Most, but not all, of my players are now maxed out on physical stats, and most are now training in either attacking or defensive skills.

Is now the right time to be hiring attacking and defensive coaches at level 20, or should I still be looking to save up cash/expand my stadium?

I've already decided it's not worth hiring level 20 kicking coaches, but is it advisable to hire level 20 tactical coaches, in view of the crucial importance of having an effective QB?

I would go for 20 Defensive first, then Attacking, Tactical and finally Kicking

I got all of my coaches at once, 20 on everything but kicking (took a 10 on that). The hiring premiums are a little steep when you are in division 5, and I figured that with needing to train more than just physicals, that it was better in the long run to get them in one batch. I would advise against buying each coach, one at the time. Possibly going in two batches would work (physicals in the first buy then the rest in the second). If you end up paying signing bonuses each time and do multiple signings, you end up blowing a good bit of cash.

Once you have all VIP and exec seats and a decent amount of regular seats, (@ 15,000-20,000 total seats), you should be in good enough shape to afford all coaches. It is cheaper in the long run to buy all coaches you want at the same time. Remember that anytime you buy coaches, you need to re-buy what you already have if you want to keep them too (highly recommended). So, if you already have fitness and want to add everything but kicking, make sure you buy 20 fitness coaches in that hire as well. The key to keeping salaries down for a while is even training across the board instead of one skill for a long time. Find out what skills are needed for each position then train each skill up one point at a time.

As mentioned above, if you don't already have training hall, buy that first, wait for it to be finished, upgrade it fully, then buy all coaches.

Please help!

Do you have enough money for there signing bonus?
