Dman2pt, now you are scaring me.
I don't that kind of financial resources. 3m at the end of season 2, each, is not close at all. Not even 1.5m each. My squad is at 9.5m for 22 players. Even with decent cup runs income would be about 4m. I would expect higher income at L3 ( 5 to 6m ???)

"Bet in the cup..." as in a wager? With who and how?
