Vios is tanking, Vios is sexy and Vios will be going to Div III next season! I have to stick to my guns now just out of principle as you all seem to think I'm a guarantee to backflip...

The Knowledge that if I did decide to buy up, would mean that my old pal Hads would be the one who suffers and I can't have that. It also appears he's taking measures of his own to avoid such an thing from occurring.

I know the trolls will jump on me if I tell anyone to tank but I am very happy with my decision to tank season 18. I made a fortune, bought two young key players for my team, could train like a demon and was well set up to bounce right back to the ABBL. I don't like the idea of tanking that much but if the game is set up for it and it isn't hurting anyone else I can't see the problem. It isn't unrealistic either. OKC did it in the NBA and looking at every move Orlando is making right now all I can see is they are trying to make their team as bad as possible for a season or two.

So if ViOlated sticks to his plans I am sure that such a great manager will be able to achieve his goals whatever they may be. As far as I know there have been a couple of teams that tanked division II, then won division III and division II championships back to back on the basis of that one season of big money.

Vios would have to win 5 more games than Razor back s(im discounting hadders cause i reckon he will make a move now). for the rest of the season - Vios percentage too low to only win the 4.

So its not just 5 wins... its 5 wins MORE than razorbacks.

So if razorbacks win 5, then vios has to win all 10 of his last games.

Even if razorbacks only wins one more game this season, it means vios has to win 6.

So when you do the maths, I think if he was going to make a move, it would have happened earlier.
so ive consigned myself to him not being here next season.

Thanks Regan, finally somebody who actually believes what I have been saying all season long.

So far this season has not been anywhere near as painful as you might think and we're half way through already! I'm a little concerned (slightly) that I'll land in a tough Div III league. Hopefully I have no trouble bouncing back after a season or two, when my youngsters will be ready for Div II!

I'm currently sitting on just over $4mil and training of my juniors is coming along nicely. Can't complain really, first time in a couple of season that I haven't had a good whinge about something!

Hey I said I believed you.

Key trainee about to get a 4 week injury? Besides that there isn't much that can go wrong when you are tanking.

Just wait until Sid makes his big move after ASG, then you can add a few extra O's to that! ;-)


As we'll see in a couple of weeks, my tips are money in the bank!


You know maybe my old mate VIOS is right maybe I am about to go crazy on the transfer market and buy in a starting line up of beasts.

Im a realistic chance of making the final 16 of the cup.

Come the final 16, there will only be 5 ABBL teams left and the rate that theyre been drawing each other their might only be one ABBL team left come the final 4.

If I can sneak a win this week and next week as well, then I'll be in the final 8 and at that stage I just might blow a couple of mill for the chance of getting a decent trophy.

Has a non ABBL team ever won the cup before?

Obviously Im really long odds to do it, but gees if the rate the ABBL teams keep on knocking each other out continues, well then the cup would be wide open

I don't like the idea of tanking, but considering it's perfectly legal/possible under the current game set up, I wouldn't have a problem with someone if they chose to do it. At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to do what they think is best for their team and play the game how they want to play (other than cheating). There's no right or wrong way to play, so while I would never encourage someone to tank I wouldn't hold it against them if they did.

Personally, I'd like to see the BBs actually address the tanking issue properly and make proper changes to discourage it, but that's just my personal point of view.

Kind of hoping that you might take him out the week after next.

No disrespect to yourself but that would really open the cup up
