Expenses

Expense TypeDescription
Ground Maintenance Each seat in your stadium costs you $1 in weekly maintenance. Any money you spend during the week on ground expansion will also be listed here.
Player Wages Each week you must pay your senior and youth players their wages. Wages for players are set at the beginning of each season and are based on the skill levels of the player at the time. There is a minimum wage spend for both squads, $30,000 for seniors and $15,000 for youths. If either squad does not meet the minimum then you will be charged these values.
Academies The amount you invest in your academy is removed from your bank balance each week.
Player Purchases (you are highest bidder) Indicates the amount of money you have spent on players for which you currently have the highest bid.
Player Purchases (completed) Amount of money you have spent on completed player transfers for the week.

Debt

If a team goes into debt, they cannot bid for players on the transfer market until their balance becomes positive again. If you find yourself getting into debt, consider selling some players and/or downgrading your academies.

Your team will never be closed down for going into debt. However, if you are in debt at the financial update for two updates in a row, you are sent a warning message. If you are still in debt after four consecutive financial updates your highest wage player is placed on the transfer market in an effort to raise funds and resolve your debt problems. If you highest wage player is already transfer listed, your highest wage player not already listed on the market will be placed on the transfer market.

Finance Cap

if you bank balance exceeds $30,000,000 at the finance update then it will be capped at $30,000,000. If you go over during the week and spend some to get you back under the cap then your balance will reflect that at the end of the week.
