Point taken about stadium limitations but I've just invested in some more corp boxes so in around eight days iirc I will be on a stadium income of £147k per day. Combine that with my squad doing OK so far in the new season, I'm expecting to win some prize money to be able to pump more into my stadium at the start of next season. Better still, I'm not far away from being a 3.5 star team now.

I should have said that my plan for this season is to get promoted in my new division (which is EFA Div 1). Anything else is a bonus. I want to retain all the good players I have, bring more in on good deals and continuous investment in stadiums without over-stretching. I'm currently happy exactly as I am until the wage auctions.

From your article it sounds to me like if you restart in the same GW there's a lingering reputation benefit from your previous team – I don't think I've ever seen a completely new team go to 3 star that quickly. So more reason to restart rather than move.

The one area I'd disagree with your strategy would be on the wage budget. I agree it's silly for people to choose 16 £200 youths and leave it for three seasons, but it's perfectly possible to put together a good squad on 50k a day. Saving 25k a day is 700k over the course of a season – that's another 2-tier stand or a quality player to build your team around in Season 2. My fear is that you'll hit a wall in season 3 or 4 when your stadium income means you aren't making much of a daily profit but you can't improve the daily income without spending money you don't have on a new stand.

Hope for your sake I'm proved wrong though!
