well, you still have to pay one week of salary compensation, wich means 21k, so it takes at least 11 weeks before decomming interesting. but the thing to know is if they are as good.

From everything I have heard, I am fairly certain that there are no sub-levels for staff, all lvl 9 trainers are equal. One thing to think about is that there is a very good chance that your trainer will drop at least one level in those 11 weeks. My first trainer dropped a level every 5 weeks. So depending on how long you can stand to keep the new trainer it might not be worth it.

A related question. Are the wage spans for staff known/investigated?

I'm truly sorry to learn this. In reality, this never happens. Coaches/trainers learn and get better, they don't get stupid in five weeks time.

These irritating artifacts from Hattrick need to be stomped on, burned, and left for dead by the side of the road if BuzzerBeater is to succeed.

BuzzerBeater needs to rid the game of this lunacy as fast as possible.

Staff members eventually get complacent in their jobs, and wont perform as well.

That is indeed realistic.

I think it is necessary and realistic for staff ability to degrade over time. Complacency could be one reason, another being that the same message becomes less effective or inspiring over time. This is one reason why managers, coaches and the like are fired all the time in every sport.

My one concern is that the skill decline is too fast, at the rate I experienced with my first trainer it would be nearly impossible to keep a trainer for more than one season while maintaining a worth while training scheme. I will say though that I only have experience with the one trainer, my PR manager has kept his ability level for about 9 weeks now without suffering a drop so it seems variable.

I do feel that staff degradation is something that merits keeping an eye on though.

Are your PR guy and trainer at the same level? I wonder if the skill decline is faster at higher levels?

There should be limits on the number of talented coaches, so teams can make choices between spending their money on talented players who can win despite the coach, or average players whose coach can get the most out of them.

It would seem reasonable that if there were too many 9 coaches in BB to keep raising the salary demands of new coaches. But then you have the issue of what to do with existing coaches. You could either bump their salary, or as BB has done, degrade their skills.

So I think BB has done a reasonable job of making staff decisions an economic factor.

My trainer was a level 10 while my PR manager was and is a level 5, so skill level definitely could be a factor.

Hmm. Think of all the coaches who have 20, 30 year careers and BB has them dropping off after 5 weeks? I don't think that is even remotely realistic.

Why necessary, for the sake of argument?
