Well I have moved from more of a purist football manager to 50/50 football/financial management of my teams (esp Lvl 19).
I don't mind this change in focus that much especially at this level you have played ~ 800 games, but I agree it changes the idea of the game.
I have not had Kynan's troubles selling players, but I am changing the team far less often at higher levels.
I suppose that the game has an inherent design flaw that means one would consider takeover in the high 20's levels for us non T buyers.
all these issues are tied in some way to the in game cash situation which just gets worse the higher you go.
That is why I give great respect to non T buyers who persist with high level teams (>Lvl 25).
