B It's probably the best way to really show off LLM. A is too easy, and C is too likely to get you replaced by a new manager.

To be fair, the World Cup is just really wonky, even with real players. Last time I played, Theo Robinson of Jamaica was the Golden boot winner, and Jamaica only went out in the Semis to Spain.

1) Maintain the current wage budget and transfer budget (32k/wk and 15.5k). I don't see any reason to increase either the wage budget or the transfer budget at this time.

Goddamnit guys. What kind of board are we? Giving money to a new coach for some stupid reason like "all our good players aren't actually ours". How are we supposed to line our pockets when we blow all our money on stupid poo poo like this? Get it together lads.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:He's not having a great season, but he's doing OK. Not sure if I agree with that. Wrexham had the second highest wages early this season. While none of us were realistically expecting promotion, it's pretty safe to say that we've underperformed this season. Even with the wages we've gotten off our bill, we're not spending like the 19th best team in the league.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:If he's average or better, the 2 year deal at 950 a week is a steal. We lock in a manager at a 10% discount to market! That's good value for a small club - trying to lock him up at 20% below market is just saying 'please leave our club and take the Welsh coaching job' If he's below average, we should fire him at get someone better - we have a good wage budget and can afford a better manager. Honestly, if I was running the club, I'd have probably fired him already, but because he did win promotion last year, I'd be willing to give him one more year; assuming of course that he doesn't get the club relegated. But, to be fair, I'm trying really hard to stay in character as someone just here to embezzle money.

You are certainly able to do both jobs at once. Now, I doubt your coaching Reputation is anywhere near what you'd actually need to get the job, so you're probably going to get laughed off. Cthulhu Dreams posted:And does the scouting translate back? You do get some knowledge of the players, but again, I really doubt his reputation is going to be high enough to get anything higher than a U17/U21 kind of job. Not to mention it's harder to get a national team position when you aren't of that nationality.

Now, there's no guarantee that he'll want that job, or even that he'll want to stay in football, but if you badger him enough, you can usually get him signed as a staff member. No guarantees that he's even halfway decent though.

habeasdorkus posted:I think I figured out who he is. Adrian Vranic is probably our Mateo Mujkic. He's been around since the start of the game and was at a little soccer academy in Australia when my coach recommended him to me. In real life he was at a little soccer academy in Australia because the Australian pro teams wouldn't know talent from a hole in their head, and he was snapped up by Dinamo Zagreb. That explains why he had such great stats at such a young age, he was a wonderkid that was blessed by the RNG when the game was created. Well, it can't be Vranic, because he isn't in FM14. At all. There isn't a Vranic younger than 23. Did he start at a club other than AIS? There doesn't seem to be anyone who even remotely fits the profile starting there in the database. Hell, no one at AIS has a potential other than 0, which is totally random, anyways. It looks like you just managed to get really, really lucky with a regen. Congrats.

steinrokkan posted:How important are fans in keeping a club alive in higher leagues? I men, Wrexham comes from a small town so will the small pool of fans have any tangible influence on what we'll be able to pull off in the Premier League, or is it already affecting us now? I imagine ticket sales should be getting increasingly marginal in the budget, as well as merchandise sales? Eh. We're probably never going to be Man City / Chelsea rich, but the real money comes from the Premier League TV deal and Champions league money. Everything else is nice, but not as important.

Goddamn. I thought just surviving in the championship would be a good season, and you've managed promotion. I know that normally I play the role of "No money for you" guy, but after that performance, you have to get something. 1: C Better to go into the red our first season in the Premier League and stay up, than stay in the black and go down. You get your money. 2: B We have no real shot at getting the best young kids, the ones who are going to qualify for work permits, so a way to get that second tier of kids European citizenship is incredibly useful. Hell, if we're really lucky, we might manage to get a Belgian or Croatian team that plays in Europe anyways. 3: A I think an improvement would be nice, but with the budget I've voted for, I doubt the club has the money for both. If we stay up, maybe next year. 4: B Go check out the other leagues in South America. Sure, the best kids come from Brazil and Argentina, but you can find some good young players for cheap, if you're willing to look hard enough.

KKKLIP ART posted:What are the residency issues that we would need to overcome if we found a South American or Caribbean wonder-kid that we would need to know about so we can decide if it is worth it at this stage to invest in more scouting powers? The simple answer is to use a player who doesn't have a European passport, you need to get him a work permit. To get a work permit, the player either has to be absurdly good, or have played in 75% of his nations international appearances in the last 2 years, for a nation ranked in the top 70, and I think they also have to be a starter for the club team you're purchasing them from. So it isn't all that easy, especially when you're trying to get players from Argentina or Brazil, where some really good players can get totally shut out of the national team. However, if you have a work permit feeder club, you can sign a player who won't get a work permit, and then loan them to a club, usually either in Croatia or Belgium, for a couple years so they can gain European citizenship.

3 You get the 3 year contract at £50k/wk, 20% yearly raise, but neither of the other two escalators. You've certainly done well, you don't really have as much leverage as you seem to think you have. One year in 7th place in the Premier league isn't enough to get you to a megabastard club, which are really the only improvements over Wrexham you could get in England.

CAAAB You get your transfer money and your shack, but the academy and recruitment network are pretty irrelevant at this point, the cost isn't worth the expense at the moment. Wrexham's like 3 youth upgrades away from actually getting kids who can realistically someday play at a premier league level, just invest it instead in foreigners.

See if they accept 25 million, something like 15% of next sale, any other add ons you can think of, and a friendly. If the big boys are coming in for him (And since one is, that means the others aren't far behind) then we don't have a great chance at holding on to him. Hell, the fact that we've kept him this long is pretty amazing. And, at Barcelona, at least we don't have to play him twice a year.
