Please don't flame a first time poster as I realise PTFC are not strictly lower league but having seen the mentality of some of the posts in General Questions I hope to get some serious feedback here...

I started a game with Partick in Scottish Div 2 and got promoted via the playoffs in season 1, all the time haemorraging money left right and centre despite being well under salary budget etc. Season 2 finished a respectable 5th using a bunch of free transfers and youngsters and a couple of ex Celtic reserves to add a touch of class. At the end of the season I got rid of the non performers, went to my shortlists to find some players crazy enough to want to play for £300 p/w when suddenly a New Board arrives, wipes the slate clean and gives me £5million to spend along with a wage structure of up to 7k for a key player...I can't get my head round this...not that I'm not delighted just that my carefully crafted shorlists are shot to pieces. Should I resign and find a club that can better suit my miserly means or spend my money like a lottery winner???

It's not as if you asked for it, it's an Act of God if you like.

No reason to jack.

You can still play your game in the same miserly ways, just because you have money doesn't mean you have to spend it!

Damn. For a moment I was hoping that was RL

I wish it was real life as well...however at least I have the opportunity to do what Dick Campbell will never be able to do - splash out on some transfer fees!

NOw then - set my distinctly average scouts off to find some geniuses on the field!

Fixed for the gaffer (P.S. I'd avoid even the use of staff names in here, just to be on the safe side! )

that should be genius. Can't even copy and paste right Teach me to play poker and post at the same time

Is this in FM06? I don't think I've seen this type of event since 01/02.

I needn't have worried about my new found wealth - despite offering huge contracts to players no-one wants to play for me...the normal excuse being "unsure if a move to Scotland would be good for his career" or even worse "has no intention of moving to Partick"...
It'd be good if you could explain your vision of where you want to take a club, or maybe you can and I haven't found it yet. Then again - losing to Airdrie in the Challenge Cup might have dented my aspirations for Champions LEague football at Firhill
