I've never played FM before this month, but out of curiosity, bought FM24.
I've played through a single season in the South African National league, and the board is thrilled with my performance (finishing 7th in a 16-team league when relegation was feared/anticipated).
However... at the beginning I made some signings that put my payroll over budget by about 10%, ~$780k to a budget of ~710k. So the club hemmorhaged money all year and won't allow any new signings at all. Every single player but one has a contract that expires end of June 2024 (it's now end of May) and I can't resign any of them, or sign any new players at the moment. I have one more year on my contract.
So, what happens? The whole squad leaves and I have to recruit a new roster from ground zero? Will I get fired? Does the club just collapse at some point?
No idea if I should keep playing this save or not. It seems my manager has probably started building a decent coaching record, but starting over from nothing seems daunting, and clicking "Continue" for 5 weeks of game time to find out seems boring.
How do I...
