Hopefully we can spend some of the winnings on getting a proper tele deal, so the pubs don't have to watch the CLF via a shoddy Spanish broadcast rerouted through an Arabic internet streamer. Many Welsh TVs were beaten beyond their warranty when the vid hanged. EDIT: But seriously, thanks for streaming the game HD, for all the pauses and hangups the stream had, it was still watchable and enjoyable.

Losing only five games across all competitions over an entire season? Nothing to it. Having a player smash the Premier League scoring record with 44 league goals? Easy. Making it to the final of the League Cup once in my entire career? Woah now, that's going a bit too far! Better just get smoked by a midtable team in the quarterfinals instead.

How hard or at least how long does it take to be financially stable? Of course I might be an idiot and they might be financially ok.

I honestly don't know, because I'm a dirty cheater and gave myself a sugar daddy to make the climb through the divisions easier.  I don't think the debt situation is that bad at the beginning, though.

An American coach leads a Welsh team to, not only, the English Premier League title, but to the Champion's League as well. If that were to ever happen in reality, how many pundits' heads would actually explode?

Honestly the least likely part of that scenario is the American coach. Right now Swansea aren't far from where Man City were before they got bought up and catapulted into megabastard-dom, and if Cardiff had been bought up by an actual sane person they might well have been on the way now.

Kovacevic did make some important saves, and the goal by Grigorio was as much Todd's fault for being lazy and inattentive as it was Kovacevic's. There's an absolutely insane keeper at AS Monaco that I want, but that we can't afford:

Dude wants a 215k a week contract, we can't afford that yet. Our upper limit is 115k, though I could probably get near 200k if I shifted our entire transfer budget into our wage budget.

I think the highest paid real life players right now are Messi and Ronaldo, both getting around $40 million in salary (based on some quick Googling). Anyone in game that compares?

In my game, one of my scouts (for reasons known only to himself) decided to inform me that PSG's first-choice keeper would be available if I bid in the region of £95m. His wages, in case I was interested, would be around £230k p/w.

The five highest paid players: Ezequiel Bressan, Real Madrid Left Back, 245k/wk Shaun Davies, Real Madrid Left Wing, 220k/wk Rodrigo Jiminez, Bayern Munich Central Midfielder, 205k/wk Cristian Reartes, Real Madrid Central Midfielder, 200k/wk Silvio Serrano, Tottenham Hotspur Striker, 195k/wk Bressan, Jiminez, and Reartes are all worth their salaries. Davies used to be, but he's old and bad now. I have no clue wtf Tottenham is doing paying 12% of their wage budget to a mediocre striker. Jiminez is the guy I really want, he's 25 and probably the best central midfielder in the game.  Munin posted:I don't think it would be a wise use of funds and I don't think we should utterly break the game for our whims either. Yeah. That's my reaction. He's great, but he's way out of our budget. I'm allowed to pay players 185k/wk if I shift all the transfer funds I'm allowed into our wage budget.
