We are projected, with a 29.6 million budget and expenses of 31.2, to 'lose' 1.6 million. The word lose is a slight annoyance since I know Mr Marquis is making serious money with this team. Our projected budget next year looks to be 35 million but with 12 in operating expenses and a 31m payroll there will be little left for anything else. I am worried our player dev and draft spending is going to start hurting us.
Fan interest is at 90, and Loyalty is good. In an average market the team is over performing in every way.
We've drawn 1.98 million to date, down 2.1% from last year, and are averaging 47,285. We've increased from 2.95 to 3.18 to 3.9 last year, love to break 4m this year.
Our most popular players are:
1) Jean Chartier
2) Hugh Collins
3) Ernesto Cruz
4) Bill Alexander
5) Ernesto Cruz

Our payroll is 24th of 26 teams at 22.2 million with a league average of 33.7, our average player salary is 571 in a league where 803 is the average.

(CAN SOMEONE!!!! Please let me know how, if I can, to increase the overall league budgets? Is there a 1 stop way to do it? Or if I go in and add a sum to each team will the teams then go from that budget up each year, or down? Or will it 'reset'? I don't want all the teams in the red when free agency hits and I feel like 5-10 million more around the league would open it up, but I don't want it to be spend whatever you want from a financial standpoint)

From a salary perspective I have 1 looming case, Spike Davis. At 340 this year he's looking to bump to 2+ million.
