I tried and I tried, but I could not avoid financial crisis. I went all-out the last two seasons, and came up just short of a league title (and an extra million in the bank). As I entered the financial death spiral, I realized I could win enough games to assure that my team stays in the EBBL (thus I went for bankruptcy rather than an early sale).
Hopefully it pays off.
Sorry that I'm non-competitive for the rest of the season (or two)
