doncaster Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I,m starting my 3rd year as doncaster boss in my game.in my 1st season we finished 8th in the championship mainly down to the goal scoring of di santo who was on loan from chelsea.in my second season we won the championship with a squad of old players(who since retired) that i got on the cheap i.e sol campbell etc.i'm now about to begin my 1st season in the premiership and i face a mammoth task of keeping doncaster up.amazingly i have only been offered 750k in the transfer kiitty despite finances being down as secure.i have a lighweight squad which needs investment and i have already sold some poor players to add to my funds.I'm really annoyed and have job offers on the table from bolton and sheffiel united(also promoted but their manger left to take over from tony pulis at stoke).my starting 11 would be wallker rb.james o connor cb.russel anderson and sam hird.lb.lee naylor rm.coppinger cm.stock and woods lm.quinton fortune f.c viduka and novo.by all means that squad is not good enough.i love the club though and would hate to leave but i'm really angry and tempted to go because of those 2 job offers and the other jobs which are vacant.should i go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWaRFeGa Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I would certainly leave for a club with a better reputation. But if you're a die-hard Donnie fan, then maybe you'd want to stick with it? Tough one really. It's hard to be anything else than a selling club. Maybe use the money from the Premiership to build-up your squad again if you get relegated.

Nottingham Forest Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Itll be a challenge for you. You should enjoy it. Just think if you keep them up. Have you just got your wage bduget and transfer budget for the season. So are you at 25th of june. I would look for free agents. If you are in your 3rd season then there should be some decent frees that would improve your squad and help you. Also look at teams in Greece and teams in South America for players who could be cheap. Btw what is your wage budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncaster Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 90000 is my wage budget and i'm spending about 86000 on wages.i'm just gone into july and because of my wage budget i can't sign too many good free agents.i offered beckham a deal but he wouldn't come.i,m by no means a doncater fan i'm tempted to join bolton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Go for Bolton then. Nothing wrong with making a step-up to another club. Seems like you've taken Donnie as far as they are able to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I would stay mate. If you get relegated then so be it. If you stay up you should get more. However it is strange that you have only been given £750k transfer budget and £90k wage budget. Even with Scunthorpe and other teams I get about £5m-£15m with about £125k to £300k for wages.

heathxxx Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 At least stick with them for a season in the Premiership, just to see how you get on. After all, if you're just going to jump ship because of a tight budget, it makes starting the game with Doncaster pretty pointless to begin with, right? Think of forum members who've taken clubs from the depths of the BSN/BSS, all the way to the Premiership and Champions League victories... low budgets didn't get in their way.

Check the board expectatiosn because if they are try to avoid relegation then if you do get relegated you should hopefully keep your job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive just started a game with Droylsden yesterday. We made a big loss and everything but I helped keep them up. I have now got to do a better job with £1k less wage and no transfer budget anymore. I only have 18 players and 2 are out for 3 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacman Jones Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 You shouldn't resign due to lack of funds. I only had 1.4k wage budget at Farsley after having 4k the year before. Managed to do enough to get promoted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
