In the beginning of the game Chelsea is worth 2 Billion pounds. But when I increased the revenue for United (just for the sake of experiment) to 2 Billion, they are still not the richest club! I did the same with other teams and some of their financial status shot up! I then increased the VALUE for some players in different teams, and the club's value goes up as well but not all the time.

My question is how to make your club the richest (without cheating of course). How does FM 2008 measure the value of your team? Does the value of the players you have count or reputation count as well?

the value of the players does have a influence,but since when wes Chelsea worth 1billion!!!
When you sign big rep players your club value goes up as they bring in merchandise revenue.

AS Roma are highest valued in my game at over £400 million so I have no idea how that is calculated!

Which "United"?

If you mean Man Yoo, they have substantial debts of around £750million. That's probably why.

From what i've seen it seems to take player values, bank balance, facilities, reputation and success into account.

I finished 3rd 3 seasons running with Roma and had roughly the ame balance at the end of each season, and had been buying/selling players for similar amounts. My value went up gradually each season.

Around 2043 I say. Pity you couldn't just pay it off more when you wanted to.
