An economy
that doesn’t spiral
In many online managers money ends up worthless: everyone swims in millions. In Fakenine every euro goes in and out through a ledger, and a League Bank makes sure the economy doesn’t spiral.
Where the money comes from
- Collective TV rights: one part equal for everyone, another by table position and another by fan base.
- Own TV deals and advertising boards that you negotiate.
- Sponsorship according to your fan base.
- Gate receipts, season tickets, boxes and parking.
- Player sales.
Where it goes
- Wages for players, youngsters and staff.
- Stadium maintenance and works.
- Signings, bonuses and agent fees.
- Taxes: a share of each season’s profit.
Real inflation
Prices in the game rise with real European inflation: wages, TV, tickets and works. What’s signed isn’t revalued, so a long contract signed early ends up a bargain, and money sitting in the bank loses value.
The League Bank
It sets each season’s TV pot, curbs outrageous offers and advances interest-free money to the rookie manager who goes into the red. Everything it does, it announces.
FAQ
Can I go bankrupt?
Yes, if you spend more than you earn. Your finance director warns you first, and at the start the League Bank gives you a hand.
