So I showed you a lot of examples and you still don't believe that tanking is too popular.

The salary floor helped a bit but it's way too low to make 1st and 2nd league tanking unefficient. Salary floor in division 3 ist ~90k/week. Average income attendence: 190k, TV-money: 90k, merch: 27k. Average expenses: 270k for players, personnel: 43k, Scout: 7k

That leaves tanking teams in league 3 weekly earnings of (numbers of the tanking team in my league):
164k attendence + 27k merch
personnel: 30k, Scout 20k
--> 141k earnings per week. And don't forget about training: you don't have to make compromises in training because you don't care about winning.

And I left out the Cup. Most tanking teams do all they can to stay in the Cup rather long. In Germany you can be lucky to get 5-6 Bots in the first 6 rounds. More money easily gathered for tanking teams.

The easiest fix would be to stop people attending games if a team lost e.g. three games in a row with more than 50 points. There are other criteria how to indentify obvious tanking. It's really easy to distinguish between tanking and forgetting to set a lineup for one game.

Time to revamp this discussion. Here is what should never happen if we want BB to survive:
(265866.1)

So I would like to propose we add this extra option to the initial list:
"GMs, EGMs and BBs should behave more responsibly"

I would be very interested to see Perpete's, Hrudey's and any other honest (hopefully) GM's opinion about this extra option! I'm very confident I'd be able to find the 33 votes to put this on top among the 200 odd English managers (well now we have a couple less) to top the "stop LCD/blanks" option.
