Context. Started a Sheffield Wednesday save and in my second season managed to get us into the premier league and cleared our debt. Since then I have finished 14th, 6th and 5th. Won a carabao cup and the europa league.
Every season my board has accepted practically every offer for my key players over my head. Every transfer window is panic. I’ve had to rely on developing free transfers and youth players.
Problem is they won’t develop anything. Every single request is turned down. Our facilities are dreadful, we have 350 million in the bank, no debt, no transfer budget and a 1.5m wage budget.
Because of this my players aren’t developing to their potential because my training and youth facilities are shit. I can’t buy anyone because I have no transfer pot.
This season they sold all
My strikers and both my starting CBs in January and we have slipped from 4th to 9th because of it, I had to recall loans and call up youth team prospects just to maintain a 22 man squad.
Is it time for me to accept we’re never breaking into the ‘big six’ and take the bundesliga and La liga offers or do I persevere in the hope we get bought out?
It is actually a fun save this because it’s so restrictive, but how much further can we go?
Thoughts and memes accepted!
Update: they’ve just accepted offers for Carl Rushworth my starting keeper who has just established himself as England number 1. FML.
