Money burning a hole

sufcintheprem

This is a modified caption
Might not be much by most people's standards but I have about 100K floating around in spite of signing up two recruits for my PM school.

I've had a look at coaches and for pretty much the whole lot I can get a replacement coach in who will have poor leadership but solid training skills. Not sure whether this is worth it at my level.

Attendances are nowhere near capacity yet which is a little annoying and, as someone from my league pointed out, I'm unfortunate that I've got four 'old hands' in my league else I may accelerate my development a bit quicker.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what I should spend it on.

Get him, players will pop 1 week quicker than your current coach.
 
Done.

A bit more than I expected but as with most training stuff, it should pay for itself I expect.

Certainly my training regime is looking a lot more organised than last year so hopefully it will be another year of consolidation and hopefully making a bit of ground on the leaders.

Went for the solid coach HKB.

Looking at how some prices were going last night, I think I'm happier trying to forge my way as a seller at the moment rather than a buyer! He does look pretty handy.

Admittedly, though, I did have a passable one before but I still feel happy with the choice.
 
My two went for about £170,000 and £33,000 each, which has got to be a result.

Not sure whether the winger raised a bit more following the changes to wing attacks and the creation of a new position of foward towards wing.
 
The money that was burning a hole in my pocket is now gone, I bought this player
