I've nearly tanked my all conquiring Colchester United team by not really realizing:
a) How much a 10% wage rise REALLY is on 400k, multiplied by 15 Players. Doesnt seem like much, but its £1.6 Million a month, year on year.
b) Footballers bloody love a bonus, they WILL kill your funds if you do it on the regular, both Contract and Competiion
c) I'm woefully inept at Balancing the Books
d) When the board want you to Spend the Wage and Transfer budgets, its a recipe for disaster
e) Winning competitions, when at this level and this deep, Doesnt Even touch the sides
I have 80% of my Squad in the GOAL50 year on year, and by god, their Agents know it. But I have top quality depth, so I have that going for me, which is nice.
Half the fun is going to be recfitying this mess. I think.
