That's weird, I'm playing as Dorchester too and I have the same problem. I've always been under the wage budget and still my account is sliding by 10k per month. Does the wage budget get bigger as you add more players?

If you have enough players to form a reserve squad then use them for the friendly games. I never enter the reserve league I just arrange friendlys against teams like Barcelona B or R.Madrid C. Go to view All clubs section.

It's not realistic, especially as you can arrange them the day before! However, at 50k a time it's not bad cash.

It's cheating really, but it's one way of coping with disappearing finances.

Hey,

I'm St. Albans - the best thing to do is get the hell out of the Blue Square South as you just bleed money. It took me 2 years to get promoted and I lost around 350k in that time, but once you get out you start getting a bit more cash (£85,000 in TV revenue, better attendances and so on)

While you're down there though:

Firstly don't cheat and organise big reserve fixtures to make money - you'll just feel cheap and dirty in the morning. Organise matches against the reserves of other teams in the league - they don't have a reserve league either and you will bring in a bit of cash from your under 18s and your reserves playing a game a week (you have to set them all up yourself so set a note to remind you when you need to make some more)

DON'T choose the other teams below the BSS or BSN - they will destroy your reserves and hammer their confidence, it's bad.

That should net you a bit of extra cash and keep your players fit.

Secondly - look at the contracts your players are on - offer everyone a new contract to see if they will take a pay cut (several will for unknown reasons) but make sure that, if it's a player you don't want, that you don't extend their contract beyond when it was originally going to run out. Also look out for young players with very large appearance bonuses - total it up and see how much playing matches is actually costing you and try to keep that down - if a backup player has a huge appearance bonus, don't play him unless necessary.

But really until you get out it costs a bomb

Cheers
