What to do with Your Money
As with all real-life teams, a great part of the game revolves around financial success, and those clubs that are richer, are the ones that are most likely to get the better players when they come up on the transfer market. For the clubs that are not so well off, there are the perils of the Overdraft, which you can apply for at any time.
Overdrafts up to £1 million are allowed, with interest being compounded every session, at 10% for debts up to £500,000 and then at 15% for any debts above that mark. Beware the pitfalls of taking your club too far into the red, for the Bank manager wields tremendous powers, and should your club be unable to fulfill its obligations, he is quite capable of forcing the sale of one of your better players, or watching as your club is closed down through bankruptcy!
However, should your club be in the enviable position of having money to spare, then your `financial advisors’ will use it to invest. For any amount you have saved away over about one and a half million pounds, interest will be generated every session. This interest is variable, so please don’t try to calculate it based on the Dow-Jones exchange figures or anything; just be satisfied with what you get!
