In the Forecast (Front Office - - -> Forecast) , I noticed that all the left side of the page is used, but the right side is more-or-less blank.

Now ... this actually gives a great opportunity to utilise the right side of the page. What I would suggest is this :-

(1) Keep the left side of the page as it is, the Forecast is perfectly fine and does a great job

(2) On the right side of the page, add another Forecast .... but this time the Forecast would take note of the current cash balance. This would be particularly useful towards the end of the season as it would give a good indication if a Manager's cash burn was too high and he was likely to run out of money during the off-season or not (I realise that it doesn't account for Friendlies etc).

As long as the 2 forecasts were clearly worded (i.e. Forecast with/without Current Cash Balance) then I don't think there should be any confusion and I think it might add some clarity to the Forecast.

Sorry, now I'm confused
I didn't get it what you exactly mean with "with" and "without" cashflow?

I think it could easily be less confusing to new players than it is now, as I think it is a common initial misunderstanding that the forecast does take the cash balance into account. I remember having seen a couple of threads about that.

Another way could be just to add to lines in the bottom like this:

Forecast result
+ Current cash balance
= Deficit / Cash balance at season end
