Clotters

Basically,

I orchestrate my own football (soccer) management website (www.matchdaymanager.tk).

Recently, to enhance gameplay I've developed an attendance calculator, player training program, detailed finance module and a player wage system.

However, the player wage system is too rigid for me and what I want to create is an individual player contract system. One including contract lengths, player agents, and depending on other similar factors a program where players will make their demands and managers decide whether they accept the deal. I can't program and have done all of my prior programs using my basic excel knowledge. Would something like this be even doable in excel? I have a feeling it could get very fiddly and perhaps messy, if that's the case then I needn't not even try to make such a system.

Another thing I was wondering about was whether I be able to make a little program, if I studied some VB6 that would take into account the individual situations of each player and determine each week if they get unhappy enough to request a transfer.

The last thing that came across my mind is whether something could be made, and what would I need to know, that could read things from excel and take that data from an excel program and update it into the correct place in a .txt file.

Maybe I should tell you want I'd specifically want to achieve so I can be told the best way to go about it.

For each team, I'd like an excel spreadsheet with player contract details that could be downloaded from the site ... that's the easiest part.

I'd also like a program that could be run once a week to determine players who are unhappy, want to leave, would like a pay rise, want an extended contract ... and so on. Then with this information managers could respond with the action they want to take. I would assume a .exe program would be needed for this that could read the club squads and player stats and dependng on the data give me a list of the players and their issues. I don't know how I could program this .exe program and if it would be too complcated ... what are your guys' thoughts?

Finally, I'd like an independant program that allows managers to negotiate contracts with players. Where by there are negotitions back and forth until a deal is agreed, or someone loses patience and pulls out of the deal (assuming the player is interested in renewing the contract). And an AI memory so that managers can't repeatedly negotiate with the same player over and over until they get a good deal. Could this be done in excel?

I don't know an awful lot about programming so if you reply, please use basic language.

Would any of you be interested in taking any of my mini projects on yourself, you'd be credited with everything on my site, of couse?

I hope I've worder this okay. I know I've covered a few different ideas, but hopefully it will make sense to you.

Oh, lastly ... I've heard of a free non-coding program ... Linor or something, would that be of any use for this kind of thing?

All feedback is appreaciated.
