Payroll problems??

SOONERSTAR · 07-01-2003, 01:39 PM

Every year during the offseason. I have no money to sign coaches or scouts or free agents. I have tried to dump salary, but nothing frees up any money. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

How is your income?

I can't remember the actuals. I know it say I have $0 for free agents, and around 2 million for extensions.

For starters, you have to get to a payroll level that is below your income. Keep in mind that you are still responsible for the contracts of any players that you release. Once you do this, the money will start to build up for you. Just be sure you don't sign more in extensions than what you will be bringing in.

It's arbitration that eats up my money. My payroll went up 14 million after arbitration. I need to sign a scout, and have no money. Is their anyway to get money. I have traded 5 players worth about 12 million a year. Still can't sign a scout.

you can sign a coach no matter what. If you have no money then u can sign a coach for $200,000 and no more than that

Nate is right. But overall it sounds like you are spending more than you make.
