I am currently managing Bristol City and I managed to get promoted first season to the Prem. I spent most of my transfer budget and wound up at my worst on -25 million in the bank. When I checked for the most recent month I spent nearly 100k for 1 month in interest payments (considering this was for a balance increased from -17 to -11 million in that month would suggest an interest rate of around 10%). Surely the more sensible decision here for my club would have been to have some for of short term bridge financing of a large portion of the first transfer window budget meaning we never went into the red and could start to make improvements to the rest of the club sooner rather than going negative and paying this high interest rate on the clubs negative balance which ultimately means I cannot make any further improvements to the training and youth facilities until probably March or April as we have this big negative balance. This is something I know Andrea Radrizani did at Leeds and I'm sure a number of other clubs do the same.

Hey bit of a niche one. I only really play FM but I do tend to run big games (130k+ players) and I'm really noticing it being a bit more sluggish on this years game (either that or my patience is waining with age). In terms of my PC I have quite a powerful setup 32gb DDR4 RAM, a GTX 1070 8gb Graphics Card, and an i7 6700 processor. I can't imagine the graphics card or the quantity of RAM is slowing me down (I appreciate it might run faster if I upgraded to DDR5 but that will involve a new motherboard). So I was thinking if I upgraded my CPU to an i7 7700 or 7700k will I feel any noticable performance differences or do I need to do a more comprehensive rebuild with a new motherboard? Or am I maybe just hitting the limits of what FM can cope with?

For Leeds Rene Maric and Franz Schiemer aren't appearing in the coaching team only Ewan Sharp (they are there and are doing training etc just not in the coaching team list) Also not sure i'd say Ian Harte is still favoured personnel some of his actions post retirement as an agent haven't gone over well

Playing my first journeyman save in years at the moment and think it would be very good to be able to during the interview process to be able to recommend players who should depart those players should already be on the unwanted list/ offered out and in the reserves/youth team upon your arrival. Also it would be recommend positions you want to strengthen or specific player you want them to target and have scout reports waiting for you on your first day/ first couple of days or even begin the transfer negotiations for you.
