i actually remember my start up quite vividly.
Was 3-8, was too nooby and was like "Alright, how am I gonna win the ship here?"
Bought players, half read forums half didn't. Tried too hard for title.
So when you have a bad record and you get a team, I suspect most managesr are like "How can i make my team a contender NOW" and end up more vulnerable to blowing up all their starting cash.
If it's fresh out the draft, or having took over a tream with a winning record, things might be different. But that is my experience around 9 seasons ago.
