After 7 seasons, I seem to have reached the point where player salaries and cash flow become a major issue. Until my recent purchase of a $77,000/week SG, I'd always been cash flow positive by $35,000+ per week. Now, I'm negative $20,000 and its going to get considerably worse when my players receive their yearly raise (I figure about $30,000 in additional salary will be coming next year).

Finances:
Expenses Revenue
Player Salaries: $ 277 750 Attendance: $ 187 186
Staff Salaries: $ 48 907 Merchandise: $ 27 076
Scouting: $ 0 TV Contract: $ 85 904
Total: $ 326 657 Total: $ 300 166

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Notes:
-PR manager skill level: basic. My merchandise revs have always been low due to a lack of USA players
-I have some money to upgrade my stadium, but I feel its about big enough for my fan base

Of course, increase the arena, that is killing you. Don't feel anything, new fans will come and fill up the new spaces ;)

Also I would suggest to get e better PR manager, they do play a role in attracting more fans coming to stadium. Good luck

Yeah, I would say you should be able to get another 20k from your arena. And cut salary from the bottom guys. I would say sell one of your PFs and replace him with a scrimmage fodder player ($3k salary) and hope for a deep run in the cup and you should be able to last the season with your new SG and hopefully promote. If not you will have to sell the SG and get someone you can afford a bit better.

You should get at least 210k on attendance,
Merchandise could also be 10k higher.

I have got on average 220k on attendance this season in league III, when I finally got my prices right.
Merchandise has been on average 40k with pikes to 45k.

Sell one of your more expensive players or make sure you promote.

Only in the dark, we succeed!

area size too small for Lower Tier and above, add 50% if u have the money
ticket price conservative @100%, aim @80%-90%

get a level 4 PR its only 15K, u can easily earn back from attendance

cut 2 player for 30K, and replace with 2 well rounded player for 10K
