fcunitedfan Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I'm in League Two currently, with a wage budget of just over 18k but a wage bill of nearly 22k. The board are saying they're not too happy about me being over my budget, and I'm not making any profit because of my wage bill. I've tried selling a couple of players, but nobody wants to buy them. I've also tried releasing a few players on free transfers, but the board blocks it because the release fee would be too high. So what can I do to get my wage bill down?

dfgrigg Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Well, if you have much of a transfer budget, you can shift some money over from to cover the wage bill. Otherwise, your only options are to sell players, or loan them out with the new club paying some of their wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo24 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Have you tried offering new contracts to older players because sometimes they will ask for less than they are given and maybe offer some of your highest earners slightly less to see if they would accept. Other than that you will need to sell players somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcunitedfan Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have no transfer budget left. Spent it all stupidly on players that wanted too much but are playing great. I've offered most of the players (young and old) reduced contracts, but they aren't accepting. I've offered players to clubs at reduced prices, but nobody wants them. I managed to sell one highly paid player, but that only took me down to the wage bill I have now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacman Jones Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 The one above or wait for the next transfer window and release some players. TBH shame on you for overspending unless you was going for a crazy promotion push (like me ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 no more advice cab be given really going forward you need to look at the wages before offering contracts, dont outspend what you can afford, sell players you dont need before buying ones you do etc, just trying to help in the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH shame on you for overspending unless you was going for a crazy promotion push (like me ) Yeah, I wanted to get out of League Two in one season, and not via the bottom. Kind of overspent. I blame everyone apart from myself! I think I'll have to keep losing money for a few more months. I have players who will be out of contract by then, and I hope to be promoted to League One and maybe have a higher wage budget to be more careful with.
