Ok then... On that logic you played CT and your best available players against me knowing I needed to win to make playoffs. You have admitted genuine belief that you will beat meateors so surely you are preparing for him yet you went all out against me...
Demotion will set you back close to $2 mill at least.
Now $4.3 mill for your trainees will take a minimum of 2 seasons in div 3, provided you don't relegate next season
Plus you have to factor in the loses over the 4-5 seasons before your trainees become worthwhile
1) You do realize you make less revenue in the lower leagues right? Before I promoted I made $20k a week. This season I was making $200k a week with the same roster... Do the math. ;)
2) I think you underestimate the activity of the current div3. I can't recall any bots in my league last season. I could be wrong but from memory I just remember a couple of teams who tanked and sold their whole rosters.
3) Again, the losses in income received from div2 to div3. Merchandise and tv contract alone is a massive drop. Sure you will make profit, but you have a long, boring journey ahead!
