Hello, i have played fm for 27 years and always start with lowest club possible in the uk (smallest rep) and finish the game once i have won champions league with them.
However, having had a strong start with Aveley and got then very quickly up to The Championship it is now becoming very hard to progress with £12k a year of sponsorship and only a 5k seater stadium. I have the smallest wages in the league by far on £110k while 2nd lowest is £275k and top teams are on £1.8mil.
I am negative about £400k a month which swallows up the tv and prize money and more (need cup runs and player sales to keep me afloat).
firstly is there a way to reduce spending?
and has anyone else managed this style of play on fm touch/console bringing up a tiny rep team through the leagues?
obviously £12k sponsorship for a championship team is bad design but can I still do this and how?!
i also do a lot of friendlies to raise funds.
Sadly i do comprehensive highlights to enable the achievements and multiple seasons of championship mediocrity with no increase in revenue means the game is now not enjoyable.
thanks in advance for any help
