changing topic here

i was just reading the season 12 thread & it is amazing

their rosters were soooooo weak compared to now they must have been making a fortune

Holtz: The majority of teams appear to be building their teams around a strong big man, generally the centre. Razzle Dazzles are no exception retaining a $70,000+ a week player in their centre position.


lol impressed by a 70k big man

Greeno: agree, the wage bill of some teams must be nuts. Is it worth it?


Steves Crocs were 400k & every1 was amazed

Holtz: I only have 2 players with a salary over 35K, the most expensive is under 42K. My players salary is just over $230,000.


that was a championship team then went 17-5 & took the championship but a tanking team now

Greeno: my team total is a measley 163K.


wow they went 11-11 for 5th

funny looking at who was there, only player still here is adam but he was great 8 back then

Much has changed in bb since then. Even holtz was able to win a Div 2 championship back then.

their rosters were soooooo weak compared to now they must have been making a fortune

Not really. The season i relegated from Div 2 (from memory season 12) I had a salary of 190k and was making between 50k-70k pw. Last season I was spending a bit over 300k and was pulling in 150k-170k pw. That's how much the economy has changed since then.

Steves Crocs were 400k & every1 was amazed

150k of that salary was Steve McNamara. He was what undone the crocs. He was trained from the start and he couldn't sell him out of loyalty. When you throw in Pablo Fromista (his 70k c) his team was very unbalanced meaning lesser salaries kept stopping him from promoting. He was running at a loss for at least 3 seasons before he relegated... I know that because he is my brother.

Fair call. And you may be right.

I might've just wasted a month of trading with one bad trade.

You will waste a lot more if you don't sell immediately...

It's like the radford situation (without trying to drag out another pointless debate). It's not the transfer fee, but the unsustainable salary that will cost you. The longer you hold out trying to gain a higher sale price, the more it costs you in weekly loss of revenue.

Yeah, I definitely can see that. I'll only hold onto him for one salary week, but hopefully it'll cover the change and give me a little more.

Maybe not. I guess that's what gambling is about.

You are paying a hell of a lot for that passing and handling. If that guy had three more pops in JS and 3 less in passing, and 3 more in JR and 3 less in Handling, his salary would be like $120-130K, much more rounded and a much more attractive purchase.

Filthy capitalists get what they deserve from their failed economic system.

I'm with you and Pwnage, this guy has a unsustainable weekly salary, and would be better served with the above changes. Salaries above $150k are rarely worth it due to what they do to your economy.
