Yes, of course. I miss Priyo...

Shocking to hear that Priyo passed away. If I'm not wrong, he was the manager of Royal Kolkata FC.

Yes

If I win a match by default, do my players still get training for that match??

Yes, they do

What's the benefit of a transfer advertisement? Does it have any impact on bidding?

You can advertise that you want to sell someone without putting them up for sale.
Or I make the advertisement saying I will put up the player for sale at a certain time. That gives people time to raise the cash.

I've just sacked some brilliant coaches, check them out on the TL you should get them quite cheap. There are some magical coaches available too.
Although I don't know if you can afford their wages

I can't afford them right now as their wages are too high. I'm looking to buy new coaches in the next season once my sponsors money increases to maybe greater than 4 500 000 Rs. Right now it is 3 600 000 Rs. If I hadn't opened junior school, I might've bought them.

Junior school is most important in long term. Cash will show up quite quickly, when you advance to higher leaugues and from juniors transfers. You can buy better coaches then.

I think expanding your arena is more nescessary at the moment.

Two seasons of patience and club upgrading is your main goal for now:)

For stadium upgrading I would say build seats under a roof all around as and when you can afford it.
Also only build when your stadium is consistently houseful.

Yep, roof is best option, but expensive at early stages.

I'm cool with KautukP's stadium attendance. Fan's spirit will go up and up since he should win every match against bots and "dead" clubs.

So I reccomend building seats without a roof for now and adding roof later. Build seats behind long lines first, let's say to 5k seats and behind nets next. Leave corner seats untouched for further expansion. It is better to have cash from tickets even if seats have no roof than waiting for cash from other sources to build a roof at all costs.

Second important thing is a cash from tickets.
Adjust prices to level where fans will give up from buying tickets and you have no full capacity filled. Lower the prices slightly then and you should have full stadium every match.

Do high ticket prices affect the mood of the fans??

Yes stadium building is done in stages. Roof comes later. What I meant was that should be your aim.

Do high ticket prices affect the mood of the fans??

No. Fans mood is affected only by your wins or loses. Depending of mood, fans will buy more tickets or less tickets. The higher mood is, and stadium capacity is full, fans are more eager to pay more for tickets.

So I have been playing matches with a full house every week. Fan mood has also been highest for a long time.
Just to experiment, I increased the price of 3 stands, 1 along the length, 1 behind goal and 1 in the corner.
The match was against the no.2 team in the league.
The result was that number of fans reduced. Except for 2 corner stands, all stands had less fans. Instead of 65,000 spectators, I had 64,384 spectators.
On the plus side I made 2 million Rupees more than I earlier.
Next week I will increase prices across all stands and see the result.
