Financial Utility - ping Larry

dimjulskur · 04-01-2007, 10:17 PM

Larry,

Have you thought about or already have a utility that centers around the financials. For example, keeping track of team profitability through history or identifying teams that have done the most (winning) with the least (payroll/budget)...

thanks

I really like this idea.

I am keeping this request in the back of the brain, as I am working on some other projects now.

The problem with a financial type program is that it would require you to do a monthly csv dump, while that is not a problem, the problem being is that not everything happens on the 31st of the month. So, you would really have to do a csv dump every single day to get a correct history.

For instance, if on the 15th of the month the media contract revenue comes in, but on the 18th, you traded away a high contract player so you gained back 10 million.

So t he problem is that it would be very hard to follow the financials and be able to explain or see what happened.

I will come up with something though. Just letting you know I was not ignoring the post. Well, I was ignoring it, but so what!
