So here's the attendance figures for last round of games. The number before the club represents the position in the table they were in before the game was played.
1 - Norwich City / 99.95%
2 - Everton / 99.94%
5 - Nottingham Forest / 97.19%
7 - Manchester City / 91.19%
9 - Chelsea / 99.51%
11 - Stoke City / 78.85%
12 - Fulham / 75.89%
13 - Tottenham Hotspur / 73.05%
14 - Arsenal / 86.03%
19 - Plymouth Argyle / 53.96%
Glad to see it's been fixed...
That's how it used to work earlier which was realistic. The numbers above are jumbled up.It is realistic than fans only attend home game when their club is doing well
I forgot to add lel as nobody understands my joke lelThat's how it used to work earlier which was realistic. The numbers above are jumbled up.
I don't think my numbers were calculated as per 86%. I barely made 100k whereas I had made 500k or so for the previous game. Something similar happened with Chelsea.
I don't think the system in place is actually working atm, it's all a bit random.
I was talking about income when I referred to numbers. Can you please see if the difference comes to 500k taking into account the attendance numbers for the last 2 home games?You got 51,991 attendance from 60,432 which is 86.03%. Not exactly sure how you got that figure given that everyone around you were in the 70's. Seems to leap out as an inconsistency to me, as does the Chelsea attendance and obviously the Plymouth one. The rest do have a slow decline in attendance based on position. If I remove the 3 I mention you get the following:
1 - Norwich City / 99.95%
2 - Everton / 99.94%
5 - Nottingham Forest / 97.19%
7 - Manchester City / 91.19%
11 - Stoke City / 78.85%
12 - Fulham / 75.89%
13 - Tottenham Hotspur / 73.05%
Why is no one interested in the Hammers job? One of the lower league clubs can surely pick it up.
Bids on 15 or so players now, now or never.

That's fair enough but you gotta compare that against the opportunity at hand. 1st div clubs aren't available normally. Saying this because you admit you will eventually move up.I want to see how far I can take Charlton before I decide to move up. It's getting hard though with such limited finances.
Arsenal v Chelsea (Old Engine) - 60,410 Attendance - Total Income: £2,797,096
Arsenal v West Ham (New Engine) - 51,991 Attendance - Total Income: £3,308,294
If Arsenal v West Ham has the same Attendance as the Chelsea game... £3,661,892
Ah feck, completely forgot that was the old engine anyways.
It's going to be an absolute massacre financially. Losing 30mil or thereabouts a season as things stand. It isn't even realistic if that's what this was supposed to achieve. They have made the wages realistic without bumping revenue accordingly.Those figures were slightly wrong anyway as I forgot to half the TV Revenue as you only wanted the Home Game Total Income. I've edited it.
But due to your lower attendance you missed out on £353,598.

Just consider how horrible it must be for clubs with smaller stadiums in Div2. Pretty much impossible to progress, don't get stadium upgrades, can't afford wages to get a decent first eleven so they basically have to try and fluke it with the crap match engine.
The reward for getting into Division 1 is even greater now given the cash outs and now the bullshit stadium upgrade. To put it into perspective let me look at Bournemouth as an example:
AFC Bournemouth - 16,754 (max capacity)
Below are the figures if they had max capacity each game:
Incomes:
Home Games = £1,009,551
Away Games = £305,883
Expenditure:
Home Games = £117,278
Grand Total: £1,198,156
If we now put in the average attendance: 11,694
Grand Total: £1,021,056
So you get 2 wage bills a week, so you need to divide that by 2 which gets you £510,528. That's his wage budget to break even each week.
Doing a quick look that would allow him a squad of:
14 players producing a wage of 483k roughly. (I say roughly as I used the lowest wages for each rating group).
3 x 90 players
5 x 89 players
6 x 88 players
Now or from before?@Damien did you record your squads individual wages down?
Now or from before?
Not exactly. Still 5ish hours left until voting deadline with two left to vote.@Damien Do we have a winner for the Newcastle job?
Yes I do. It's a bit outdated and doesn't have Mina in thoughBefore.
Yes I do. It's a bit outdated and doesn't have Mina in though
That doesn't matter. All I need are wages for 92, 89, 88 and 87 rated players.
Can someone apply for West Ham and reject the existing bids for their players?
NoIs that someone me?
Been tempted after the financial situation in Div 2, I lost another 800k yesterday, well & truly in the red. But I've been with MKD's since the start and think I have a better first XIWhy the fook hasn't anyone taken WH yet? I'd be all over that if i was in Div 2.
Is anyone out of the running?Not exactly. Still 5ish hours left until voting deadline with two left to vote.
Using Average Attendance of 11,694
Bournemouth Old Engine:
Grand Total: £730,727
Bournemouth New Engine:
Grand Total: £1,021,056
So if we use the above wage table (look a few posts above). You can form a squad of 14 players (could fill out the rest with 10k players).
1 x 90, 2 x 89, 3 x 88, 3 x 87, 5 x 86
Old Wages: £361k - £722k (when you double wages up)
New Wages: £419k - £838k
Bournemouth Old Engine:
Grand Total: £8,727 (minus wages)
Bournemouth New Engine:
Grand Total: £183,056 (minus wages)
So there is a very small financial increase using the new engine for small teams.

Not fussed with West Ham, I'll wait for red sky to have a mental breakdown.
