So, I know I'm a bit late getting to FM 2013 but oh well. I started as a sunday leaguer, as an unemployed manager, and signed with 1860 Munchen in d2 in Germany. Despite only having mid table aspirations at the start of the season, i've been quite successful, working my way up into 3rd in the league, so tactically, I think i'm ok.
The problem I'm having is financially. Prior to the holiday break, ALL of my payroll numbers were over the board allowed limits: probably to the tune of about double. I think my Key Player budget was something like 8K dollars, and i was spending over 17K on one player.
The problem was from new contracts of players already on the team. Every time a contract negotiation came up, the agent would be trying to double the players current salary, and wasn't budging. I solved the short term problem by promising the board title contention, which I think i can do, And I'm sure promotion is going to add more funds, but it's obviously not a long term solution if almost everyone is going to want double their money every few years.
