When I contact a new rider, I am informed that the wage bill for next year is estimated to be 109 000 Euros, and that the maximum authorized wage bill is 131100 Euros.
Then later in the same text it says that the budget allocated by my sponsor for next year will allow a total wage bill for my riders of about 147 300 Euros.
I don't understand the difference between maximum authorized wage bill and allowed total wage bill - can somone please explain? The difference is large enough to pay a good rider....
That doesn't sound right to me. There is a separate limit per rider as well, set by the directors, so my question remains:
what is the difference between maximum authorized wage bill and total wage bill.
Here's what happened to me with a really weak team in my first season in which I missed all my sponsor's goals: The maximum authorised wage bill allowed me to spend that much on my squad for the next season. However, what I failed to acknowledge, my sponsor would end up reducing his budget the next season because my results were so unsatisfactory - and I ended up in debt and needed to give myself a cash infusion via Lachi's editor.
So in that uncommon situation, sponsor confidence orange or even red and he'll reduce the sponsorship next season and your account balance is low, ignore the maximum authorised amount because you cannot afford it and run out of money next year.
In all other cases you can spend (only) as much as the current authorised wage bill allows, no matter how much more the sponsor promises to pay next season. This doesn't change even if you have picked a new sponsor in June for the next season.
