Wow. Okay.


a) -$709k means you're going to need to sell one of your big men
b) I don't think a DivIII team needs exceptional PR and Doctor. It's just overkill for your level.
c) You're grossly overpaying for all three staff members. (for example, my superior trainer is $26k per week)


I think my previous advice holds: sell the Italian big guy, fire all your staff (you can probably wait until after Saturday's game to do that) and replace them with low level guys (I'd go LVL 3 PR, LVL 4 trainer and risk going with a LVL 1 doctor until you get the economy stabilized and then get LVL 4 PR and Doctor) and buy a cheap 18 y/o big to train and flip before the season is out.
Remember, you only pay on Monday, so you should aim to time it so bidding ends on your big guy on Sunday and release and replace your staff the same day. That way you get the full benefit of having those guys around this week without having to pay them on Monday.

Well I guess some people need more explanation than others.

Did you get to -700k overnight? No. You have -40k weekly, meaning you should have foreseen this. If you want to disown all responsibility for this mess and blame it all on BB then you're beyond help.

Just wondering but how did he only just get the -500k warning...if he is losing 40k each week, then at worst case scenario he was on -499k before the financial update and would then be on -539k. At which point he would get the warning right? How has he got to -700k without already going bankrupt?

Or I'm missing something very obvious lol.

He played 3 away games in a row. Net weekly income doesn't account for that so he would of lost a lot more then 40k that week.

ah right :P My bad :P haha but still funny to see how someone can get that far in debt.

Fire all staff. Sell all players. And pretend like you have started the game again but at a higher level and with much more initial income and with all the knowledge you have from what you have learnt so far.

That is terrible advice. He has the assets to get out of debt without selling everyone. There is no need to completely panic and burn the whole thing down.

I don't think it is bad advice. I realise he doesn't have to do it to get out of debt. But it will give him a lot of money which he could use to restructure his team, expand his arena and effectively start again. It is a valid tactic that can be quite advantantageous and effective when used correctly.

If he sell all his players he might end up getting less than what they're worth. He has spent time building his team so selling it all would actually mean it was all for nothing :P. I would agree that selling a player for immediate cash to avoid doom and then dumping staff for lower level/reasonable salary will balance it out. He currently loses 40k every week, so if he dumps some 80k he's up to making 40k a week. After he gets away from the bankruptcy that's currently looming he can pretty much do anything he likes, except having overpaid overkill staff members :P

So, my team doesn't make that much money


Your team LOSES money. Big difference. This is a huge red flag for any organization.

my players cost too much


Disagree.

so is my staff


Agree, big time. The only option worse than firing them would be keeping them.

So basically, I'll have wasted all this time for nothing ?


I would argue you haven't spent much time at all, at least recently. How else can you explain losing 40k every week for long enough to be over 500k in debt? Your last player bought was in November, meaning you were probably in the black then. What happened?

You have dug yourself a deep hole, but follow advice on this thread and you just may recover without having to start over. In the future, remember cash (flow) is king.

Good luck.
