I find the way the economy works in BB quite different from similar online games. In my opinion it is not very easy for a new manager to plan a long term stable economy and I would like to have opinions/suggestions from more experienced players about it.

My main question to start with is the following: how fast should we expect our revenues to increase? So far I have won all my (5) home games, including 2 TV games by a large extent (+32 and +15). Will I have a major increase from merchandising and crowd in the coming weeks?

With all the players right now on the market from bot teams I would really like to have a better idea how much I can invest (and increase my salaries) at the moment... cause so far the weekly income has always been negative, without including TV revenues!

Thanks. For the moment my attendance is still pretty low, about 1/4 of the total capacity! I really hope you are right and I'll see the effects already for my home game tomorrow. But I guess that before expanding the arena I can still play on the ticket price, isn't it so?
You know... it's sooo difficult not to buy players when you can improve your team with just 10k$ per player... :)
The problem is that I don't know if I can sustain many salaries above 4000$.
I'll try to stop the shopping and make some cash now :)

i suggest in waiting to expand untill you get your arena get's full. Then expand and raise the prices a bid so you don't sell it out.. maybe like 95% full. That way you know you are serving all of your fans. With a full arena you can't tell if there are more people willing to come.
