All noted! High flying in 4th so seems sensible.
I'm just waiting on @BenitoSTARR to confirm or otherwise my suggested no changes.
Mad to think what you were debating in the PM and now after not actioning it your're top of the league.
Aye, hopefully he uses the budget wisely and get that 2nd spot. Think @The Cat and @BenitoSTARR have that top spot locked up!
So this is what I have so far:
| S1-2 | Bank Balance | Transfer Budget | Wage Budget | Manager | Total spent | Money left |
| Sheff Utd (BD & SS) | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | £1,631,700,000 | |
| Sunderland (Alt) | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | £1,420,860,000 | |
| Derby (TC & B) | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | £1,696,100,000 | |
| Bolton (SW) | Added 6.8m | Added 10m | 125k p/w (6.5m) | N/A | £23,300,000 | £1,880,950,000 |
Ah I'm dumb. I just found a way to list managers by CA range too. In case anyone wants that in future.
End of the season yes please - those we are allowed in range anyway.
Ok we will now sim to late April/Early May
I think I will remove the adding funds thing from there and just allow you do that when I end the season in June.

Think that makes sense, shouldn't need to unless a club goes into the red.
I checked my OP and I had already taken that out of the third pause anyway so all good.
EDIT: Also some stats for your perusal.
Winter Changes
| S1-2 | Bank Balance | Transfer Budget | Wage Budget | Manager | Total spent | Money left |

Season 1 - April 24th 2024
Ok so time to learn your (April) fates! It's 24th April 2024.
It's looking like relegation for @BD & @sebsheep, which they predicted anyway but they've done better than the real life version. Frank's job has been on the line since Christmas (despite me setting all owner/club Patience to 20 and giving them maximum contracts) but he's still the manager.
Sheffield Utd also managed to reach the QF of the FA Cup, where Fulham knocked them out. They've struggled for goals really, with only 27 in the league. Archer has scored 7, Pino 6 but after that it drops off.
The owners plan to stick with Frank even if the AI sacks him (I'll add him back to them)
Sunderland have dropped off a bit! They still have an outside chance of the Play-offs but @altodevil might be disappointed considering where they were at Christmas. They play Watford away and Sheff Wed at home in their final two games.
Sesko has scored 15 league goals for them but after that it's pretty paltry from the rest of the squad.
Congratulations to @The Cat and @BenitoSTARR who get Derby up first time of asking! Despite having no real standout player and their main signing Estevao in the Under 18s, they've cruised the league and can begin planning for the Championship next season.
Not so lucky for @SilentWitness and Bolton, who could still make the Play-offs but need a lot of results to go their way. They play Peterborough away, Portsmouth are away to Lincoln, Cambridge are away to Port Vale, Stevenage at home to Cheltenham and Carlisle play Derby away! They have the two best rated players in the league though so that's something to take away.

You can make manager changes if you wish to panic, but otherwise we sim to June.
I'm all good. Have a feeling the AI may sack him anyway!
Let Frank see it out as punishment. Hope be gets booed, and I'll be joining in with the crowd
Maybe we should've gone with Lampard?
Beale gets binned if we miss the playoffs. Terrible form, we should be way higher. Looking like we'll all be championship teams next year.
Ok we're moving on! End of season update soon.
Season 1 - End - June 2024
The first season is over!
Derby up as we know, well done to @The Cat and @BenitoSTARR.
So close for Bolton, literally missing out on the Play-offs on GD! They should be nicely positioned for next season, whether they'll have new manager is up to @SilentWitness
Everyone took a rep hit, except Derby. I will keep an eye on this and manually change it if I feel it doesn't match the clubs around you, as sometimes this is slow to change naturally in game.
I'll give you plenty of time to plan for next season. I can sim some of it tomorrow if we're ready but I'll be a bit more busy with work!
CA ranges and lists being sent to you via pm soon.

Flagging I'm going to be pretty busy tomorrow and then Mon-Wed next week. Beale getting binned tonight though.
We still get parachute payments right?
Nice one @Solius. Would you be able to give me a image of my squad with transfer value from high to low so I can see if there's anybody I'd sell.
Thanks for the work!
Thanks for the work!

Normal for short year contracts in league one. Going to be some big changes then going forward.Your whole squad is in this screenshot. Seems like you've lost a lot:

We are going to explode in 2 years all being well.
What about best eleven screen @Solius ? I'm trying to get a feel for what the deficiencies are.

For us too Solius please
