Just because you don't think the salary floor isn't effective in your specific league (which is debateable) doesn't mean that the other 99% of the leagues where it is an effective measure against tanking should be ignored. Congrats on putting a cost effective and competitive team together but it still works as it's intended in almost every instance my friend.

Do you think it is normal that theoretically, a team could go bankrupt because of the salary floor?

Picture a team that has such low revenues outside of TV contract that he cannot sustain a decent roster. Now that team should get relegated, but what would happen is that it will get deleted. You don't see a problem there?

Problem solved as long as you don't have the bad luck of promoting before building enough arena seats. In this case, promoting hurts you more than not promoting, which is absurd, especially when the aim is to encourage competitiveness.

If any team goes bankrupt, it's not due to the salary floor. It's due to all the money mismanagement that took place well beforehand. Theoretically.

I think you're really reaching here.

Look plenty of teams go bankrupt because they can't manage money properly and I'm perfectly okay with that. But in this case the team that promotes ends up making LESS money than if it didn't promote, because of salary floor, despite featuring a roster perfectly adequate for avoiding relegation in their first season. Talk about an incentive to promote... Now I agree that going bankrupt would require many particular circumstances that are very unrealistic in most cases, yes.

Honestly, it looks like fixes being implemented over previous fixes to fix problems created by fixes themselves, and where is it going to end? Trim this fix-puzzle down. All this tanking is because the fan logic is flawed.

Your debate aside, the salary floor is still an excellent anti-tanking measure IMO. In fact you're the first person that I've seen that doesn't seem to think this is the case.

But they're never going to be able implement a change that has an 100% approval rating. That's obviously not realistic. But that doesn't mean that doing nothing is the proper step either. But making a change that looks like a step in the proper direction by a huge majority is still a positive move.

No actually I DO think it works fine on tanking. It's just that it creates other problems.

I agree, as long as it's temporary, until they make fans that actually voice their displeasure when a team that has money and is heading to the bottom doesn't use it to prevent relegation.
