Default Transfer money

In your opinion, what determines how much transfer money you get at the beginning of each season? Is it all dependent on your overall wages compared to your budget? Do you always get nothing if you're close to your budget? I am starting to think that it is really important to keep a tight reign on wages and try to get rid of that guy always on your bench earning 60 grand a week. Not an easy task in this game though with the selling of players being so badly designed. Anyway, any tips anyone could give me on increasing transfer money would be great. I just gave up on my Newcastle game because every single season I never got any money to spend even though I was winning the league every year.

I know this sounds like cheating, but when i have no budget, I go to preferences and disable sugar daddy then enable it again. I had to do it cause I am Cambridge United and need a budget in order to gain promotion.

When deciding on the transfer budget for the coming season the board look at various aspects ... how successful the clubs been, has the club been running within its budget, did the club spend the transfer money allocated last year etc. ...

In general if you run a 'tight ship' and stay under wage budget then obviously they'll be more likely to give you a higher transfer budget moving forward, if you've blown the wage budget out of the water then chances are they'll restrict the transfer budget a little more.

With regards selling players have you transfer listed them and offered them to clubs?

If so and you've getting no bites is it possible that they're not worth the £60,000 a week you're paying them and other clubs aren't willing to match that wage (do bear in mind that if they have considerable time left on their contracts players don't normally look upon pay cuts all that favourably).

I realise it might be frustrating that the AI teams aren't stupid and won't blow wages on your excess player ... but it probably isn't a bug in this case.

Awesome, thank you. So when you say "did the club spend the transfer money allocated last year" what do you mean exactly? It helps you if you spent it or it hinders you? Like if you don't spend it all, the club will be moe likely to give you more or…?

And BTW Marc. This has been said a few times but the fact that you take time to come on here and help us is extremely impressive and speaks volumes of you and your organization. We REALLY appreciate it!

Yes I'm certainly transfer listing them and offering them to other clubs. And I notice you get a lot more responses if you offer them for free or for some silly low figure like 50,000 or something and then negotiate way up somewhere nearer their real value. Not sure why this was implimented as it's very unrealistic but anyway…I realise some players aren't going to be in demand much but it's not just limited to overpayed players on long contracts or I wouldn't even bring it up. Good players on decent (not super-high) wages, who would be in big demand IRL, are still a nightmare to get rid of on this game and it's unusual to get a fair price for them even if you're patient.

If you'd be kind enough to give me a few example player names and a 'rough' season you list them in - I'll test things here and tweak as required for this years version to ensure its as realistic as possible.

Its kinda complicated (isn't it always ).

There are a few relationships to take into account - but generally if you achieve things without spending money then the board might consider not backing you quite as agressively in the future (this is especially the case if you've built a huge budget through sales and not needed it to win competitions) ... however that being said if you're a good steward (ie. under wage budget) they'll often allow your budget to build a little between years if you had a surplus.

Feel free to email them to me at marc.vaughan@sigames.com - probably quicker if you take that route, that way if I have any other questions we don't have to bore the rest of the forum users ..
