It cost me 2mil up front to buy Radford, Gusic, McManara and Pearshouse. Another 1mil per week to keep them. Have kept them for 2 economic weeks so far costing 2mil. In total lost 4mil in trying to secure an ABBL championship.
I spent 5 mill on acquisitions and then probably about 2 or 3 mill on salaries the first time I went from div 2 to 1.
Yes there was a million promotion bonus, but I went early spending big in the all stars week. (was out of the 4, facing possible relegation at the time)
