Nottingham Forest Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Peterborough might be worth a shout. They continuously sign young players and sell them for a profit. There is a thread on this forum for them but having had a quick look I'm not sure what sort of budget they get. Bristol City might be worth a go and I'm sure Sheffield United have a bit of cash to spend. They did on 14 and I don't think much has changed. Leyton Orient had a takeover during the summer so they might have a bit of cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedromanuelpinto Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 As a Manchester United fan, no thanks I was thinking Fulham to be honest, but is there anyone in League One worth a punt? Sheff United, have a nice team without any cash (500k €), should be a nice team to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Coventry City? Although that might be a little tricky. In real life Blackpool are run fairly well but the budgets are extremely tight. Alternatively Accrington Stanley in England as well. Very well run club but funds are tight.

Many thanks Deportivo start with £56m debt and are one of the favourites for relegation from La Liga. You have no transfer budget to start, only a couple of extra £'000s in salary to throw around and only get 25% of any transfer income you can receive to play with. ....Or Racing Santander in the 2nd tier in Spain are tipped for relegation with £28m debt (and a club value of a mere £9m). ....Or Sporting in the same division with £42m in debt and only tipped for mid-table finish.

They have a couple of really good players that could be in Serie A/B they also have some really good youth players. They have a wage budget of just over 90k which is much more than the rest of the league. As for transfer budget you will start with next to nothing, if you are willing to let 4 or 5 of your players go including a couple of your younger players you could end up with a transfer budget of almost 2 million, as long as you negotiate with the board for a higher % of the sales and negotiate the player sales. Also a plus for Serie C is you can loan in as many players as you wish, Novara have a good enough rep that you can bring in some really good players, I won't go name dropping here though. The only downside is the board do demand that you win the league, I just finished my first season and I am really enjoying the save. I also did Leipzig last season but this team is a bit different as they do not have a board that will keep pumping money into the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
