merchandise that is the only real regular income that the game has.

You do know that you get money from ticket sales, right?

Yes i know. But that is "not" regular cause the attendances are really small.

You should be making a good portion of your income from ticket sales, some from training, and merchandise should really be ancillary income.

always the same song...

i finished 5th and there's 3 weeks without tickets...

45k (10 players)
15k (1+5+3)

60k x 3 weeks = 180 of sure loses...
4500 income merchandising... x 3 weeks

-165 000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who can mantain this economy??

Most teams can.

I know it seems bleak now, but we heard this ad nauseum at the end of last season. Everyone was complaining how they were going under and wouldn't survive the offseason.

Look, you may dip into the red. The beginning of next season will get you back in the black. You, and everyone else who practices some decent management skills, will be fine.

Just manage your team well and you will see that there is nothing wrong with the economy as it is.

There is no need to have a roster of 21 players

Don't think that you can have in team all national players, you need players strong enough to win your championship. Probably, imho, there are still too much money, what I like of this game is that at the end is not so easy to manage all aspects but is also not so complicated.
Stop to ask more money just because you want to buy the best player paying him 5 millions ;)

Yes but I that you can't change the arena tickets prize for a month is painful, specially for newbies

In my case: my team lost the first TV match by a bunch when it was a bot but I suffered the penalty when I received the team (and also don't receive the TV income)

I have played others games where the better strategy is to keep tickets high, so my first month I test that resulting in very low attendances. After the first match I knew it was wrong, but couldn't change it for a whole month (1/3 of the season)

next month I put medium tickets and also hired a PR 10 - just 50% attendances, so this month i lowered tickets a bit more, but I'm losing money again because now in playoffs the arena is full.

I have two suggestions to improve economy management without boosting the income:

1 - Let change arena tickets weekly instead monthly

2 - Share TV income between all weeks: so you know how much income it will be and can plan better (i read at the forum the income was 200-220k and spent accordingly, but one month late found that at my division the income was only 120-140k...) and also if a manager joins in the middle of the season receive a proportional part. I've just missed one match this season, but had 2/3 TV income

I'm a succesful manager (just see my transfer balance and team ratings) but i have a serious debt. I wish my stars sell well because if they put a lot of free agents at season's end again... well my team will go to bankrupt

These are just all beginner faults, every beginner should be carefull with his money and learn everything first before spending it on a 25k a week lvl 10 PR manager. Nothing to blame the game here.

You call youself a succesfull manager while you are in debt. Don't you think that's a little adversative? (no offense)
Of course everyone wants to buy nice players etc, but you need to put your roster in perspective of your division. There is no need at all to have 5 players with high salary's (4500+) in the fifth division. I play in the 3rd and I pay only 41k, and still I will play the PO finals soon.

Managing is not just buying and selling players and put up a team who performs well, there is a lot more included in managing, for example to get a healthy economy.

Yes when i started to play the forum was full of threads telling that a level 10 PR won't pay off unless you were in 2nd division (i thought he would pay off in the long run, but two weeks ago i decided to fire him but only had level 9 and level 8 replacements till few days ago), or never put tickets at maximum and expected TV income at division 5 and so on. I was so beginner and stupid that did not found them, so i tried to learn by try-error, but the punishment is too much.

Also if those beginners mistakes costs you so much I BLAME the game for not providing a better begginer's guide or simply give me more control and reaction over my economy.

You can change the tactic and team effort for every match but not the tickets: You have much more control over how your team performs than over economy. Also had very bad luck, but i haven't gone to bankrupt yet

two of that players cost me a little (less than 5000k) or are my trainees half of them i planl sell at this season end, they had less salary but with new instant salary adjust...

Really? I thought that if you buy cheap players and sell valuable trained players your economy will be healthy...

seriously without a search tool for the forum its difficult to find the topics that might helped me. I just have no time for reading 100 threads every day
