Played three friendlies with it as Newcastle.

  1. APOEL - Newcastle: 3-0
  2. Newcastle - Atletico Madrid: 0-2
  3. Newcastle - Mainz: 0-3

ZERO goals scored, EIGHT goals conceded.

I was unlucky in my first friendly as we've played better, but our third keeper (first two are injured) doesn't know how to play football, while their keeper played like a god.

At. Madrid were unsurprisingly the better team, so, we lost.

Mainz completely OBLITERATED Newcastle. We've allowed 26 shots and 16 on goal. Defending was abysmal - like in all those matches with this tactics. Central defenders constantly losing their players and opening huge gaps right in the middle of the defense.

This tactic is garbage. Deleted.

 

And it probably doesn't even matter what tactic you play with PSG, so it doesn't prove much.

I've started a new journeyman game and was employed by Ebro from Spanish Segunda Division B. I've joined in the middle of the season, the team is significantly in the red, 90% of players have their contract expiring in 6 months and the board is not giving high enough wages to renew contracts of any of them. Even free players who I try to find demand more than the board is ready to pay. If this doesn't change, and there's no reason for things to change, in 6 months I will have a team with 4 players.

How Segunda Division B teams can be managed financially? I've noticed they are always leaking money at very high pace and by the end of the first season most Segunda B teams are "Insecure".

Should I resign now? Resign after the end of the season? I don't think I'll have enough money to have even 15 players to start the next season.

I'm managing Celta B team, performing well in the league and the board was "delighted". The only major criticism that is popping up "You are spending too much time developing such and such player who has no future in the first team". This thing is starting to influence their judgement way too much and from delighted, their opinion on my work dropped to "very pleased". The only problem is that in some positions there are no other players to play, so I cannot not to "develop" that specific player. Strange that the board is simply ignoring this simple fact. I'm sure that if I hadn't been performing well, that drop in opinion could be enough to get me sacked virtually over a bug.

Anyone who managed B team have encountered this and if yes, how to deal with the issue?

I've started a new game as manager of Melilla in Spanish 2nd Division B, mostly because of the exotic location of the city
The team starts the season with 0 pounds transfer budget and 36k pounds per week wage budget when spending is around 38k.
I've managed to reduce the wage spending to fit into the required budget and hired several staff members to improve training, scouting and medical areas. However, the team is burning through cash faster than a trophy wife on a shopping spree. By the end of September I'm 400k in red. Even if I sell everyone in my team that won't pull me out of the pit even for one month. The team cannot cover even player wages which amount to 81k per month while all income the team generates is 33k per month. If this trend continues the team will go bankrupt in mid season, any way to survive this, or should I start looking for a new job?
