Staff is just a normal part of expenses I thought?

"you kind of feel more of an urgency to clean your economy, have a good draft and develop"




I agree at same time, not every team can have a good draft on BB. Because of training speeds and certain picks are shot before you even start.

True but anyone can purchase a trainee.... and then train them.

anyone can train existing players on their team....

Clearly the evidence in this thread shows at least one person cannot.

In any case, for the actual on-topic discussion recently, staff does count toward the OET, but there's no training exemption for the staff salary increases.

wow, you're full of Australian players! nice. although the guy you're selling wasn't trained by you, so full OET gain there, if you're not in surplus. can you tell us your difference in marketing merchadise sales with the league average?

Prior to the possible sale of Quinton(salary 134 K a week), I am forecast to be losing 117K a week and after exemption be paying 25K in tax.

My Merchandise is about 25K over the league average.

Ive just demoted after a season in Div 1, so my initial strategy was to go hard early and win the important games, thus getting the fans back on side, before selling down 3 or 4 weeks into the season.

I cleaned up my financial mess a lot by the hiring and firing of staff and may still hang onto the 134 K player I have on the market, if he does not sell for a decent amount.

Assuming I win my cup games for the next few weeks, I will only be overall about 90 K a week out of pocket but expect that the market will respond better to a possible sale of Quinton in 3 or so weeks time

Okay, this time, you convinced me.

So as someone asked earlier, I think the best thing is to ignore your messages and keep discussing OET with people who have global knowledge of the game. It is funny to discuss with Mr. Glass, but it leads the discussion nowhere

Well I reckon its actually time that messages that are full of illegible pointless ramblings got deleted from this thread or perhaps moved to a new thread called "Broken Glass"

With a resounding majority in favor.
That is a landslide.

One would hope that all the Managers who have "floundered" out their arguments in this and other threads, have cast their vote.


Changes and the introduction of new taxs are not usually popular in real life, so the current poll results are quite interesting.

For all those doomsdayers who havent voted, go to (253111.1)

I voted that it will improve the game but in honesty I am not 100% sure how it will help. :)

Staff being included in expenses makes sense however I think something needs to be adjusted . Either the tax needs to be based on the staffs purchased salary or the staff market needs correcting. Currently buying quality staff is very difficult and ridiculously expensive. Perhaps a system that allows you to upgrade your staff by paying a flat rate for each level of upgrade. All of the levels would carry a defined per week cost?

Staff are quite expensive

Not sure how this can be addressed though

Man I alot of you need read what I said in my post. I addressed all this.

They wont fix staff, alot have been fighting 2seaons ago fighting for that.


This is foolish to be going in circle. I said in my post of before its a false hood for them tax on staff training rather then the personal player contracts or free agent sale for a time period with in salary. Is that understandable?

If some want action of difference( fairness) , but voted yes to tax that's unfair but don't know why you voted yes.? Just to fit in in crowd, think about your long term of your team. how are you to manage with tax on you so deep, you cant have a bad season, the draft will not get teams out of hole in div2 nor will training int he lower league even harder because lack of income., you sell a good player, you lose buying power. Trainer don't get better just more expensive every week. That is the reality of this.


Think about the lop sided of tactics, tell me who has the advantage to sell and profit. Who has the players.? the abusive Farming manage does. I have address that.

Because it already happening. Our vote don't matter. I have address the whole matter quite clear, we are losing hundreds of thousands to million of dollars in back log from training players. If its based on training and these players are/were on our team for atleast 6-10 season need to be accounted for the past markets, not just today's market.

Its very sad and petty they paint someone to be the enemy and problem for speaking up for the good of managers with a differ view, so they can get a agenda across.

This is about money and being out managed period!!. I could less about the next manager bank account, I make 1-2.5million a season with my team at same time, this is not right. Trust me you haven't seen anything yet for your ball club struggles, If you think this is going to stop the tanking/farming or over buying within the salary ,. No it will not. Because this a seller rules and a money rule.

if think having balanced team under your cap is going to save you, no it wont. Sell player and get back at me, Unless he sells for a lot money for your a done duck.
