its possible to get 100k plus for a few k lor.. I seen a few people make that mistake... finally got new active manager.. don't wanna see him get diillusioned after going bankrupt :(

To be honest looking at your trainees I'd just stick to lvl 4 trainer... but that's up to you Vandar :)

I'll of course definitely get one who can go well with my finance, and yes, I'm planning to bid a few milllions for a 30-60k salary, but for now, I'm starting from a scratch with the promotion bonus.

By the way just for sharing, I still feel kind of thrilled for being an active league championship lol(credit to MightyMice for indicating the importance of proficient gameshape), and I have a friend who also get excited for finally after few season he get a championship cup BUT the final round opponent is a bot bwahahaha lol, nvm, whats important is that both of us is a champion before and is also very happy :) and he is much more luckier than me because he get 2 5k+ and a 6k near mvp draft, I feel great for him and his 6k near mvp get a strong inside scoring just by training one on one for a week lol, what an excellent result for him.

You all are so friendly and welcoming, I feel so welcomed, happy, and fortunate to be here lol :D

Arena size is a good gage of how much you can afford.
At 5-6K arena size you are probably getting about $100K revenue.
At 10K arena size you should get about $200K revenue.

Yes, trainer level is very important in BB but as plenty of people pointed out, lvl 4 trainer is actually good enough. Upgrade to lvl 5 only when you really have extra cash and can afford one.

You should take note that lvl 5 trainer salary will increase 2% every week. So even if you managed to get a lvl 5 trainer at $16K, 1 season later, your trainer will cost you ~$21K, 2 seasons later cost you ~$27K.
So don't think that after spending $300K you will only be paying $16K flat forever. Their salary will increase up to a point when you will need to reconsider whether you want to continue to pay $30K every week for a lvl 5 trainer or bid another $300K for a lower salary one.

I personally had a lvl 4 trainer for my first 2 seasons until I finally decided to upgrade it to lvl 5. It was basically because my level 4 trainer salary increased from $12K to become $17K and I was looking to replace the trainer anyway.

I did consider about staff salary increment and as what you mention, I'll reconsider again to replace when the finance could not go well.

Edited: As for the arena, I'm planning to increase the price to the maximum and increase the seats only if the attendance is full for 2-3 matches.

Lvl 5 is superior. Apologies for using the old terminology.

You are paying $50K for an exceptional trainer right? Exceptional staff salary increase should be higher than 2%. Not sure how much exactly though since I don't have one. Maybe you can advise.

This is also another good point to consider when assessing whether you can afford a staff or not. For TerFu's case, his exceptional trainer already costing him $50K/week. Although, exceptional trainer salary actually can be as low as $21K, it is still not worthwhile for TerFu to change trainer as it will cost about $1M to bid on another exceptional trainer.

It will only be worthwhile for TerFu to consider bidding for another exceptional trainer if his current trainer salary go as high as $60K. By then, he would be spending extra $39K and if you multiply by 26 weeks (2 seasons), it would cost him extra $1M ($39K * 26). Plus, this hasn't taken into account the salary increment every week. So only when the salary goes as high as $60k/week then only it is worthwhile to consider spending another $1M to replace with a lower salary exceptional trainer

Hope you are not lost by now, but this gives a rough idea on the real total cost of ownership of a higher level staff. Don't just consider current salary, but also need to project how much you will be paying for staff for the next 2-4 seasons.

see boss! I told him to pump arena! LOL :P
