A fair few of the older guys on my team have gained a skill level over a season through cross-training. Warren Stewart went from 14 to 15 in IS before I sold him. Even Connor Anderson, at 35, recently regained a previously lost level. Even at 36 next season he'll be one of the best SFs in the EBBL and justify his spot on the bench at B3 level.
When the skill falls come, they tend to be painful, but I think some of the guys who haven't managed older players would be surprised at the skill regression rate when career extension trainers are in place for all the time a player spends aged 33+ and I have a pet theory about game shape being a factor. My Utopia team has certainly taught me a lot about 35/36 year olds!
If you want to buy Hongs, make me an offer via BB Mail. He'd dominate at II level and he opens up the outside offense tactics.
I think you could get away with being Hongs manager and his NT manager as he has a unique skillset and his role at NT level, back-up SG, is fixed and clear to everyone. If you were Palit, Gazza, Esposto or Madelin's manager it would be different, as they have similar skillsets to their rivals for a spot on the team.
