Ok.... I didn't think I will be doing this, but I don't see why not.
My BB experience... is relatively limited, but that is true for all of us. I just completed my second full season in BB. First season I got in with 3 games left and couldn't avoid relegation, went down with a good lucky pick. Went right back, ironically in same II.3 division I started initially. Once there I put my eyes on the trophy and got it, now moving up in 1.1 division.
I believe I managed to be successful because (because of lucky pick) I do have quite extensive similar knowledge and experience (correlated with guts) from Hattrick. For those that want, they can find my equivalent team there and check the history (same user, same team name).
Over there I was able to move in straight seasons from V to IV, IV to III, III to II and II to AC, every time by autopromoting. I do struggle there now, it's true, but my salaries are a little over half compared with others so i'm not surprised. I think I won't autodemote though. It did take strategy, studying the opponents, taking risks at times, using TS to my advantage, guts and so on.
What I would do here?
Hmm, hard to tell. Pretty much the same thing, but don't expect me to win it all, I don't think our player base is there yet.
It is a tough act to follow after the very successful previous season ran by GM-oeuftete. He did have a little bit of luck, of course, but he also managed the team brilliantly. That's why one of the things I WOULD do, is try to consult him as much as possible for the beginning in order to leverage the information he accumulated by knowing the players.
Regards, for now.
