1. who should i boot out at the start and how do i go about doing it? transfer list/offer to clubs?
Dont offer anyone it never usually works. You could sell Harper,Ramage,Ameobi,Boumsong,Pattison, Alan Obrien and butt as those players are usually quite poor in my games.
2. do i need reserve and youth players? can i sell them?
You dont NEED most of them but most of the newcastle ones wont sell for much so its worth keeping them for backup.
3. do i keep my coaches or should i replace them immediately?
Keep them but get more in, you can never have to many. Dont get rid of them it costs too much and they are quite good.
4. training, whats that all about?
dont know ive never bothered with that
5. half/full time team talks, do they actually do anything?
Yes, i dont know what, but they do.
6. same goes for making comments about opponents
No nothing really i think if affects your stats but thats it
7. how do i find new players, should i have all my scouts looking?
Screw the scouts buy whatever you can afford
8. 2m to spend to start off, freddie you tight twat
