What is with everyone coasting along in this Div?

this season is going ahead the same.

I'll be hoping I find my way back to this Div if this keeps up!


Damn good to see VIOS back in our forum and that a few of you swallowed his controversial bait

Bit surprised in that I have spent 7 mill on players just of recent (5 mill if you take Will out of the equation), yet no one seems to think that Im taking this season serious

Actually if you go back to my 'Pants Down', you'll see that I noted very early on that Sundae had made some extremely good player transactions at the start of the season.

I'm more getting at that nobody else really bothered to challenge, everyone simply coasted along and just let the season play out as it was.

Perhaps his early moves were enough to convince those other coaches you've mentioned, to delay their title runs.

@HA - You know me mate, always one to throw a little tinder on the fire to get things going! (My forum is dead as a door nail, so got get my fix somewhere) ;-)

If anyone thought that ur purchases were worth mentioning in the context of making ur team competitive then they would have said something.
But Alas - the silence is deafening.

I think very early last season I made mention that Awesome looked Awesome, but still a heck of an achievement to canter through Divv 2 in the one season and then be sitting 5 and 1 in the ABBL.

I did coast most of last season focusing on training and with a couple of rounds left I lost a must win game against the West Indies which I assumed that I would win.

If I had of got that win I just may have rolled the dice a little

Gold mate you got them in

Noticed how I havent bitten at the hook that was just placed for myself by some Cunning fellow?

I agree Awesome is doing very well for his first season in the ABBL but I also think it has a lot to do with what the other ABBLers are doing. There's two tankers at the moment on his side and he currently have the 5th highest overall salaries in the league. So naturally he should be doing well. Question is not whether or not he can be competitive in my opinion, question is whether or not he can jump to the next level and compete for a trophy. A lot of ABBLers struggle with that. ;)

Absolutely 100% right (very very worthy of the plus 1)

I certainly failed to threaten for a trophy during my time in the ABBL.

Because of the collapse in price of players, the step from Div 2 to the ABBL is so much easier now that what it was 6 or 7 seasons ago when I first made the ABBL.

That said the gap between your level of "management nous" as compared to mine or that of another non elite manager, is considerable.

Always easier the first season in the ABBL with the promotion boost, but if your not building or havent got cash to splash (like the Urmummas) over a short period of time, then all that will happen is your players will gradually lose value through ageing

I'm not sadistic like u Sid, I've got a boat to cater for my fishing needs, although I do like it so don't stop its fun to read.
So yer No hook here I play pretty straight and was calling a spade a spade- - ur recent purchases = rubbish. That's why nobody has commented on them in context of potential promotion this season.
