I am hoping to get another good trainee with the up and coming draft. I would like to promote to D.III but I dont see my team being ready to compete on that level and would prob drop back down or not make a good run at all. I would rather sit in IV if i have too a couple of season to build a team that when promoted to D. III will be ready and not ran all over.

Tangosz when you say rotating training do you mean every week do something different like rotate between OS, Passing, Pressure.

And selling the trainee I mean i see the benefits from it and i could make some good cash but idk I kinda grew attached to Ol Bruno these few weeks

yeah, one week pressure, one week passing, one week outside shooting.

Rinse. Repeat.

From your earlier post I wasn't clear if you were gonna do 4 straight weeks of each, and then move onto the next.

Promoting a league when you know you'll drop back down may or may not be a good thing. With promotion you get a cash bonus, a season ticket holder boost, and a bonus to attendance for most of your first season. Plus the ticket demand is already better, and TV contracts are bigger. All good things.

But with relegation you'll have a prolonged penalty to attendance. And I believe that the loss of season ticket holders upon relegation is greater than the increase after promotion, so you're left with a net loss.

In all honestly, D4 is a good place to start training up your guys, you'll get more moeny than if you were in D5, but still have a good chance to stay in the league, compared to D3. It's also a lot easier to train your guys in non-ideal positions in D4.

I get what your saying looks like i have some decisions to make with this new season

Like rocket said, definitely sign up at the USA offsite. First, it's just a good group of folks who help all levels of managers. There will be lots of help there in creating a training plan that works. Plus there are team diaries so you can see how other teams have approached training. Very helpful!
