Cheers guys. I never thought about reducing the wage budget manually to have them demand less. It appears to be working but then I also get quite a lot of players that won't even negotiate because I don't have the financial muscle. In the past 2 years in the Vanarama NL I've had countless injections from the board and a £1.3m bank loan. My wage budget is down from 70k to 22k (which I've now reduced to 13k manually). I have gone from play-offs last season to fighting relegation this season but probably a good thing to stabilise financially first.

Casual player here so apologies if it's a well known thing already. I started a save in Tier 13 of the English pyramid system. In tier 7 I was about £600k in the red and the board decided to sell my training ground for almost £5m. After this, my wage budget went from £1.9k/week to almost £70k/week, which sounds great but all of a sudden every player wants 10x or more than what they were on previously. Obviously to fill a squad I ended up paying 30-40k in wages per week and the £5m windfall soon was wiped with the board having to inject money every month as I bleed massively paying £1.5m+ in wages per year (now in the vanarama national). Players are being sold by the chairman, others are moaning about the training facilities and as my finances/wage budget decreases, so do the demands from players. Is this normal? It almost feels like I want to be broke with a £5k/week budget because the players are affordable and the cup runs mean something. Right now I'm just throwing the cups away as an extra £50k means nothing but the extra games are killing the players. Will I ever be able to stabilise this financial situation?
