I did more than just pass the first week, I've build and EMPIRE!... After I had a good source of income I've created a few "labs" that looked identical to my main team, and I would hire/fire people until I found good fits for the team. Now my dream alone can make enough bread for the next 10 goals all by themselves. Thouroughly enjoyed the game, for me this should be one of the winners.
I can definitely see this game evolve to some kind of an semi-idle strategy game.
