I doubt that Koops will be able to sustain his current roster the whole length of the season.
Traditionally he sells up after his cup run is over or when he is safe from relegation.
As for how much Id need to beat him, well Ryder and Williams are both very salary efficient and Terry Mc is quickly improving.
Koops will not be able to find a SF as good as Ryder or Williams for under 3 or 4 mill and I dont think he has that sort of cash.
I guess that 2 x 200K, 2 x 150K and 1x 100k players would supplement my current roster and would only take me to 1.2 mill.
I remember running with a similar size roster in Div 2 a few seasons ago.
Then again I may only be bluffing
How would Koops go if he got bundled down to Div 2? would he have the resilience to stay in the game and fight his way back into the ABBL?
