Rondonia State Champ - 3rd (7th & 8th relegated)
Third Division Group 7 - 6th (7th & 8th relegated)
Bleeding money (paid $450k in taxes on $400k of income).
2007
Rondonia State Champ - 3rd
Third Division Group 7 - 6th
No money, lower taxes (~$150k).
2008
Rondonia State Champ - 4th (bugger)
Third Division Group 8 - 5th
Sold a player for $80k, bought 4-5 players in with what the board allowed of the transfer money. Have not been over wage budget the entire time, but club is losing ~$50k a month. Board of directors are pumping money into the club. This is the perfect situation, I buy a player, give him a huge salary and the board just increases my wage budget (seemingly) to cover for it.
On my last - mercifully brief - sojourn in the Brazilian 3rd Div, I worked out that my club would still have been losing a fair amount of money even if I didn't have any playing staff. They weren't in debt to start with, didn't have a big stadium, but tax - I guess - and that fact that they must have been giving away match tickets with packs of cereal meant financial doom.
Rondonian State Champ - 1st! (includes entry into next year's Brazil Cup)
Third Division Group 7 - 4th (was 2nd until 2nd last game...)
The BoD sold my star player/captain for three magic beans, which turned out not to win our 3rd Div group. Those beans and the sale of a winger gave me the transfer funds to bring in a couple decent replacements. Still bleeding money, but not my concern (although the BoD think it is for some reason). Signed a 2 year contract extension.

Aye. I was losing $20k/month over my wage budget. I could have fired everybody and only played with greys, and we still would never break even.
Rondonian State Champ - 1st! (let's be honest though, 2 of the teams are always grays, 2 of the teams are grays who didn't get relegated last year. The race is really between 4 teams)
Third Division Group 7 - 1st
Third Division Playoffs - Out first round on penalties
Brazil Cup - Out first round after scoring all the goals for the other team (Div 1 team none the less).
BoD sold another couple players. Still losing a tonne of money. Star right winger was mad at me for taking him out, at 65 minutes, from a 6-0 romp over a gray team. *sigh*
