Final Whistle

First season in 3rd Div, part 1: Financials

Written 15 July 2019, 16:20

I was unsure that I should promote last season, but I estimated that with a little tactical advantage I could survive at lest the initial season.
And it started to come in place, following a resounding victory against the leader of the division, 3-0 on the away match, and a close home match lost 0-1 despite having the possession and the shots in our favor:
Adrianopol FC
0 - 1
TRK United

Shots
5-1
Shots on target
2-1
Ball possession
55% - 45%

But back to the financial aspect, here are the raw datas with details to follow below:
Sponsors 92,050 C
Media rights 51,656 C
Transfers 4,865,835 C
Tickets 704,392 C
Other 37,440 C
Income 5,751,373 C
Operation costs 0 C
Upgrades -850,000 C
Transfers -3,967,076 C
Wages -352,799 C
Other -93,159 C
Expenditures -5,263,034 C
Result 488,339 C

So compared to the 2nd place in 4th Division, the Sponsors, Media and Finishing place prize were lower by some 4k:

***2019-27 (4th div) ||| ***2019-28 (3rd div)
Position place 84825 ||| 37440
Sponsors 61444 ||| 92050
TV Rigts 39345 ||| 51656

I also increased the stadium with 1k places for 850k which led to almost 20% increase in tickets income.
Season tickets 704392 ||| 624000

L.E.: Just started the 2nd season in 3rd and I have also improved the stadium to 10k seats, and with no good DC my chances for the next season to stay in 3rd are slim, as I had to sell I had to sell https://www.virtualmanager.com/players/12455931-magnus-munkvold in order not to risk loosing him to retiring (taking a -150k dip).

Next I'll have to sell https://www.virtualmanager.com/players/12510451-ville-ekberg for the same reason, and with a team averaging 50 it's difficult to remain in 3rd.
From observing the others in 3rd I noticed I can expand the stadium to around 12-16k which will sell at 7 C, for an minimum of 1.3 M credits / season.
So depending on where I'll end up I might try a low cost team to earn from tickets or try and flip some more to accelerate the construction of training facilities.
