IMO you are doing well right. Losing £5000 every week is normal. Your coaches also seem alright. I don´t know their wages, but they can´t be that high.

You don´t have too many coaches. Assistants speed up your training. As I see you have 2 assistants, maximum is 3.

I think now is the good time to make your decision about training plans for future. As I see you have nice some young players (Jacob Marr seems very nice). I suggest buying few more trainees 16-18y.

Do you think you could list the skills of your coaches?

I'm not sure you need to keep the poor one, but your youth coach is fine for a beginner.

This "poor" one is his head coach, which as he said has a high stamina skill. Other skills are low. This is the reason of low overall skill.

Ah yes, my bad.

(should read the question really)

;o)

ok, i ll carry on doing the same for just a bit longer but whats my next move, getting a few more trainees and a better head coach, but whats the best thing to train for profit?

Arguably striker. There are many ways to go from the start.

A popular choice is train stamina for at least a few weeks as this will get the most out of all your players (which you are doing anyway) and to then move on to pace. Get rid of your old, but perhaps keep a couple of oldies if they are your best players, and buy in as young as you can, ideally between 16-19 with a squad of 22 and train pace.

Pace will train all of your players, and you should play two different sets of 11 players to maximise this.

This will give you a good idea of who are your more talented players, and gives you the opportunity to sell your untalented buys.

To summarise, my advice after stamina training would be to ditch him and look for a head coach with unearthly in pace and as low in all the other skills as possible. You should be able to pick one of these up for £3.5k a week, which is probably all you will be able to afford at this early stage.

Good luck! ;o)

cheers m8 one more thing,
havent a clue about youth training i dont understand what all the weeks trained and stuff is about?

Training juniors:
Junior Skill level Weeks

Stephen Scale average 8 Reject
Christian Willetts average 16 Reject
Leon Loverock good 20 Reject

In that case, you probably have no idea of their talent as you don't have Plus.

Some of them might be talented, but if you really want to get out of the mire, set your places to zero, and sack your youth coach.

It will save you a bundle.

Remember to apply for a friendly every week. While rotating your team to second squad to maximise training. Friendly loses don't effect the team but injuies incurred through such matches can ruin you. Good luck

Since you don't have Plus I think it would be a good idea to right down the current information on youth screen on paper (with the days date every Thursday night) and if say Leon Loverock good 20 changes to Leon Loverock Solid 15 and then Leon Loverock Very Good 10. You may just be able to get a Formidable youth on promotion to senior side ie Leon Loverock Formidable 0. Plus (in this area) gives you a graph that just does just this but without you needing to write the info down.

There are 3rd party programs such as Apollo, Sokker Organiser, Sokker Manager and Sokker Viewer that can do this for you. Although Plus means you are supporting the game.

Friendly loses don't effect the team

Not true. They affect stuff like supporter mood, but to a lesser extent than league and cup matches.
