Mad_mike70 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, i've just completed my 4th season and got Dagenham and Redbridge to the Premier league. Upon the loading of the new season i'm told, the board expects me to avoid relegation... Not even battle bravely against relegation... and they have given me a whopping 350K to achieve this goal. I mean COME ON... what is that all about, this has to be a bug. How am i supposed to buy premier league players with that? So i got promoted in straight seasons but i'm not a miracle worker. Does anyone else think there might be a little problem with season start transfer revenue? Has anyone else had this kind of problem when getting lower league teams up to the prem. I know NTFC did it, how much did you get when you got promoted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolydanny Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Of cause you would have 350k with Dagehnam if you got promoted every sesaon because no club in the world or chairman would expect that to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_oc16 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 lots of people have similar problems and only way to get more cash seems to be selling players (if you can) or enabling sugar daddy (if you have 'unlocked' it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_mike70 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 yeah but in the PC version you get TV revenue, and payouts for finishing in positions in the league and for getting promoted, as well as winning later cup matches. It seems there is none of this in FMH it leaves lower league clubs with huge disadvantages... especially since the stadium doesn't seem to get upgraded...

With regards to your budget if the chairman is (possibly rightfully?) expecting the team to go straight back down then he will bank as much of the income as possible to use for the clubs long term benefit rather than spend a fortune now. Clubs who have been promoted irl have done this before - indeed Wigan and West Hams spending this season has been fairly low (and bar one signing each their spending would have been well within the budget you've been given) and neither of these are traditionally quite as small as the club you're managing.

ntfc Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Well tbh i think this is a simliar scenario ot Sunderlands.They did not improve their squas as a result they were relegated,whereas Wigan and West ham have perofmred in the premierleague becuase their chairmen has given them money to spend.

Mad_mike70 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Cheers for the official word on that Marc, much appreciated, i think i can see where you're coming from, so basically, i should wait until i stay up and do fairly well before expecting any kind of real payout?

nj3591 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Had the same scenario with Leicester When I got promoted. I am now dissapointed if I don't get £20M a season to spend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hucknall_Elv Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Erm... are you sure Marc?? I got Notts Co into the Championship, and the chairman pretty much expected me to go down - gave me about £100,000. I scraped survival, and my reward for the following season was £29,000... great, Mr Chairman. Ta very much. I then lost in the play-offs - SURELY he's convinced that I can keep them in the C'ship now??! ..Apparently not. He gives me £25,000. Lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 26, 2006 SI Staff Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hucknall_Elv - bear in mind that the Championship is no where near as lucrative as the Premiership. For a real life example Brighton survived in the Championship last season but did so on a shoestring budget (our largest signing being funded by a windfall from Coca Cola) and this season have finally succumbed after a season where I think our most expensive signing was a loan deal (so yeah I am sure - its just that the funding in real-life (and in the game) is notoriously top heavy, unless you have a huge fanbase of rabid supporters don't expect a large amount of dosh in the Championship) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall_Elv Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ah okay, fair enough. Thanks for clearing that up, Marc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAzzle009 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I understand some of your answers Marc but what about the other end of the scale? I started as West Ham and was given £2.4m (iirc) to avoid relegation in the first season. I spent about 2m and finished 6th, qualifying for Europe. I then released 10 players and signed 3 bosmans to cut the squad down. Only to find out that I will receive just £1.2m for the following season, not many European standard players I can get with that. Any Ideas?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
