GMO Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 For my Finances/Expenditure there is a category or line for 'Other'. What is included under 'Other' expenditures? I'm managing Sileby in United Counties Div1 and a lot of my expenditures is under 'Other'. I don't know how to reduce that cost because I don't know what that is. Thanks.

FrazT Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Without trying to be smart, the other expenditure figure is made up of any club expense that is not covered in any of the other expenditure headings. Every expense in running the club is calculated and the miscellaneous ones ( and there are a lot ) are put in here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMO Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 For some unknown reason these 'Other' expenditures are skyrocketing and because I don't know exactly what they are so I can't control them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
looknohands Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Every month that I have played so far, "other" makes up the biggest portion of my expenses...I'm losing about $1 million a month... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystere1666 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Wouldn't that fall under matchday expenses? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflection22 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm more interested in non-football costs, as mine are a staggering £38m a year with Sunderland. With match day expenses at £10m, Ground maintenance £8m and other £5m, I fail to see exactly what the £38m non-football costs are for or why they're so high.

Kenco Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Why won't SI tell us what it is please ? Because you've already had several answers in this thread. It mostly comprises of non-football staff wages, as well as anything else not covered in it's own section. They are all grouped into "Other" because the list would be ridiculously long if everything was accounted for separately, and you have no control over these items, as expected for a Football Manager.

GMO Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 But why has the 'Other' expenditure suddenly gone up so much? I think the answers on this thread don't really answer the question nor are they definitive answers, only guesses. SI could give a more definitive answer. I have the same staff on the same contracts. I've scheduled a few home friendlies so there are no 'away' expenses. A mouse over on 'Other' expenditures says it's for miscellaneous expenses such as advertising, travel, supplies etc. My team has stayed at home so they have no travel expenses. Supplies shouldn't suddenly get hugely high for no reason. The only possibility I can think of is that my team has suddenly decided to advertise all over the U.K. for my home friendlies for my level 10 team. Because the 'Other' expenses are so high it would be helpful to be able to specify exactly what they are. If the expenses were a minor expense I wouldn't care but they are a very major expenses, far larger than any other expense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Admin staff, cleaners, caterers etc. IT staff probably. Marketing people, corporate lawyers, accountants, dieticians the list goes on.Think of any large company - think about what they produce or what service they provide. Now, think about how many people are involved in the physcial production, and how many are involved to do all the other bits and peices. This is correct. ^member of SI staff ... see this thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflection22 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 That's non-football costs (non-football staff wages), not other. ^member of SI staff ... see this thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflection22 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Even so, I'm not sure how my non-football costs total £38m a year with Sunderland. My 'other' expenses are relatively small in comparision at £5m a year. oops, lol... so it is!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie543 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 the game says it can be travel advertising and supplies hope that helps i pay out around £40M in non-football costs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk54321 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 None football costs are probably about right. Man United had a document leaked this past week showing they paid £94M in expenses that were none football related over a 2 year period. To something like 300 companies it as well. What is annoying me is that my ground in 2041 is about 10 years old and yet my ground maintenance is on course to be £30M this year and matchday expenses £20M!! That £50M is all the season ticket money gone (playing as United) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
