I'm making about 30k a week now (not including bonuses) and making very little value on training. I could easily sell of all of my players and tank for a the next 2-3 seasons and end up in D.III while doing some great training that's not possible while trying to compete. It would be easy to profit 200-300k per week minimum going this route, netting millions every season. With that bankroll and 3 well trained players you could build a super team that nobody would be able to compete with.
Go on try it, if you think it's so easy. I'm pretty sure it's pretty challenging to pull off in US. You are just speculating. I think there be atleast one happy manager in US (the one who get's your spot in divI).


The fact that its even crossed his mind and furthermore he has admitted considering it should tell you its not just a spur of the moment potential decision.

Being able to train 3 unique SF's with average salaries of 60-70k even when you are in Division III and having a few $1k players that will be replaced when you decide to promote again will smash the competition. If you are worried about the competition, then tank the cup and put everything into the regular season.

Maybe we need to tighten the restrictions to buy and sell further and/or introduce contracts with rewards such as 'frozen salaries' so that long term planning can be rewarded, less players find themselves on the market and so internal training becomes more effective and the TL when it is used costs more relative to where we are today.

Are you for real? A team who is playing in US divI for his 11-th season and has won 5 championships (including last season) is going to drop to divIII? Really??? First of all it's his pride that will stop him, if that fails (I doubt it), then it's common sense that comes into play. If he really goes through with it and is unable to promote again, he will most certainly quit. I dare him to do it, if for nothing else then to prove everyone that it can be done.
I do not what his tactic is, perhaps he tryes to lure his opponents to throw in the towel, making them believe that would be the way to US divI championship. I don't know, but if he truly does it, then I will make a t-shirt saying: "I suck hard at BB theorycrafting" and will post a pic of me wearing it in this thread, him failing and me being right is enough of a reward for me.
I might have considered buying lvl7 speciality trainer, it does not mean I will ever do it.

As soon as I win the B3

You are just speculating.


Not really, in year 1 (NBBA revenues) I'd make way more then 300k per week, year 2 in DII would be conservatively 200-300k. year 3 would be less then that, but the net of 3 years in that plan would be pretty close. Of course, this is all based on the current economic conditions which may or may not stay the same.

Oh the irony.

My point was that if its tempting to me, it can be tempting to just about any D1 team in the world. Im not saying i will do it, depends on how things play out, but its def in the cards.

I'm the opposite - I'm just waiting for a Japanese III to be created :D

I am confident in my ability to get to the divI when I am ready, using my own tactics, not some desperate tactic:) Perhaps you would like to use it? You are in a small country after all;)

So you are deliberately holding back - meaning you feel the economy where you are right now is more beneficial than promoting - so are you not already carrying out the plan brian discussed without actually having to do the demoting part ;)


Thank you for your concern - right now the average age and value of my top 10 players kicks that strategy into touch. If values are as they are now when my current roster age 25-30 then I might be sufficiently (insert of your choice: bored - brave - stupid - maverick - genius) to have a go at it!
