You're a lucky man, Horned. My youth pull was so awful, I fired him as soon as I took one look.

[vex]

Mine are always like that, at least I finally passed the magical $1000 barrier. Now, I'm looking to break the magical $2000 barrier

[samifan24]

No matter what I try, I sink deeper and deeper into debt each week. As of this week, I'll be over $240,000 in the hole and I can't figure it out. I don't have many hefty salaries on my roster and I schedule as many home friendlies as possible. How am I continually losing money?

Hi. I don't like you.*

*But I do appreciate the work you've done on the FOFC Cup, though. And I dig the 4-5-1.

samifan24, Once your that deep into debtbt you either have to depend on a lucky youth pull or start selling some of your star players.

What does your economy screen look like?

In my case, I expanded my staff a bit too high so it's a big money sink for me at the moment. So that, basically, the combination of interest (curses!), staff and stadium (in conjunction with the obligatory US$20 000 youth spending) is combining to sink me weekly (except for weeks with a league home game).

[daedalus]

Speaking of sell . . .

What kind of minimum do y'all think should be set and what I might be able to expect on someone like this:

Sammy Jones 

183 000 US$, 28 years, inadequate form

Has weak experience and wretched leadership abilities

Stamina:    excellent     Keeper:     disastrous

Playmaking: poor          Passing:    inadequate

Winger:     passable      Defending:  solid

Scoring:    inadequate    Set Pieces: disastrous

My team is on the wrong side of broke and need the get back near the realm of the livings.

Also, would I be better off waiting until season beginnings to sell (ie, is the market better then)?

edit: because I'm too incompetent to do proper fonting

Ya. You're having a lot of the same problem as me. The combination of staff cost and interest kicking your arse.

The only thing I can think of is, maybe, pare staff down some and start looking at some selling to get into a slightly smaller debt range. Basically, what I'm going to try now.

Heh.

[samifan24]

See I am going to get rid of staff but I know I'll take a weekly hit for cutting them. I think it's $1, 000/per but I guess it's better in the long run.
As far as selling players, I don't want to take the $1, 000 transfer-listing fee for that, either. I'm trying to play smart here and minimize losses. I love Hattrick, but it's killing me!

[daedalus]

Hee hee. Me, too!

It's 1 500 per.

And what seed did you want next season?

It seems you are overabundant in staff. I have 2 keeper trainers, 6 assistants, 1 of everything else except 2 doctors and physios. I fire the doctors when I dont need them and never hire more than 2, more than that is less bang for your buck in my opinion.

I was in over 400k in debt but my keeper pulling program has seemed to work, I am approaching -200k. By the way I am only passable in youth camp and put in 10k a week. After my next stadium expansion I go back to 20k.

The only other thing is I have 25 players. Why I do this is to make sure no starter gets injured other than in a league game. Getting guys injured in friendlies irked me no end.

Oh I forgot this is my 3rd season in Div V. Ignore me.

I have a friendly set up with one of your division-mate (The Schwing) so I looked at your game against River Plate. 3 FORMIDABLES! Yikes! My players have only been on the wrong end of formidables, our division winner got them a-plenty against us. What do you think your chances are of pulling ahead of those guys? I see you have one game against them left.

[HornedFrog Purple]

Well I am the only team that beat them 1-0 at his place. Basically the only chance I have is to win out unless someone wants to do me a favor and draw or beat River Plate, then I am going to use my match of the season against him because I will have no choice. Then from what the promotion thing looks like whoever wins this thing will have to play a play-in game because our point total is near the border.

That team Girondins FC(sp?) messed up my master plan when I drew with them last week. The funny thing is he did the same thing last year to me when I was in a position to catch Flinthills who promoted last year. Then he turns around and gets stomped by River Plate hehe.

So most likely I will end up 2nd again. I hattrick email the River Plate fellow to shoot the breeze and I support him. Its a pretty laid back division which I will probably be in till 2007. I decided I am going to start a grassroots US-national team manager campaign for all us little folks. My track record of mediocrity speaks for itself.

[daedalus]

Heh. "Vote for me. I'm just like YOU!"

At least you're not getting thrashed like we are. The Mighty Mephistopheles got promoted to our division and has 25 points in the 9 games with the goals total of 55-3. The only two points they didn't get was due to a 2-2 tie. [For the record, they thrashed us 4-0 and 0-10 in back-to-back games to destroy our confidence and fan support.] 3 of us holdovers from last season are just trying to stay out of demotion.

[vex]

You got my vote.

[Alf]

HFP : Girondins FC is the name of my favorite club : Bordeaux, and it's spelled correctly (guess, you have a French guy in your league !)


Spokepersons : with 4 guys, I managed to get around 27K$ per week, what if I increase theiur number ? decrease ?
