...BBBL team to be reckoned with, because right now there is nothing we fear more than injuries in our starting 5.
Last season, we invested heavily in our roster with the intention of promotiing to the BBBL, which also meant we've spent most of our capital and were turning a heavy loss each week in division II, with our salaries going through the roof (by division II standards). Luckily, we finally achieved promotion, and suddenly we are turning a profit instead of a big loss ! The competition has only just started, but i already experience that there is much more money to be made in the BBBL, than in all the other divisions. Fan merchandising, arena attendance and tv contracts are suddenly much bigger than ever before experienced. Our board has already realised, the BBBL is certainly the place to be in all possible ways.
The goal of the board this season, is 5th place, so to avoid relegation and degradation duels and each place above the 5th is a bonus. If we can achieve the 4th place like you think, Joe, then believe me when i say that everyone at the Eagles will be very happy ! But like you say, maybe it's not an unrealistic goal, we'll see.
So far my first words in the BBBL, and i wish everyone a successful season and reaching your goals that you set out.

grtz,
Eagle.

Thanks for the compliment Eagle... It s nice to see you here after two finals won against you...

Wow Eagle, that is some serious posting over there :)

I wish you good luck for your first season in BBBL, yes there's money here, but you won't earn it that easy, you'll also have to invest if you want to win games.

Looks like you didn't come here to tank your season, as your home win against KV highlights, Polle was a great surprise last season and is doing a wonderful job so a victory against him is always good to take !

I know.....Joe want like it at all, but.....
I'm in the wrong conference; (this is hell)....Where do they all get their money ?
Do we fight ....and loose every week again and again. (don't like that)
do we try to make money ?(and give our boys the right training)
Do we aim for the title in the second division next season? (and come back stronger)

The Dragons go for the money and training. (sorry Joe...on the blue side everything should have been different)

For all the others...have a nice season....
No stress for me and see my money grow.

ppmmp

Goluch goes !
Denis will become a big star. (he can make the American team)
He will get training out of position... outside defence...
When we are out of the cup we will see who will leave then...

Good luck, Joe ....and become the star of the BBB. (Still I'm one of your greatest supporters)

Hi all,

it's been a while since i posted, but i've been doing my usual bussy schedule. I must say, after 12 seasons NT, i'm glad i'm not the NT coach this season. Joe, i wish u the best of luck! same goes for the B3. All the new rules concerning economics are really made in ur advantage, so maybe this finally will be the season we see Joe win the B3. would be fun to see a Belgian win it!

As for me and my Angels, i have no ambitions what soever to stay in the BBBL. I'm tanking this season. If i can somehow get the 7th spot, then i'll take the extra cash when i go back down. But my prioprity is training my youngsters. I've got 2 players who will be the cornerstones of my futur team and i'm building an economy to be able to be a big player in a couple of seasons (once my trainees are starting to end there training :D) I'll still be on the look-out to add another yonug Belgian to my roster, but i'm not expecting to make a move anytime soon. Any moves that i might undergo will be orientated for the futur of my team.

I must admit that my current economy could get me enough impact players to most likely avoid regulation, but i'd rather restructure my entire team and build one that could challenge for a potential title down the road. I've got high hopes and expectations. i won't deny that i dislike tanking, however my economy took a hit 2 seasons ago, where i was absolutely not expecting to go down at all. So i had to restart from scratch and i don't want to do such a thing again.

I'll be doing many things with the time that i have now (since i'm taking a gap-year from all U21/NT duties, other than the occasional advise for Joe if he would request it). I'm hoping to get enough time around to restructure our Belgian BB forum. I started up that project 6 seasons ago, but burried it due to U21/NT & GM duties. i'll be looking at what i had first, and move on from there. GM-LoD approved my previous draft for the redesign, but a lot has changed since then ;) A lot will involve new threads etc, however some help would be nice. i've already began preparing a new rough draft ( based on the old one). i'll still be contacting Joe for some guides i'm hoping to post up, but the basic idea is to provide a FAQ in Dutch AND French for the new managers. this will require a LOT of my time, but i'm hopefull to finish it by the end of the season.

As for my intentions this season: a long cuprun, a couple of BBBL wins (i'll be chosing specific games. if i think i can win, i won't hesitate to go for it and even throw around the occasion CT. i appologize in advance for the teams that might suffer from my CT since they'll feel disadvantaged, but if i got a shot at avoiding the 8th spot or gaining a spot on the rankings, then i won't hesitate to pull the trigger).

And a special shout out to our newcomer, the Eagles: Best of luck mate! ur playing with the big-boyz now. Forum activity is much higher, don't hesitate to pitch in! I wish u all the best, but BBBL is quite different from II, especially in terms of activity. hope u'll enjoy it and prove to be another active addition to our fora.
