I think I quoted 1.2 to 1.5 mill per week (and not 1.5mi per week) and I dont reckon there is 10 weeks left in the season. (8 actually plus finals)

Bankruptcy gives you a couple of weeks

Look again and youll see that I had 8 mill in sales and not 6.

You may not have noticed but I had 5th sewn up 3 or so weeks out before the end of last season and started to lighten the salary load at about that time

You have however forgotten to mention that I recently spent 520K on an exceptional trainer

What purchases Ive had, if I wanted to, could be sold for at least cost, less some tax.

Might be a tad tight by the end of the season, but not a problem at all it would have been to see it out from now until the scheduled end of the cup.

If I sold all my players currently on my roster at present, I certainly would have the best part of 11 mill (a little bit off but certainly close enough)

Currently I dont have that 11 mill in the bank, but by seasons end if I continue on my path and sold my scrubs at the end of the season and held onto my 3 trainees, I would have around the 11 mill in the bank (possibly a little bit off but certainly close enough)

Would have liked another week or 2 in the cup and certainly would have considered having a real push at it.

Trainers are expensive. When I consider the $500k to buy them, the $50k a week they seem to cost me, the way I have to awkardly allocate minutes so my three trainees get them and the games lost so I can train the 18 year old guys it makes me wonder if Naker isn't right. Unlucky for me training is the most fun part of the game so I wont stop doing it.

If Naker is saying buying players is one of the best way to go about being successful then he is right. Since it's much more cost efficient. However just like you said, you lose the fun factor in watching your player grow. Also you can't create unique players and finding such players on the market can be rare and expensive.

Div 4 to div 2 in two seasons and quarter finals in the cup is relatively successful.
You're just upset that training is no longer (if it ever was) the best way to go :P

yeah i was never really tanking... i was hovering around the 450k salary mark which was way above the salary floor.

and was only 1 or 2 players away from being competitive.

its actually your 670k to my 840k... and my HCA which was a big big factor.

better lucky in the return match when we play at your home.

Its an interesting move. I wonder whether you've left your run to late (for the league at least) - since you have 3 games to make up and a really tough draw coming up (your away games are against the teams currently ranked 1,2,3 and 4 in the big 8).

Adds a bit of spice to the great 8 now though, I was just thinking the other day that it looks like the playoff race there had almost been decided.

Makes life a touch more difficult in the cup to

My (exceptional) Trainer goes up to 26k per week next week, so I expect that I'll keep him until the end of season 21.

In the currant market you are definately better buying either established 100k a week players or players around the age of 21 whom have had 3 seasons training but whom can still be shapped as required.

Was losing interest in the game, so the training of players might help reignite that interest.

Would be nice to bounce back to the ABBL in season 22 for financial reasons but I expect that it will take longer than that to be competitive with my 3 trainees.

That said I could run next season at a 2 mill loss (1 mill after the promotion bonus) and be back in the big money of the ABBL the season after

DFBS has officially gone bot.

Just my luck less than 48 hours before I play them

Duffil already has a bid of a mill on him

My one and only aussie trainnee (Thanks Shaz & Iwen for not letting me get Guest), young 18 year old Ryder already has better passing and jump range than Duffill
