May basketball and the Hawks be the winners. Yes it is sad when you inherit a big mess. We all seem to do that. I have been playing for more than a season so if you want any advice let me know but before I even wait to here what you want to know let me tell you three things you must do.
1) Start training your young good players.
2) Don't spend too much money until you know what you are doing.
3) Do buy a level 4 trainer (aim for weekly wage of $15,000 or less and pay less that $15,000 for him - I paid $1,000 for a guy who I pay $13,000 a week)
4) Sack your useless players - dont pay money to guys who are worthless and will never play for you.
5) Think about buying one or two guys from the TL to fill any really bad holes in your team.
