Friendlies at bigger stadiums can get you ticket revenue. Your sponsers of course, and if you sold a couple of pretty good players you could get money there too. If you have high salary players you inherited that aren't all that great cut them. You will be fine for the most part because A) you are able to be in the red up to 400k I believe and B) the season is almost over so you wouldn't lose many games at all, maybe one. You will also get some money from the end of the season awards based on your placement. Check out the FAQ's for specifics.

If you want to push through the financial difficulties, heres how:

1. schedule friendlies (depending on the stadium size, you can make some major cash for a game that doesnt count for anything. You may have to spam a bunch of people with challeneges, but its worth it)

2. set your sponsers after EVERY match (thats like $12k per league game and for friendlies)

3. cut players until you have less than 35. 30 would be the bare minimum to cover all positions (including kicker and special teams) but injuries can happen. If you do cut payroll, be sure to train on a lower intensity to reduce risk of injuries.

4. Build your stadium. Instead of building each side equally, start building on the side that has the least number of seats so that you get revenue while you build.

5. stick it out till the end of the season. Even if you didn't make it that far in the cup, or you don't win your division, you do get some good cash at the end of the season for where you did place. refer to end of season in the faq's (I suggest spending this cash on stadium improvements)

hope this helps

I just went through something like this. I was going to quit and finally just decided to hang in there. My team is holding it's own for the division and my finances are back in the black.

All the advice given so far is spot on, except I would be in any hurry to sell off any good players unless you have others for the spots. I'm sure you'll weather this no problem

Stop buying players. You already have loads on your roster and according to your transfer list there was a load more bought today.

Trim it down to 30-35 guys. Read the "Read me first" sticky and it will help you organise what you have left into a reasonable squad for th rest of the season and the beginning of next.

As long as there is 2 or 3 bot teams in your league then you're virtually guaranteed not to get relegated.

He will not relegate 'cos he is in lowest league at the moment and there are many bots to fill level 5 before we go to level 6 in NA region.

But it is nice to see 4 construction cranes.
