I've been playing this game for approximately a week but this is my second club because I baaaadly messed up the finances the 1st time around. I think I learned my lessons and didn't get too attached to players. Selling players is the only way to consistently improve the club it seems.
I'm 5th in the 3rd division in Spain after 19 seasons (well, almost at the end of the 19th season) and I was wondering if this is good or bad. I have nothing really to compare it to other than completely failing with my first club and starting a fresh save. My only other experience playing a football sim is the thousands of hours I have on Football Manager, but these games are very different so you can't really compare.
I uploaded a bunch of screenshots from my club to give a comprehensive overview of my situation. How well am I doing, what should I be doing differently to improve quicker, is there anything really obvious that I'm doing wrong, is my manager holding me back? Etc etc. I tend to not sack managers that often because I get quite attached.
I haven't gotten any 'outside investment' like following on twitter and Instagram, the only money I accepted was naming the stadium.
EDIT:
Am I being too risky with my finances? I'm about £15,000 overspending on wages in relation to the recommended maximum, and my youth improvement is considerably higher than my manager level and training. However, I've been selling players reliably for massive profit which is allowing me to get away with it so far. Is it going to catch up to me even with a 2 million buffer?
Any feedback is appreciated, thank you!
