Asunto: I'm in trouble

Having been around for 7 years for some reason this season I find myself in bankruptcy trouble. Only have a couple of days to fix it or I am gone. Not sure why my supporters are depressed when I am 2nd in the league. Lack of money from tickets has been a big issue and I have dropped from a few million in the black to a million in the red in the space of a couple of months.

I've put up players for sale, sacked players, reduced junior school and even sacked a trainer. But fact is the only way I will remain alive is by selling the players I have listed, otherwise it's all over.

So feel free to have a look and help out if you can.

cut your squad back to 18-20 players including the trainees. Basically you should have your 1st 16 and any extra trainees you require that don't make that already for a total of around 20. 38 players is too much.

What are your coaches like? You might wish to drop an assistant back a few levels to save wages for the short term if they're all brilliant or higher.

you have in sell only 4 players....

What commenter said... how did you get a squad of 38 players?
Cull it back to 20 and it'll save you a lot of coin.

You can sell as many at a time as you want. List them ASAP so they sell before the deadline.

If I were you, I'd sell...
Adams
Bacak
Brown
Butterworth
Chipperfield
Garland
Groves
Harries
Huang
Kilkelly
Libesson
Nguyen
Onoforo
Robertson
Silvagni
Thornton
Whincup
Zane
Zillman

I had trouble putting them on the transfer list as it would not allow putting a reserve on them. So I have had to list at basically nothing. Most of the ones below are listed now. Feel free to bid for them.

Still 26 players on your list... time for another cull?

They don't appear to be good enough and they're costing you money.
When your cash flow allows, you can bring in better players. For the moment, get that bank balance back in the black. :)

Good luck with it.
(editado)

By the looks of it your bankruptcy deadline is 9pm Tuesday night AEST. Are you back under the $ limit to survive?

Apart from your GK the four players you have on the transfer list don't look like they'll bring in huge amounts of cash.

Yes, The deadline for them is today and Jasa currently has 700K bid on him so will be back in a better position.

In defence of that,
Libbesson 123 matches, has been a regular first team player for my team. Only recently started to try to blood others in for him. I had tried selling several times in the past. He has bids against him now currently $1000, he is worth far more than that as an incredible defender despite his size.
Thornton 65 matches 20 goals has been a fringe player and main sub for the team.
Brown 17 matches is one of the best younger players I have, playmaking
Onoforo 17 matches is a defender coming through as well
Silvagni 16 matches 10 goals is my best younger forward
Whincup 17 matches has good primaries but needs better secondaries
Zane only 20, probably agree with that as no technique and low passing

honestly, you're teamt is doing pretty well in 2nd league, but is far from top Australian teams...really far...

the best move would be to sell all your players except old, decent players and concentrate on brining in and training good youths

it's the only way for improvement

libbesson won't bring in anything more than 100k, with solid pace and aged 32

if your best prospects are 23-25 with a wage of around 5k each, i'd suggest you get better trainees, given that gough and sutton are around that wage in my team aged 20/21, and they're still pretty ordinary trainees

I hope you survive. This game needs an Aussie Striker :)
