At Least I'm sure he'll be a player on a rise, and my best keeper was rated 78 and aged 30.

Squad cap is fine also as it is. There is an even spread there, and it has worked very well. Players will crop up and come up good out of nowhere, you just got to be quick or ahead of the curve. That is what scouting is.
@LitterBug I also had a bid accepted for Raul Jimenez, he seems likely to be one of my better signings.
We need to have a separate limit for those over 55/60,000 i.e. Arsenal and Man Utd. Other than that, its fine.
I think if that was to happen then it should only be a cap of like 2 players rather than the standard 5.
Two words: feck off.
Dont think 2 players is enough given the stadium advantage, the financial advantage those two have on squad cap 45 clubs is the same/or even more in some cases then squad cap 45 have on squad cap 50 clubs. We lessened the cap by five for every 10k. Think this should be the same but will leave it to the majority to decide.
Rubbish. The reason why I had so much money was because of the number of players I sold over time. MJJ feel free to post your financial page for the season bit only. Bet it won't be that different to mine (with prize money excluded along with transfer money in/out).
Problem is that dropping it anymore would reduce their scouting/transfers which is the most fun part of the game.
Your average attendance is twice what mine is, (Go to Div 1-> Attendances). Thats a rather significant impact.
I have to pay more in ground maintenance. Post your stats.
Actually, Newcastle would probably be the better comparison as they finished top four last season and are doing similarly well this season. @Mr Anderson could you post your financial stats for the season please?
No probs
Can't really post all stats right now as I'm on the move, but season income is 13.3mill and season expenditure is 9mill. Excluding prize money and transfers of course.

Though I suppose I got money for the Super Cup final and stuff too. Not sure how much though
Wouldnt that go into the prize money bit? My fans are cnuts, rarely come to support the team. Make around 400k on home games and lose 300k on away games normally.
Anyways, your income is three times newcastle's(they have the fourth highest attendance) income and six time's mine.
Six times? What?
How do you find last seasons financies?
Don't think you can.
Oh so those finances are this season?
My net= 1,534,688
Your net= 11,954,677
Is closer to 8 times than 6 times actually.
Yup.
Ah okay, didn't know you were on about net. Thought you were referring to just the incomes.

My net is about -500k...
Too many players. Need to sell...
I've come around to the same conclusion unfortunately.
My income from ground size is nowhere close to Damos.
Income:
Season ticket: 2.7 mil
Gate Receipts: 4.9 mil
Expense:
Ground Maintenance: 1.5mil
So its 6.2mil net income over the course of the season.
By comparison, Damo is at 11mil while RS is at 3mil.
Going by MJJs net income. Its 2mil for him overall, 1.16mil for RS and its 3mil for me excluding transfers.
In short, I am not going to do any further squad reductions.

It depends on how many matches you play though Varun. As it's a bit harsh to punish clubs who are winning lots. More matches = more income.
Either way its a miracle how well I've done given how awful my finances are.

I make losses of around 0.5M on away games and profit of 0.4M on home approx. The weekly structure doesn't include season ticket receipts which is one time so if say it is 0.1M loss home-away for one set excluding season ticket receipts, then x19 = loss of 1.9 M over season. Season ticket receipts one time are 1.7M. So over the course of season, I will be in loss of 0.2M.
Cheers just updating the manager list.
Agreed, The simple thing to do would have been to give everyone 5 from the get go we in the 40k group have been lumped in with the biggest club stadium in the league which is 36k bigger than the bridge how is that fair and giving us 2 extra would be ridiculous.
Yup, really need to have a vote on this, while keeping it fair for Damien and Varun. Either decrease their capacity or maybe increase the lower groups capacity.
Its not just ground size, damien's merchandise, sponsorship, tv revenue are all greater than mine(in some cases doubled, tripled). Its probably the same for you as well.
It helps that Damien's team is in the Champions League
