The age of a player determines training speed. They slow down a lot around 23 years old. This is a very common age to sell players because they won't experience skill drops until about 30 so you have 7 seasons with that players skills.
As for fan familiarity, selling players frequently will cause this to drop. It takes a full season with the same players and regular starters to get this back up. Go to your Roster and look at the Role of your players. The more frequently you start or sub a player the higher their role will go. I have 5 players that I start the first 2 games and the rest get their minutes balanced in the scrimmage. The most important players get Key Player role, then Regular starters, rotation, and backup. Try to get a player to Key status.

Unfortunately my key player is 37 and losing skills fast. So next season or the season after I will probably sell him

I've seen guys continue to get pops up to age 32-33, but it definitely slows down after 28. Depending on trainer type, if you use a career longevity guy, you can slow the skill drops for a year. Yep, after 35, skills can start dropping.

I finally bought an Exceptional trainer and his salary was only an additional $10k from my last one. Plus I scored him for only $19k.
My trainees have been getting a minimum of 1 pop per week since I started training. I wanted more than what they are getting but I can't be picky. I'm sure they are getting more than the average trainers in league IV anyway.

I picked up an advanced PR manager with crowd involvement specialty with $15K salary. That should hopefully boost attendance and gate receipts, and see more games around 20K!

Trainer is next, but I need to find the time to actually be able to sit and watch the market for the best opportunity.

My doctor is my only staff with a specialty. He has Taping Injuries so I have very few injuries and the few I get are shortened.

My rookie Weller is as advertised:

6 GP, 9.0 Rating (best on team), 44.4 MPG, 20.0 PPG, 14.0 RPG, 5.7 APG, 1.5 BLK, 1.2 STL, 0.7 TO

Can't wait to boost his ID and rebounding just a little bit more!

Question, should I raise the prices of my arena if I've had around 80-90% attendance in my last few home games?

I think you probably could, but I wouldn't increase your courtside or luxury boxes. I think your change to $20 for lower tier is good. Bleachers, maybe go to $7-8...not too big an increase but should give you a receipts boost.
