sack/sell 8 players minimum (possibly 10) - why do you own 20 guys?
This will free up $15k a week easily in cash-flow.
You have til the next financial update so list latest on Thursday early hours of the morning and if no takers bite the bullet and sack them before the financial update.
If no-one is prepared to pay you $1k for them then is it worth paying them $2k a week to sit on your roster?
