I bought a trainee for over $4m and have another quality trainee, so I attempted to follow through with that objective. It's not working out, but not for the lack of trying. I'll take the extra revenue if it's handed to me, but I would demote and train players if it came to it. Training is mine and most people's favourite aspect of the game, I'm sure.
I'd laugh if someone was as idiotic with their money as me. I mean, in the interest of competition my purchases (even going back to overpaying for Demers and Hall) are really stupid. With $15m+ in my pocket I'd be a lot more fearsome than I am now, now and in the future. I could build an $800k team with years of longevity that is better than my current $1.6m team. RiP's $1m team is better than my current team.
And just to reiterate, I received a message saying my purchases would be matched. At that point I was $680k salary and 9 enthusiasm and he was $1.03m salary (having previously purchased a $250k player for the cup) and 11.5-12 enthusiasm. I had a pretty good idea I'd have won without any purchases but I had another spur-of-the-moment idea that I could make absolute sure. I don't like being belittled. I am the bad guy here, but I had an inclination to do this. Whatever, I'm over it. I like LPP and he's clearly a better manager than me. This is proof.
