mbsears Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So I started a career with non football side Dagenham & Redbridge. My goal was to take them from the 5th tier and gain promotion as much as I could. Well in short I destroyed the national league pretty easy and won the title mostly with the players I inhabited and a few cheap free agents I bought. Pretty much the same story with League Two as well. I thought i'd start to see trouble in League One but through heavy scouting of the free agent pool I surprisingly did very well in League One and squeaked into the playoffs and gained promotion into the EFL Championship. I never expected to make it this far on the talent I was able to get on my very limited budget but sense I had I decided to see how far I could go. When I saw I was a heavy favored relegation candidate I decided to buy some money from the Steam Store. While it allowed me to gain the players I needed for promotion into the EPL, it wasn't enough to stay there and has proven to be a mistake on my part. Now I am struggling to stay in the EPL but the even bigger problem is that I am losing money every month just paying my players. I am headed for serious financial trouble unless I sell all of my high priced players and start a tumble back down the ladder which of course I don't want to do. I also would hate to get sacked after investing so much time into he club. Will my attendance improve fast enough for things to balance out if I try to hold on for a few seasons in the EPL or am I fighting a losing battle with my finances?

Black and Yellow Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'd expect that even if you go down your finances will be fine due to being in the PL and the money that comes with that. Obviously if you survive for a couple of years your balance will grow astronomically as the league is a cash cow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbsears Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks, I'll try to hang on then. I for sure don't want to keep buying funds in order to stay alive. That was a misstep on my part. I grew faster than I could afford to support it. Hopefully the EPL tv money will keep me afloat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
