Pre-season 2 - updates

We just had a fairly successful pre-season. I tried to get as many home games as I could to try to generate some cash as well as give everyone a chance to prove their worth in the team. Perhaps the highlight of our preseason was the victory of our home cup over Nairn County and Bromley.



We also made a few changes to the team, by adding some new coaches. I've been doing some reading on LLM and I believe this is something that was severely lacking in season one, so I hired whatever I could afford just to keep the team better trained.





In terms of players, I only had one new player comming in. I believe he was a real find. He was a Walsall youth dropout that came in for free and I firmly believe will be a significant addition to our squad. In terms of players leaving the team, I felt that we needed to eliminate our extra weight we didn't need so after their end of contract, I let go of Mark Dudley, Jermaine Johnson, Naill Maguire, Ollie Parker and Joe Rogers. I was also able to sell Tom Moss for free to Northwich. Our budget now looks actually quite good, as our salaries are totaling 24,689 p/ month and we're allowed 27,499. Not too bad, I'm hoping to bring that down even more if possible.
