Either this season or next season I think you should buy some 90 rated players,, with your current excess of money and excess of youngens you won't be able to train up to their potential, you will have enough money to buy many 90 rated players who are +27yr old,,, yes maybe their contracts won't be long term but they will have the quality and experience to improve your APR and cause alot of damage to your opponents in

Like it has been said in previous forum posts from way back,, building your stadium too fast can cause a bit of a stagnation if you don't have the players and overall club rating and club value to keep the stadium at full capacity

To echo what Kane has said - you're not filling your stadium as it is, so you'd have to reduce ticket prices quite a bit to get 100% attendance at a bigger one. With maintenance and other increased costs you might end up worse off financially than you are now. You could work this all out for yourself and see how it looks.

In your position I wouldn't rush to invest in a new stadium unless the alternative is a huge tax bill.

It's a tricky situation as you don't really need top (or even 80+) players to dominate your league, so buying some old stars is just a bit of a waste unless you're using them to push your APR up. And without your old coaches you can't really buy in some quality youth and train them up as they won't reach the potential you want them to. Of course, Firesilver will say you've made your bed

If you really don't want to come back to Serie A I suppose you might be able to put 100 odd points on your rating a season by winning enough to come fourth. Train your youths up as much as you can and do well in the cups, you can probably achieve an APR in the mid-70s which should be enough to get back to 6501.

FTR I was fifth in the top division, had an APR of 74, an ASR of 51, and a club value of 95 M when I reached 6501.

I really have, but that's ok. My plan now is to move my 6501 youth coach to coach; he is not that much worse than my old coach so that will be something. Of course, I'll have to replace him with a 5501 youth coach, but I feel like a 6501 coach is better to have than a 6501 youth coach.
How much difference will dropping down a youth coach tier make to the academy success, is an interesting question. Anyone have any anecdotal or better evidence to answer that?

I'm not sure having a lesser youth coach makes any difference to the quality of youths you can produce but it will of have a negative effect on average staff rating.

Any level of youth coach can turn out a wonder kid - or a dud. I would assume that there is some benefit from having higher levels coaches but the YA is sufficiently opaque (to me anyway) that it's hard to pin down.

My working theory is that each week every youth has a chance of improving by a random amount, and better coaches mean the chance and/or magnitude of an improvement is higher.

ye say the oviouse. loads of so called managers make me laugh. keep going it brings humour to the game. some thou

Hahaha "Notfair" with his usual blabber and mis-spelled words makes me laugh,, must of been drinking hard since Leicester are a bag of Sh*t... The only reason they won that barclays premiership then was because barclays HQ is in Leicester and barclays were bribing all the match officials and players involved

Why do you think the Thai chairman was involved in a "accidental" helicopter crash??

The reason being is because the chairman was about the release the facts of the bribes involved regarding Barclays and himself and others involved

Accidental helicopter crash my @rse

"Notfair" how many clubs have you had? And you're still languishing mid-table in the Spanish second division?? You'll need to book your ideas up fella before you can have an opinion
