Chat About Club Finance

[gorp]

Hey, i want to ask about the financial situation of clubs in the game. 

Can they grow (e.g from poor/stable to rich)? Because i want to do a Youth to Gold save with a fairly bad club financially and make some profits with transfers. 

Do the profits actually affects anything? because i feel like it's a very important feature and since there's no graph or ANYTHING at all in the finance menu, I don't know what would happen after the transfer window if i overspend or make profits.

I'm also curious to know about the "Extra Time to Rebuild the Club" actually do, will the board be more patient and have more confidence on the manager? or does it do something else entirely?

And lastly what does stadium expansion actually do? it never even cross my mind to request a stadium expansion, so i don't know what it will do to the club. 

Thank you in advance as always.

Yes they can.

You can test this yourself. Start a new save, use the editor to boost a player to 5* CA, a long term contract + great attributes, then simulate / holiday a month. Then sell them for as much as you can.

Or even better - start a new save with a top club + a huge budget - then buy a player for +£100m from a tiny ‘poor’ club - simulate a month then see if their label changes to ‘rich’ 😉

wow okay i will definitely try to test that, thanks for the answer!

What about the transfer & wage budget? have you seen an increase when you use club that 'promoted' to rich?

If I sell a player for £1m or £100m or any amount

• then that money goes directly into my transfer budget …
• which I can then move into my wage budget

PS. If you’d like the game to do something different (like have a more detailed finance module), feel free to post your idea on the official SI forum, as the game’s developer do check it 👍
