragging, but i find this "attachment" to the club and seeing as it grows very exciting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
