Might not be around much longer? These 2 league games away in a row will probably BOT me.
Barring selling the farm and whats left of the team...
Well let's get that sale going and please don't take this as an advertisement. It's more on the lines of advice, as I have not the money to bid anyway

That 98k seater stadium probably isn't helping! Maybe worth just doing a big rebuild; sell up the stadium, sell your players to a certain level and have a year or two rebuilding everything to a certain level. Or if you fancy the challenge, why not start again from the bottom?

I know this has been discussed from time to time but I think if you are wanting to continue in grid iron you are probably better off selling off all your most expensive players maybe selling off your stadium and starting over. This would seem to be better because you probably have some young cheap guys to develop that are high talents and you can probably start competing in a season or two when you are at worst in div. IV. It would seem like a quicker restart to me.
Damn, would be sad to see you go Celt. I'd recommend selling what you need in order to survive. I don't know whether you have doctors/coaches or any training hall/youth academy, but I would get rid of these first to try raise some revenue and then sell your highest earners. Selling your stadium should come into consideration also.
If you still have the interest in the game, then do as much as you can to keep your team. If not, then now is probably the right time to bow out and sure you can always start again.
Hopefully we don't lose you Celt, you provided alot of players for the NT over the years and you've probably been Ireland's most successful side.

3500 x 175 = $612,500
9000 x 100 = $900,000
85,500 x 62.50 = $5,343,750
You can then re-build your stadium up to 13,500 (full VIP & Execs and 1000 std)
3500 x 700 = $2,450,000
9000 x 400 = $3,600,00
This will leave you with $806,250 to help towards wages.
If you do this today your new 13,500 stadium will be ready for your next home game on the 22.11.14. Plus you'll save $231,500 (your current stadium maintenance cost) on each of the next two financial updates.
Personally, I think about 80,000 is the maximum stadium size any TD/II club should have due to the attendance modifiers. A bigger stadium than this should only be considered if a club is regularly in the AFLC.
You can then also look at firing/selling players, as well as firing staff and/or demolishing facilities to reduce your weekly expenses.

Would be really good to see you stave off botdom, rebuilding cold be very exciting. Starting again with a decent core of players and avoiding any mistakes made previously could lead to a very tough team to play against. Give it a go.
+1 to the posts above. Stay if you can, you would be a great loss to the game.
