Fair play. What job do you do?

What are both of your attendances like now?

Random question, was Tan Bo a regen? Seems old enough not to be, I ask as he isn't on my save?

Wow 26th is some going, well done!! That Chinese striker you have looks very good!

Promising stuff given you've not really got that far into this save, i.e you've not brought through a golden generation of 4-5 top youngsters etc

Good idea! Make sense now you've maxed them out.

Excellent world cup, you should definitely be pleased to get out the group. What is the NT ranking sitting at now? I've been inspired to do my own Chinese save, also managing Beijing :). Seems fairly easy to pickup some better Chinese players for reasonable money, but I got caught out not reading the rules like the max 8 signings, the u21 player in the XI etc! Finished 3rd in my first season but way off 1st & 2nd, will hope to reel them in a bit this year as I feel I've had a much better transfer window this time around. Will take over the NT when possible too. Excellent reading as always, very much enjoying this.

Cracking season at club level and not doing badly with the NT either. I hope you can get the facilities upgraded again and also try and focus on bringing in some top young prospects and giving them game time to develop them at club level, ready for the NT future Thanks Dan

LOVING this save! Made me laugh when I saw you had a £475k per week budget yet they are paying you £2k! So pleased your at a bigger club, get those facilities up to speed ASAP, and well done on the national team, excellent results so far!

Ohhh exciting! I hope you can move on, £50k a week for wages is painful!

Oh man, that's them out of contention then! Might do a rule where I restrict myself to free transfers for players outside of that country, but any paid transfers can only be within the country, i.e I'll be pumping money back into the clubs in the league and not sending it out abroad.

With Poland though I feel the NT is pretty good, they are a regular at most of the big tournos now. I was going to give Bulgaria some tv/prize money to say rival a small league (say £500k per team) so that it can grow as the leagues grow but cannot figure out how to do it, shame as I think when the prize & tv money is not there it stays that way even if they become a big league. Austria is probably the winning contender followed by Swiss. (again the Swiss NT might be a little too good). Another thought was Norway. Thanks for all the replies so far. This will be a long save so it's worth trying to get right

Can you see any light at the end of this tunnel - i.e the possibility to move the team forward with the current funds/youth players?

Time to move!

I thought Switzerland would be good but doesn't seem to have the romance factor........now I had a little look at the leagues and maybe Bulgaria? Small league (24 games), CL/EL, some okay stadiums and facilities, probably not alot of money, but some good homegrown rules too. I just wonder that if there is no TV deal and no league prize money that those things will never change even as the league rises up in rep?
