players will be in their late twenties and early thirties. Do not forget to plan for the future by giving your youth players playing time or skimming the market for the next Ronaldo.
- If you are a genuine contender for the championship or a European cup, don't put a lot of effort in the domestic cup(s). Don't tire your best players in a chase for yet another trophy, you could be left with no trophy at all at the end of the season. Play the domestic cup(s) with your reserves and younger players so that they get a chance to show their potential. This advice is not relevant when your objective is to win a domestic cup or to do a "double" or "treble".
8) Team Management (Starting small)
-----------------------------------
Starting small, here's the real challenge, get a 3rd division team in the
Premiership and then win it. Or try to win the Champions League with an Italian second division team. You start with less supporters, average (or just plain bad) players, and a real tight budget. If you want to try this, here's some tips.
- If you have players of similar quality, but one is younger, start the youth.
There is more room for progression with the young players (well, duh!) and they could carry your team for more years to come. Starting at the bottom of the ladder means long term planning is a necessity.
- There are some real bargains to be made in Eastern Europe, and later on you can either sell them with a nice profit or take them with you on your way up.
- After three to four years there are a lot of Bosman bargains. Here's a cheap way of getting some middle class players that can help you enter the Premier
League or form the basis to avoid relegation the first year at the top.
Be aware however that signing players under a Bosman ruling is like shopping with a credit card. You can buy lots of guys and you only have to pay at the end of the season. Make sure you have a surplus at the end of the year to pay for all the signing fees of your new players.
- When you reach the Premier League, you will get a lot more offers for your star players. Don't be tempted into selling the foundations of your team.
What good does a 40 million account do when you have only mediocre players left? You can sell some top players and try to replace them by home grown talent or buy some lower rated players.
- Cup competitions are a good source of extra money if you can get far or draw a big team, but they also put an extra load on your players. Sometimes it just isn't worth tiring your players in an attempt to upset for instance
Arsenal in the F.A. cup.
"Winning a domestic cup" can be an interesting objective to pursue, this is especially true when coaching in England. Almost every division has a cup competition and almost every team has a chance to win a cup. The Conference cup should be doable for every conference team. The Challenge Shield can be won by any third or second division team. First division teams should focus on the League cup or if they are really talented, try for the F.A. Cup.
