He even asked to go onto the transfer list and even though at the time I didn't want him to go I accepted to try to keep him happy. He asked to come off the transfer list a few months later when we were top of the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankie Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I suspect that you won't easily be able to improve their morale through normal means. Perhaps offering them improved contracts (if they sign them) might work. But I'd expect them to reject contracts out of hand. You might have to sell them for as much money as possible and then try to build enough of a squad to keep you in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Season 2016/17 Review - Prescot Cables in The Championship After just missing out on the playoffs last season, I was hopeful of making it this time. League Table League Positions Graph Had a great season, often pushing the top two for the automatic spots. I should have finished 3rd but in my final game against Chesterfield I had two players sent off and then gave away a penalty in the 94th minute. It was a shame for me, but it actually saved them from relegation and relegated Burnley. Squad Transfers Had to sell a few players to keep myself afloat, which was a shame, but I managed to keep the backbone of my team together. Star Player It's him, yet again. He signed a new contract which was great news, hopefully I can keep him here for his whole career. I'm facing Bolton in the playoff semi, which I'm not looking forward to since the two players who got sent off were my only two right wingers, Bolton are also one of the form teams in the league.

Are there any limits on signing players, like are you only allowed to do it through the player search or can you look around clubs reserve teams? You are allowed to sign anyone you can scout. And the other way is to get them in on trial and thats ok too. For proof generally getting a scout report on the player is enough. Otherwise the best way to do it is show a screen showing them on trial. Either is acceptable. There are no worries for english players it is just overseas players you have worries with.

Peljam Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Witton Albion - League 1 - 13/14 - Rodrigo De La Vega First season in L1 and I was expecting it to be a hard slog. We started picking up points here and there but not in a very consistant way. Mid way through things started to pick up and the team started to hit some sort of stride. With one game to go we were in a playoff spot but we lost it in the last game. Table Graph Glad that we missed out on the play offs in a way. We aren't ready for the Championship, in term of players and money. The team needs another season to gel together properly and next season all the gate reciepts from the new stadium should wipe out the half mil of debt. 65k of loan payments a month soon added up. Anyways, the best players on the season are a toss up between Anson and on loan Eccleston. And I managed to pick up this guy who hopefully should either become quite the player or bring some cash in. So the plan for next season, I need to get a couple of decent players on loan to improve the depth in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
