OK, I decided to go for GK training and have 9 GK assistants assigned, together with 1 field assistant. I increased training level to 100% and I put Lionel van Dongen on the transfer market.

Am I right that I should let both GK's play once per week? So 1 doing the league games and 1 for the friendlies?

Oh... what I also have is this coach (ever from the start)...

Selwyn Reijerkerk
TSI = 0 , 37 years, passable form
Has passable experience and weak leadership abilities

I have this newly bought fellow as the best suited guy to take over in 16 weeks:

Miguel Ludlow (20453171)
33 years, inadequate form, healthy
A pleasant guy who is temperamental and honest.
Has passable experience and inadequate leadership abilities.

What would be best now? I am 30K in debt but still have Lionel van Dongen to sell and am waiting for the acceptance of license challenge 15...

Shabbaman · 18-05-2006, 09:24

Is that guy a passable or inadequate coach?

Aggie · 18-05-2006, 09:30

Ehm... he's weak!

Shabbaman · 18-05-2006, 09:47

Ooooh, what a beauty! That's a huge difference. Look at it this way, if you'd want to train them 4 levels, 1 level in coaching skill is about a full level difference. That's about 500k per trainee. So you definately need a new coach, but I doubt if you'd recover the debt you'll get yourself into if you get a solid coach. Following Arne here, I'd say get yourself a passable coach.

But you have until tonight to decide, let's wait what others have to say.

Aggie · 18-05-2006, 10:06

Thanks Shabba. And yes, I'm very interested in opinions of others as well.

At this moment I'm thinking about buying a passable coach (poor leadership) for 79.6 K. Arne mentions that lower leagues in NL make less money. Would I be risking bankrupty with the 'GK gambit with solid coach' (268.7K)? Or are there other risks that I may not think of?

I just finished the challenges and have 40K, hoping to add a bit to that with the sale of Van Dongen...

Kemal · 18-05-2006, 10:08

Yes, get the passable/poor now, and I would not advise promoting your own players to become coach until you really start needing their leadership abilities, which I think will be the case when you reach the Dutch 7th division and your own midfield ratings are weak at least. Still some time ago before you fulfill both these conditions I suppose...

Of course you can promote own players to coach before that but the costs are huge for starting teams, promoting a solid exp player to solid coach costs about 750K iirc as compared to the 270K for externally recruiting a solid/poor LS coach.

That future coach player could prove his usefulness (much) later though for your team, just let him stick around and play matches to up his exp some more, but do not promote him to become your coach anytime soon, is what I'd say about it.

Shabbaman · 18-05-2006, 10:11

Simply put, you can't get a solid coach, because you can't hattrick to loan you more than 200k. So if you sell that guy you might be able to buy him, but considering that you won't be selling players until the end of the next season you'd have to pay a lot of interest.

socralynnek · 18-05-2006, 11:19

Do you have your license completed? If not, you get some money there, so then you should take the passable coach for 79K.

A weak coach is exactly that: weak, you'll have the investment returned by faster training times within a season or even less.

Aggie · 19-05-2006, 12:41

Well I managed to sell Van Dongen for 26K, which seems to be a reasonable price for him. And I bought that passable coach for 79K. As a result I will be 28K in depth ...

Kingreno · 19-05-2006, 15:22

In depth?

Do not worry about going a little into debt, just keep it managable, soon your economy will grow!
