No just the first payment you would have to make.

From my experience it's actually the value of the first years payments that disappears from your transfer budget and the first payment that is taken from your actual overall balance.

Therefore, if you buy over 48 rather than 24 months, you have more money to spend on transfers in your current year. (Of course, it may reduce what's available in later years as your making payments for longer.)

I'm 3 seasons into a file with Sevilla, and in my first season I spent 8 mil and had a budget of 10, and made sure my wage structure was well within limits. This lead to me getting a transfer budget of 52 million the next season, and I spent about 40 of that again making sure my wage budget was well in control. But throughout that second season everytime I checked my finances, my overall balance would always be in red, and it'd go down and down each month to at one stage -50 million. Not sure why this is, the chairman had to take extra loans to make the club remain competieve. The exact same thing happened throughout my third season too, which is getting quite fustrating. I'm trying to make a overall profit each month, but it seems impossible.

You don't have to spend the money!!

If you like to keep your finances in the black, but your board gives you a massive transfer budget, just don't spend it.

I have a similar situation in my current Fiorentina game. I have sold most of my dead wood and purchased young wonderkids cheaply, so that six months into the game I have a balance of around £25 Million. The board, seeing how well I've been doing and prudent with money have upped my transfer budget to over £50 Million, but if I spend this I'll go into the red.

Not rocket science really. In fact you've more control over your finances than you might realize.

In most cases, if your at a successful club, the expectation is that you will probably go into the red mid-season, and get back into profit at the end of season with prize money and TV rights etc.

If you want to achieve a profit on a month by month basis you don't spend anywhere near the wage or transfer budget you're given. Simple really.

Put money from the transfer fund into the wages fund, that way you earn more interest on it, I'm currently making half a million a month on interest alone.

£500,000 a month on interest?! oO) Liverpool third season I made £5,000 in the whole season!

I have a suggestion you might want to add in:
Look through the coaches wages, i had a 1st team coach on £30,000 a week and he only gave me 3 and a half stars, didn't have great management stats either as he was reserve team coach. I ditched him and brought in a series of 5 star £3-4,000 a week coaches.

I don't understand why anyone would ever release JSP.

If you can't sell him send him out on loan. First season I sent him out on loan. 100% wages paid £2.5m upfront fee and £2.5m future fee.

They didn't decide to pay the future fee and then I sold him for £4m start of the second season.

That means off of Park I made £6.5m whilst you lost £1.9m

O'Shea Kuzchak Berbatov JSP Brown Amos De Laet + many more either got loaned out for a future fee or sold for what they were worth. I mean even De Laet bought in £2.3m

Yeah at the moment making between £500,000 and £750,000 per month in interest, nice little earner, it's basically free money just for having a massive excess wage budget (atm spending about £700,000 per week on wages from a budget of £2.5 million per week)

Because he doesn't know when to stop arguing.

good tips, but if you are a small club with a small stadium the most of the money generatied at the gate goes to the other club, ie a home tie for dundee vs ac milan generates £120k but milan want £45k. i found it much better to play frendlies away, as far away as possible, and it doesnt have to be against big clubs so you wont get hammered and lose moral ie, sydney fc vs dundee, dundee recieve £160k for apperance which appears as other with out a increase in expendature.
