To what extent is it possible to successfully run a LL Club, and also make a profit?
I am currently Harrogate Town, and although I am under the wage budget, the club continues to lose money every month, meaning there are no finances available for transfer funds etc.
Is this just a fact of life, or can something be done on my part to manage finances better?
Have a look in your finances screen adn have a look at your expenditure and find out what you can cut down on, then have a look at income screen and see what capital you can maximise, plus ask for a parent club as they provide a useful cash injection. It is fairly difficult but not impossible, do as well as you can in the cups as well, i've heard a few stories of people fielding weakened sides and the money from the cups can prove invaluable.

Tipping, and we don't do parent clubs here either.

True, but it'd be nice to be able to feel there's something I could do about it.
LLM is about realism right? Well feeder's are an integral part of RL football, but however there are exceptions as I have discovered agreements between English clubs are seemingly prohibited, so the choice on feeder clubs is up to you.
