i very much like your trail of thought there, totally understand and respect your reasoning!
although a very ethical and detailed approach, are you enjoying what your doing?
it seems like a lot of work... especially with the pressure of the board, surely you could get under pressure if you don't deliver?
I could do, but Mancini didn't deliver any goods in Season 1 (January) when I took over
(7th). I didn't set the world-a-light either
(10th) and I've entered Season 2 with confidence despite knowing that I drop points easily due to a leak in the defence or goalkeeper however by finishing 10th and the Media Prediction being
5th it takes less pressure as I am aiming for Euro Cup anyway.
I do enjoy what I am doing, although it is very hard to do. I have tried it a few times before but have never been committed as it is a hard job, but I'm in Season 2 and I still don't have full control over my squad, or I don't feel anyway. I have players that are good, but why are they here again? And players over £60k wages which I will reduce.
I haven't yet delivered much since starting Season 2, Euro Cup I have taken easily, but I've dropped points to West Ham due to a leak somewhere which makes me conceed at the ends of games. I don't feel pressure, especially as I was offered a new contract in the summer which took alot of pressure off finishing 10th.
Overall it is tough, but it's a fun journey fixing your team to win things which don't come with a click of fingers and Arab's throwing money at you. I do get a high budget, however I get over most of this by reducing my Wage Budget and giving me more Transfer Budget as it makes players want less wages by about £5k. It is a good thing to do should you not get stressed too much and just "fomble" with your team to get results.
I'm not a good manager, I use the resources around me to get some of these good players but I just use knowledge and take a gamble on if they'll sign or not with the wage I am giving them along with a high Signing On Fee and Agent Fee. I also sign players and keep players I am a fan of in real life, apart from Suarez haha, but he was cheap.
