Football manager won't let me adjust my budget, why not?

Question

Hi there, I'm playing football manager 2008 and for the new season I have been allocated £32.5m for transfers and a wage budget of 1.3m, however I am only spending £780,000 on wages and it wont let me put the excess wage budget into my transfer kitty, why not? It says: The board can allow no further allocation of funds from the wage budget for transfers. What do I do? Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

You can use the FM 2008 data editor.  Select your chosen team.  Then you can edit anything you want from, finance, stadium capacity, and even use it as a 'free' transfer market.

You then load the game by selecting the edited database.

Depending on the club it can often be that some seasons it can't be changed. The board have given you a set budget and unfortunately this season feel that it is unreasonable for it to be changed. While it may seem that you should get extra transfer budget you are only 500,000 under your wage budget. To take this into consideration, that is a few big signings only and wages may have to be altered in your own team. The scope for change is too small that it would restrict your budget by too much to make it viable to change it. By taking even 100,000 away from the wage budget you'd get an extra few million but would be to close to the possibilty that you could exceed your wage budget.

All you can do is wait till next season I'm afraid and hope that you have more funds to play with and manouvre around to get the budgets that you want.

i agree with the person above what you do is go to the football manager 2008 folder then click on data editor it pops up then you click on file load then click on the default. you can then search for different teams and people etc( You can also create players and also teams which i had great fun with). its reall good you can also ajust the transfer and wage budget this way. it does take some getting used to though. then you save it as, for examle, manchester united. then you go onto the game as usual and start a new game then a box pops up saying choose a database you select the one you edited and have some fun!!!
