Since the last game I have signed 4 new youth players. None of them are great, but I stilll need some youth.
I have also sold 2 old, crappy players for a total of $40,000. I'm glad to get some of the dead weight off the team.

Power - 1
I'm going to try and have a "State of the Team" after every 5 or so games.
The team is $148,000 in debt still, but at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. There are a few of my youth players that actually look like they will make it into the Senior squad on a full time basis. I have only 1 problem player right now, unfortunately it is my scorer, Price. He seems to think that scoring goals for wignasty isn't enough. He wants to move to a bigger club. I would keep him forever, but the old manager (M.C.Hammer) has stupidly given him a clause in his contract that lets him go after this year if I don't get promoted. I think I'm going to suck it up and keep him for this season. I'm not sure I can replace that kind of scoring. Burke is starting to get into the offense now. I am just hanging on to him until someone offers me the "Magic Number" for him.
I have also notice an amazing skill my team has for jumping offsides during scoring chances. I can remember 4 goals that were disallowed because of this "skill". If I could only harness this power for good.....
