AcidBurn Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 After getting promoted despite conceding 71 goals over the season and having a pretty weak team still managed a lucky play-off final victory. At the time my wage budget was 15k a week after promotion it was reduced to 11k a week with the expectation of mid table finish minimum. I have finished clear of relegation but with such a low wage budget I cannot renew the contracts of the two best players and I cannot sign any free players either. The club has a low reputation so cannot attract any decent players on loan, I feel I have gone as far as I can but I only have a regional reputation so I doubt I can move higher than League Two where I am now. Do you ever leave a club in situations like this or do you carry on as manager, I think if I could get a team with a slightly better financial footing I could get promoted to league one. Not sure what to do so thought I would ask resign or battle it out and stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris23 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I carry on try get the club financially stable up the leagues the reward is far greater than moving to a club with money and expected to win.Im currently crystal palace who have little money slower building them up making around £100k-£150k per month with a decent squad and some very promising youngsters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have done before, and also when the chairman interferes too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 yes, i walked in protest when my best player was sold to a rival promotion candidate cause 'the offer was too good to refuse'. I then poached 6 of their players at my new club and they suffered successive relegations! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyr1777 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I always stick with my home Colorado squad for my main save, even though the financial system destroys what starts out as very financially strong organization. For a more complete experience I make another save in Europe somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krald Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I cant say I've ever had a worse wage budget after promotion, if I did, I admit I would be tempted to leave and start over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardengnome23 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have to say that its getting that way with my FC United save, managed to get them to League One and have had the chairman sell 7 players over the course of last season. During that time we were top of the league up until Jan and then they were sold and we slipped to 4th and lost in the playoff semi's to Ipswich. I'm about to start the next season and the squad I've got is pretty good, think I'll give it till Dec/Jan and see if any players are sold and what our league position is.

jayahr Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm always playing my careers in a way which I feel as realistic, i.e. as a journeyman in Crouchy's definition. Doing that, I do not have the patience to spend x years at one club in order to develop it as long as clubs with better potential from a higher are after me. I thinks that counts as leaving due to lack of current financial or general potential. What I don't do though is just leave a club. I only leave for another club, not for uncertainty.

Wigmore Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I left Gillingham after the board's constant refusal to build a new stadium (it is impossible to expand Priestfield) despite the finances being available and them being established as a Premiership side. Without a decent sized stadium they were never going to get the income and reputation necessary to take them any further, so I left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
