Sorry

I doubt anyone has put the entire squad on the transfer list, so we can't give an accurate answer even if we wanted to, which we don't as it would be tipping. But as Stan said, your players probably won't be dancing with joy if you put the lot on the transferlist.

If Jordi quits then the headline will be like something out of "Highlander".

"Imortal Boss falls on Sword"

I really don’t know how you can say that when you decide whose contracts to renew and how much to pay them, you decide who to sign and who to sell.
It is totally within your control as manager to financially cripple a club or to get them running in profit. </BLOCKQUOTE>

The board give you a budget for wages, and it's up to you how you operate within that. Sometimes you can go beyond that budget, sometimes the board will stop you breaking the budget. But how deep into the red the club is - that's not your concern. It's not up to you to sell players to reduce the debt. The board may insist upon it, but until they do - do your job (which is to manage the squad). </BLOCKQUOTE>

That's where your choice comes into it. I've been at many clubs (as has everyone I'm sure) where you start off with a squad that is well below the rather extravagant wage budget set by the board and yet the club are still running a loss every month.

Where I differ from you is that I like to try and at least control those aspects of finances that I can and not just fill up to the board's wage budget just because it is there. I take a pride in attempting to run some clubs on as low a wage budget as I possibly can. I haven't played FM 2006 yet so I don't know what that is like - in previous versions the board seem to do precious little if you go over budget anyway.

Of course, at most LLM clubs, esp in countries like Norway, Other expenses is usually vastly more than your monthly income just by itself so whatever you wage budget it's just window dressing!

I don't plan on it, but could definitely happen.

People seem to confuse operating within your budget, with making a profit. They can be two different things, both within and external to FM. Any football fan has seen that especially recently.

Ziganda - probably more of a GQ question, I would have thought. And I think you'd be better set not criticising the LLM methods in the LLM forum - you're the one breaking the forum rules, not the regulars.

Never quit, go out in a blaze of <STRIKE>glory</STRIKE>failure

No blaze needed there Hogie.

Portuguese Division 2 is going to be a hard test of character for Imortal.

retired_mrsjb

Make your mind up, Hogie. It was you that told him to quit in the first place

retired_tye1234

Well then he should quit , or stay or if he quits quitting then he has to stay right! But it’s his game he has to decide whether he quits quitting, stays quitting or quits staying … oh my head hurst * going for a lie down*
