Upgrading any kind of staff to more than level 4 is simply inefficient and a waste of money. Marginal cost is superior compared to marginal gain from that type of "investment".

My merchandise increased $13k this week.

11/8/2010 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 42 369
11/15/2010 Weekly Merchandise profit $ 55 195

I did acquire a $72k salary centre, but I also sold 2 longstanding members of my rotation and 1 of my own draft selections.

The amusing thing is that I actually downgraded from a level 5 PR guy to a level 3 PR guy over the past 2 weekly processing sessions for the massive increase. I don't think this makes much sense, but I'll take it. It's pretty neat.

Same thing happened to me few weeks ago, my merchandise go up from 25k to 30k despite i sold my 67k center and replace my competent PR with basic.I was very suprised on monday that my merchandise go up, actually i was expected little decrase.So what was cause this increase in merchandising in my case? That week i won my away game against opponent with much higher world rankings and that win helped me to improve my WR about 1000 places (from 8500 to 7500), so i belive that this improvment in world rankings increase my merchandise ( I dont see any other reason). I see that you also win away game that week against opponent with higher world rankings (I Wor Kuen).

Pr has an impact on merchandising and on arena revenue.No doubt about that.The question is:the economic benefit that i have from his efect is really higher than his weekly salaries+his purchase price
My personal opinion is:No,PR doesn't worth the money you have to spend to afford it
Because of the mechanism of arena revenue and his cap,and the merchandising system,you can virtually almost reach the cup without need hiring the PR,because your team simply has a good record,your palace is full or almost full and you can't earn more money
But also if you are in a bad situation in your league,what should be the level,and consequently the salary,of your PR to cancel the effects of your bad record?It should be high,5-6-7.But these kind of Pr has 25-30-35-40k salary/week,to earn how much money?40-50k at the best?So,basically,at the best the balance with the Pr is 0 in expenses/benefits,and during that time you could save that money for your future
