If we extrapolate, OOTP projects that gate revenue will be around 43mil, merch revenue around 24mil and his player expenses will be around 85mil. With these figures, Markus should make a profit this year (proj. budget room). So, I fail to see how, by making a profit of 10mil and staring with 2mil cash, he'll have a negative balance.

The only plausible thing I can think of that makes more or less sense is that 25mil disappear every year (luxury tax? I'm missing something here) for some reason. Last year he made 27mil and started the year at 2mil - this year he's set to be at 10mil but his projected balance is -15mil. Maybe the screenshot was put in context, but anyway, that's my best guess.
Yes, thats another thing, how did he go from 27M to a 2M starting balance? Must be a luxury tax or other revenue sharing. If thats the case it would be good to see it on the screen. Oh well, i'm sure its explained in the manual
