Question Re Finances...

[Cowboy71]

Hello guys,

I'm hoping the more experienced players can clear something up for me....

I play as Liverpool, and up until this save I've never paid much attention to finances. So, I'm currently in my first season using the latest database, 22.4. In July, the board intervened on my behalf and purchased Theo Hernandez, a really good left-back i was after for £61,000,000.

Now, in November, after only several months of competitive play, my current bank balance is almost £8,000,000 in debt. I don't understand it!

I did notice that when using the original FM22 database Liverpool's starting balance is around double that of the 22.4 - £240,000,000 compared to £120,000,000.

Anyone care to clear this up for me?

Kind regards.

Don't worry about it too much, you'll get your premier league money soon and you'll be quids in again. 

The Liverpool board will be good at business and will have decent finances behind them, it will work out just fine.

Thank you for the reply. So you don't think there's a bug?

You get a payout of somewhere around 80-100 million pounds at the end of the season, I think, so you should be good.

It's pretty normal for big clubs to be running at a loss for most of the year, then make up for it in June/July. That's when the big prize/TV money payments come in.

Cheers, Rusty. As I mentioned, I don't mormally look too deeply at the finances - maybe i should.
