friday january 20 - 16:39 Ron - I was hoping my 50,000 seater stadium would help me close the gap but I still don't have the funds to buy the $30M+ players that the majority of the league are buying.
My focus the past 2 seasons has been on buying and strengthening U21 players, and I recently introduced 6 or 7 to the first team who I feel have what it takes to keep the team competitive. I'm also planning to sell 3 U21 players who don't quite have what it takes but should bring in around $25M in total to add to my transfer kitty.
It won't be until I upgrade the stadium again before I can really start to compete for the higher level players, so until then I expect to continue finishing 10th or 11th (although the teams currently in 2nd & 3rd in the 2nd division will prove challenging, should I finish in the playoff spot).
