Hi all,
it's been a while since i posted, but i've been doing my usual bussy schedule. I must say, after 12 seasons NT, i'm glad i'm not the NT coach this season. Joe, i wish u the best of luck! same goes for the B3. All the new rules concerning economics are really made in ur advantage, so maybe this finally will be the season we see Joe win the B3. would be fun to see a Belgian win it!
As for me and my Angels, i have no ambitions what soever to stay in the BBBL. I'm tanking this season. If i can somehow get the 7th spot, then i'll take the extra cash when i go back down. But my prioprity is training my youngsters. I've got 2 players who will be the cornerstones of my futur team and i'm building an economy to be able to be a big player in a couple of seasons (once my trainees are starting to end there training :D) I'll still be on the look-out to add another yonug Belgian to my roster, but i'm not expecting to make a move anytime soon. Any moves that i might undergo will be orientated for the futur of my team.
I must admit that my current economy could get me enough impact players to most likely avoid regulation, but i'd rather restructure my entire team and build one that could challenge for a potential title down the road. I've got high hopes and expectations. i won't deny that i dislike tanking, however my economy took a hit 2 seasons ago, where i was absolutely not expecting to go down at all. So i had to restart from scratch and i don't want to do such a thing again.
I'll be doing many things with the time that i have now (since i'm taking a gap-year from all U21/NT duties, other than the occasional advise for Joe if he would request it). I'm hoping to get enough time around to restructure our Belgian BB forum. I started up that project 6 seasons ago, but burried it due to U21/NT & GM duties. i'll be looking at what i had first, and move on from there. GM-LoD approved my previous draft for the redesign, but a lot has changed since then ;) A lot will involve new threads etc, however some help would be nice. i've already began preparing a new rough draft ( based on the old one). i'll still be contacting Joe for some guides i'm hoping to post up, but the basic idea is to provide a FAQ in Dutch AND French for the new managers. this will require a LOT of my time, but i'm hopefull to finish it by the end of the season.
As for my intentions this season: a long cuprun, a couple of BBBL wins (i'll be chosing specific games. if i think i can win, i won't hesitate to go for it and even throw around the occasion CT. i appologize in advance for the teams that might suffer from my CT since they'll feel disadvantaged, but if i got a shot at avoiding the 8th spot or gaining a spot on the rankings, then i won't hesitate to pull the trigger).
And a special shout out to our newcomer, the Eagles: Best of luck mate! ur playing with the big-boyz now. Forum activity is much higher, don't hesitate to pitch in! I wish u all the best, but BBBL is quite different from II, especially in terms of activity. hope u'll enjoy it and prove to be another active addition to our fora.
