Payroll= $99mil
Media revenus= $25mil
merchandising= 13.2 mil
gate revenue=$30mil
Total= 68mil
68mil (income) minus 99mil (expenses)= -31mil
Since my numbers don't line up because April 22 doesn't exactly equal 1 month, I'd say -34 million is about right.
Of course it is "projected", and if you can average a higher attendance through the course of the year (playoffs helps, as evidenced by the year before)...same goes with merchandise. Your projected balance should change regularly.
As for the trade, it looks like your just about at your budget of $100.9 million, which is why the owner won't let you bring on any more payroll.

While this explanation makes sense, it really does make that bottom number useless, so why have it there at all??? I mean the word "projection" should mean some sort of actual projection you would think. This "projection" is so flawed its useless.
