In last 3 seasons, my team salary was above 250m. I set the all the staffs on level 5, as well as the youth team and fan club which would add up the running cost for 70m per season. I managed to survive each season by at least selling 2 players each year. I'm gonna sell my reserve players such as Gourcuff, Higuain, or maybe Torres (though I'm kinda reluctant to sell a spanish player) at the end of my 8th season. I'm building younger and cheaper team to run. So far I've bought a few reborn players such as Makelele, Javier Zanetti, Beckham, Raul.
