Many moons ago Ash put in a 20% wage reduction instead of changing the stages individually
So when you calculate wages you need to remove that 20%

Has the difference in academy levels ever been released if not will you let us mere mortals know the percentage difference in academy levels.
Eg.
Inad =-2%
Reas = 0
Sat = +2%
Good = +4%
Ect,ect,ect
I think it should be known if it is not already
And if it is known what is it and where can I find this info?
Cheers

Edit. Please :D

So everything above non existent is basically bonus training @ a % above the 100%
Can i ask why the increases per level won’t be revealed?
Is it that they are in fact so minimal you are worried that managers will see no real value in having higher academy’s over the money they would save therefore eventually rendering them obsolete and causing an inflation in bank balances.
If not....
I honestly see no reason why the benefits of having a better academy are not revealed as to entice managers to improve academy’s and entice someone like myself to work on having a balanced academy setup in both aspects of the game instead of concentrating on seniors with one club and youths with the other.
Why not give managers the information to make an informed decision on how they want to run there club.
Just like in RL cricket you hire and fire coaches based on what improvement your players will get from said hiring of a “better” coach.
The academy structure serves the same purpose does it not? An academy upgrade is the same as hiring a new better coach so why can’t we see the impact of it?

Total agreed hence why I ask questions knowing full well that I won’t get a straight answer but in the mean time using the answers I get given the words used to answer to make an informed assumption on the answer I was looking for.
Yet I can’t help but notice that the one question I asked that could of been answered was not.
But the thing for me is there are a handful ( not sure who or how many people have access to the data behind the scenes that help Or have helped in the past with the internals of the game) of managers that have access to this data that can make an informed decision regarding the biggest aspect of the game ( money) that the rest of us have to “guess”
But yes due to my own training and academy levels over the past season I’m pretty sure I have it worked out “or close enough”
But I want to know why, when some managers know the exact % changes and can make an informed decision on what level academy gives them the best “value for money”, why can this information not be transparent and revealed in game on the academy page.
Eg
Non existent 100% training
Meagre 101%
Deluxe 120%
( values for display purposes only and should not be considered real academy percentages in game)

(Currently Being stonewalled by GM, Mods and anyone else that has access to the data under the “ That’s for me to know and for you to find out” act of the beginning of time)
