I am enjoying the game but losing money like a drain...
I had this message today!
Finances in red!
Your current bank balance is -448.424,00 €. If you end the week with a balance under -500.000,00 €, your team will go bankrupt!
What can I do to save the situation? I only have 11 cyclists...I have been flogging merchandise but I am losing over 20k in interest each week!

If you search for "wheelnut" as manager, you have his team immediately. Yes, he has a sponsor. Why should he sell players and not go for races ??!!!! I would go for the opposite ! He is a beginning team, meaning he has cyclists with 3 as a skill at max. On the market these cyclists are worth a few bucks. He has to sell 50000 of these cyclists to get out of the red. I would put all my cyclists on 100% in the remaining races (fitness gets reset anyway) and hope to win some racemoney and supporters !! I don't know how you got into these debts. Looking at your team, I don't see a reason straight away ... |

Hey, I am in your division (Challenger World) I started a two weeks after you, and after a nervy tour de france (no income whilst that went on!) managed to improve. What I did was - wrote to people who have done well and asked for advice - if your polite I found most people had some info to share Don't bother with buying gear for races, I could not afford it and has not hurt me too much. BUY BUY BUY - realise that may be a prob now, but I think I only have 3 of my initial team in my current lineup - they are simply not good enough. I went for 3000-10000 cyclists with at least two 3's in their stats, they are enough to get you top 20 finishes in our league Once you have a bit of money from top 20's then try and buy some 4 or 5 stat cyclists Now have 800,000 in the bank P.S Should not be telling you this since you are in same league but I was told it so fairs fair - you can get very good money for being in points and mtns tables in tours - in Tour de Espana I got 4 cyclists in top 10 mtn points - used 100% fitness on their mtn day - meant they did badly overall, but since no chance of winning against established teams it was not an issue. Also meant I got over 100,000 in race bonus profit  |

Thanks...don't worry I now have a new account and in a different league!
I did go bust and I think it was my buying a youth scout that did it - I will not do that again..

Also went broke after hiring a youth scout last week.
This should be more protected to avoid future cases like this I think.

I would like to report my new team is doing really well and i guess i have the opposite problem...too much money...what to do with it!
i have made £50k in one week even after buying 12 additional cyclists!
I have a trainer with mountain skill 12, and i am thinking of getting a better one with 20 or train the trainer to raise his 12 towards 20.
I am alos thinking about buying better cyclists for my team...
