Is there a way to stop losing money every month?

I know trying to get the players/staff wages down is a good way to get the expenditure down. But is there a way to increase income funds?

cant get a feeder club or a feeder club abroard cos im burnley n the board wont let me.

sorry if this is a dupe thread, couldn't fine one of this kind.
 
Good question. Would love to have an answer for you. It seems really difficult to sell players on this version. You should have a good enough side to get promoted with Burnley. The financial difference of managing in the Prem compared with the Championship is astronomical.
 
1) win as many trophies, promotions as possible... (the better you play the more your fans willl come to see your games, the more gate receipts you will earn)

2) it is a tad hard to sell players in Fm11 (get rid of high earning dead wood, release them or terminate, offer free)

3) all the extra transfer budget you have, put it directly into to your wage budget (the more money you have available in your wage budget the better as the extra cash earns you interest as it is not being used) this is the most appropriate and easiest way to start or attempt at making a profit

4) thats about all I can think of right now..
 
Income is only really increased through ticket sales, shirt sales, and sponsorship from month to month. I'm in my fourth season with Everton and after a couple of seasons my stadium got an extra 10,000 seats put in by the board and it helped with my monthly losses. Signing players from Asia is another way, I signed Lee Chung-Yong which led to increased shirt sales, and the only way to increase sponsorship is by increasing the stature of your club, and that just means doing your job as manager and winning games.

Its always best to remember that most money in football is given out at the start/end of each season, like the PL gives out huge amounts for the place you finish. Champions league give out 6mil at the start and up to around 25mil at the end depending on where you finish so all losses should be accounted for once everything balances out.
 
Always playing as a LLM and starting off as a Amateur or Semi-Pro side my clubs always loose money.

A solution you may try is to prostitute your team at the start of the season during friendly matches.

Im not sure how effective this will be with a bigger club like Burnley but the team I'm currently managing looses £1,000 a month, that's not much I hear you all cry... it is for a team that has a gate of less than 50 a week.

However to combat this at the start of the new season I'm playing all of my friendlies away to the highest bidder and have singed up for 5 at £16,000 a piece netting me a cool £80,000 for my campaign chest.

This can maybe mean the difference between buying player you want instead of players you merely need to cover the gaps. Therefore making it more likely for you to achieve the goals set in Riddick87's post.
 
Im in my 5th season with Burnley and I havent found finances to be much of a problem. Finished first in the champoinship and then finshed 13th, 9th, 6th.

After the first season I got 25mill to spend, Just dont spend it all and dont sign any massive wages. The team is good enough to stay up. (maybe a new keeper) and check your reserve team, Chris Mccan is on a good wage but he isn't good enough for Burnley.
 
Simply get rid of the wasters. I played Kieron Dyer 5 times in 6 months and he was eating up £70K a week. Seeing how West Ham get a ****** budget I made him unhappy until he wanted to leave and then he went on a free transfer:D
 
Easiest way is to form a link with a US/Chinese club. You'll be making profit every month, but seeing as you can't do that I would set a wage budget and just get rid of players who are above that limit (or only have your star player earn that much).
