How to keep "Squad Harmony" high:
* Squad size - Run a first time squad no bigger than 29 players (maybe 30?).
* Make sure every of your players get playing time.
If not:
* Player status - Set players' status fittingly. Don't have too many key players, etc. If players hardly get to play...
Weird. I'm coaching Brazil and have 2 players ineligible for a qualification game.
Both players are 15 and on youth contracts.
They're probably too young for an official qualifier,
because I've had a 14 year old player make his debut before, but that was in a friendly.
EDIT: They are too...
Loan payments are under a seperate title: "Loan repayments and interest" and yes
that is 220.000 a month cause the management took out a 30m loan to build the 40m stadium. I could live with that IF the new stadium (18.000) was more profitable than the old one (1017 seats). And because of the...
We (Bath City) went from a 8000 but 1000 seater stadium in EPL with average sold out attendance of 1017 per match to a 18.000 all seater with average attendance of about 14.000.
You'd say the new stadium would give the club more income, but this is just killing the club.
Last season we ran...
Same problem: Bath City in EPL, the non footballing costs are 15 million a year. Ridiculous. Are we giving away free lines of cocaine in the sky boxes?
PS My sponsorship deal is still 40k a season for the next 2 years...

Mmm, it says there's no player restrictions...
I qaulified Bath City for the EURO league,
but I totally forgot to check the EURO rules:
4 players trained at club, and 8 home grown.
I've got 6 home grown, but I let all my (4) youth players go at the beginning of the season because City does not have a youth academy, and very poor...
Average ticket price is 44 euro.
But I'm pretty sure none are available on match days... :p
7th overall of English football on ticket prices, Man Utd, Middlesbrough, Villa, Baty City at 44 Euro.
Correction on the price of an average season ticket: 731 euro, which puts Bath City in 9th...
But it's a collector's item!
Besides the club could really use the money (season ticket average price is 720 euro). Maybe there's some form of fan-roulation... you get to attend 1 of every 3 matches.
No. Because there's no space to expand the stadium the city council won't allow.
The new stadium is build in a new location.
And besides, why would cup matches and friendlies still draw large crowds?
Well, I was looking at the attendance again and it struck me it's 1017 every game.
I thought...
I've been managing Bath City.
Took them from Blue Square South to Premier League with five consecutive promotions.
Last season in Coca Cola Championship my average attendace was 8000+ on a 8840 stadium with about every of the last 20 games sold out (8840 att.).
City has sold a record 2850...
lack of harmony
ok so I've read the above and I don't see a real solution to my problem.
I'm managing Bath City from day 1.
First season champs of Blue Square South.
Second season champs of Blue Square Premier.
Third season Coca Cola League 2:
it's going very well, City is at 3rd position...
