Yesterday in my Palermo save I sold a player, Fabio Maestro, to a Chinese team for €30m. The board allows me to spend 70% of incoming transfer fees, so my transfer budget went up with about €20m (to a total of €22m).
This is all normal, but besides this it also nearly tripled my wage budget! This went from about €280k per week to €740k per week. So instead of just adding it to my transfer budget and then allowing me to shift some of it to the wage budget, it seems like you get to spend the incoming money twice. I have also noticed this happening in a different save.
Did anyone else experience this? Is it a bug?

No not seen that, will keep an eye out. Recently started a save with Palermo. In the 3rd season.

Can't say I've ever seen that happen, but then I don't usually stick around long enough to sell players for big money  It could potentially be an oversight, but I guess it could also just be them re-evaluating your financial position thanks to that big windfall. I don't know about Italy, but I know some leagues have a % of turnover limit for wages. |

As both lads beofre me said, I haven't really noticed that. I have sold a ton of players for high fees at my La U save, but I'm not a big spender on the save so really the transfer budget isn't something I really look into. Will try to check more carefully to see if I can spot it. Maybe you're better off posting this at SI's forums, for a bigger audience and maybe a potential bug report.

I don't know about Italy, but I know some leagues have a % of turnover limit for wages. That's a good shout, but I can't find any of this in the league rules. The board so far had been quite reluctant to let me spend much, although practically all our money had come from Serie A tv money, and a spike in wages would cause troubles in the long run. Maybe this showed that we are able to sell players for big fees, but nearly tripling the wage budget seems insane. Essentially they gave me the incoming fee to spend on transfers, and then spend it again on wages for this year, and therefore for upcoming years as well!

In my PSV save I sold some players for big fees too and after a while I noticed that I had a ridiculous wage budget, it had doubled in 1,5 season. I actually posed this at SI's general forum, but I haven't gotten much response yet. I'm pretty sure there will be interest in my players again in the summer and I might have to sell some, so I'll keep an eye on what effect it has on my budgets! Cheers for the answers! |

Yes won both serie d and c. Just came 4th in serie b after a major drop in form. Got the playoffs next. Was going down the youth only route, changed slightly as I had to5make a couple of loan signings to field a team with injuries etc. |

I think I may have found a pattern related to this. In the summer I bought some players out of my 48m transfer budget. I then sold a defender for 20m, but this didn't take me over the initial budget and it didn't affect my wage budget, other than getting rid of his wages obviously. In January I sold another defender, this time for 72m which took me easily over my initial budget, but in addition also raised my wage budget by about 400k per week. Then Roma came in for another player whom I also sold for 72m, which raised the wage budget even more.
Oddly enough, the reverse doesn't happen. As a test, I bought a guy for some stupid money, 110m or something like that, but it didn't bring the wage budget back down. So selling before buying seems to be a way to 'trick' your board, or at least mine, to let you spend crazy amounts of money. There is 180m in the bank now, but if I would spend my 150m transferbudget AND the 950k per week in spare wages, we would soon be back in Serie D I'm afraid.
