Congratulations for winning the cup !
It was apparently your only goal for this season, and you succeeded in getting it, so it was a succesful season.
Maybe next season you could do Belgium proud in the B3 tournament ?

grtz,
eagle.

My guess at the begining of the season was Mizu-Vottem-Kelmis and Stonestar for the play off in our division..

I get lucky that Mizu focused on the cup to reach the fourth spot but i knew that i stand no chance against votem so i keep on training Hernando and don't trained GS nore kept enthousiasm to face Votem... With only one team being relagated in our division, next year will still be more than hard in our division.... Good luck to those hoe still have something to defend this year.

And the poor bastard that ends up on 'the bloodbath' side.
You can give him his ticket for the second division....(unless...one of you will choose to go down)
(Stonestars ???)

It's pretty clear that Mizu has the best team in Belgium on a single game.

Now their roster will probably prevent them from winning the championships. Stone told he'd stop but this isn't so, and will probably remain a serious opponent over seasons to come.

Now, on the regularity, Joe is still the best, and I'd be extremely surprised if he didn't win once again. I'll try to give him a hard time anyway !

thank you everyone ^^

i might have a good starting five indeed, and be very competitive, but it's kinda useless to win the tournament to be kicked out of the b3 and not being able to even qualify for the playoffs... not to mention that the cup doesnt make up for poor league's results in fans' minds and income are thus very low, so it's not viable...

well, i can't complain i now have 6 trophies

yet sad to see amenra going down after having been close to the top for a while.

Yep, it's strange to see boes and Amenra going down.

And Hall leaving Belgium is strange too, he was probably one of the best players in the league.

On the other hand, we can't hide the fact that BB Belgium is having less and less users. That does not bode well for the international future of our teams ...

we had several good seasons in our international teams. had a world cup participation, some european championship participations. the thing that doesn't bode well is that with the users going down, talent will become more scares and thus prices will go up. And everyone knows how important good belgian players are for the viability of the teams.

we'll soon be competing with eachother for the same players. i've noticed that the past 8 belgian players i've tried to buy have either ended up with Spartans, Ventola, Obira or another BBBL team (tho 3 teams were the ones that took my players most of the times...)

anyhow, i'm expecting some managers to lose out soon. more and more managers are starting to waive in terms of BB, and i'm no expection for that. But each time i'm close to giving up, i find something new. a new challenge. tho i'm running out of challenges soon...

Az~

Yep but sooner or later we'll run out of choices.

I'm really delighted of the relationship I do have with some owners, and this is leading to making some very great players. Guys like Legaye, Remy, Bogemans, Neudt, and so on. Most of them you've probably never heard of, but they're going to be extremely good players.

But we have to be realistic about numbers. I am not raising a full generation on my own, there are perhaps only 6 of them that are truly are world class material. As U21 manager I can raise wonderful players that wil never make it to the A due to a low potential. That's too bad, for some of their trainers are really good and dedicated, and willing to listen to what I would advice them.

@AZ : Yes I know you were targeting Vaes. I'm sorry I picked him up before you did, but the thing is I would have never thought one of the most beautiful outside players of Belgium would be available at only 1.3 M - same for Claeys, I was the only one that bid on him when I got him (1.5 M) and you may be sure this is a truly amazing PF - although several weaknesses in his game require me training him out of position for some time. The only one for which I had a bidding war was Marichal, and I still think that 1.75 M for such a fine (and young) player isn't overpriced, especially when considered that you got 3 M for him one season ago.

I can just encourage you to find a new challenge, why not try to train the best SF Belgium has ever seen ? I have convinced Bogemans' trainer to follow that path, because I think that this lack of people at the SF post is really hurting us, but he could use some serious challenger :) Of course, you have to choose a player whose training will suit Eeckhout's one, but in the end both your team and the country will greatly benefit from that.

About the championship, there was nothing the Spartans could do to stop the cowboys' winning march, and Joe seems to be cruising to (yet) another title. He's still out of my league - for now I like to think :)

In the lower divisions, funny fact if that all the conference winners will be playing each other for a BBBL spot. Which means we'll see new faces, although old acquintances will be back, like FTA or Ganshoren / Tumasstars.

Sorry for the wall of text, I felt like in a communicating mood :p
