FM 2005 Expenses Question

[Chas in Cinti]

All:

In the finance area on FM2005, there is an Expenditures listing "Other". At first, I thought this was like interest on debt or something, but I'm finally in the black and I'm still incurring a charge. This is not a negligible amount and is bleeding away all of the good work I've done at getting my ca$h right. Any ideas on where these costs are coming from?

Regards,
Chas

Travel costs for your scouts?

That's what I was thinking, but I only have 2, and they're both scouting local (England and Scotland)... and these are some pretty high costs... hmmm

Prostitutes and coke.

If I recall correctly, it varies based on a number of factors. In England leagues, for example, I belive a big portion of that is a government tax. Not 100% sure though.

There's already another section for tax...

If not 'tax' specifically, I believe it is some type of fee being charged to the team.

Don't quote me on that though, its been a long day ;)

New balls.Gatorade,hookers,paying off refs...etc,etc

Unless FM does it differently than EHM, I believe that's where the 'dividends to shareholders' expense you get a news item about is tracked.

And don't forget other enhancements. Steroid doc, injection doc, (cough) MCFM (cough) not that I would know anything about any of those :)
