Same here. Same issue 6 months ago, when I last played the game, but can't remember how I got past it. Not very intuitive, I have to say.

Magic - cheers! I'll check when I'm on the game again, tomorrow.

Anyone with experience of how much cash prize is given per position, for a Premiership league finish? I think it used to be something like £500k per position up from the bottom, as a general rule - so finishing 8th would pay £6m for example, in FM09. The reason I'm asking, is assuming my...

OK, it seems from the last couple of responses, I shouldn't worry too much, but try and deal with the problem rather than try to make additional signings (my prudent plan, anyway) and risk making things worse. I believe I have enough quality in the squad to achieve the objective of a top half...

Hmm. I sign mine 'outright' and look to do the same when I sell, if possible. I have no outstanding transfer debt, and am within transfer and budget limits. You are this much in debt an are not threatened with the sack, or are seemingly likely to go into administration?

..............now is the end of September..........*sigh.

I have to comment here: I play the game, with the utmost integrity - I try to treat the game as 'real-life' as possible, refusing to cheat (that would make the whole game ponitless!). None-the-less, time and time again with FM09 I was compounded to save the game after EVERY match, in case...

Thanks Djetou - I think that answers what I was after. A fairly realistic scenario I guess - I noted Middlesbrough were deducted 10 points - I guess that means they went through it. Better see if I can stop this loss of cash then, before one of my better players goes, or I get points deducted...

I'm quite willing to ship out a few players, I'm hoping Birmingham decide to keep Harper who the have on loan and can have for £2.6m, and would like to shift Lovenkrands (injury prone, now I have 2 other left-wingers), and Ameobi (doesn't seem to score enough).

Yeah - I think much of it is servicing debt. A large debt. I'm within my transfer and wage budgets though, so its a legacy thing.

I'm in the early days of season two, managing Newcastle back in the Premiership. The (new) owner gave me a budget of around £17.5m to finish in the top half, for which I spent about £12m of adding some 'strength-in-depth' to the squad. Currently at the end of September, I still have arond...
