Note: Tanking is still profitable if done right, i did it for fun to play in lower leagues which i never did and probably there is a better way to do it than the way i did.


Where's the fun in playing in lower leagues? I guess it's only useful if you are training 18 and 19y olds, but other than that...hm? You know how to use enthusiasm, game shape, tactics, when to buy and sell players...a lot of lower league managers don't know that, so you have great advantage over them. Where's the fun in that, when you are that much better than competition?

i wouldn't call it fun -- i would say it is necessary.

i am about to embark on a program of rebuilding -- what others are calling "tanking" -- because frankly i see no other way. at the levels i was reaching, there was little or no room for error -- and i made mistakes, foolish purchases, not using the money available wisely, boxing myself into a corner with no future except a slow death.

i have decided to be one of those 0-22 teams that you may seen in a conference (we had one this season in DII.4) -- i hate what it does to the competition, but i fully understand that sometimes to get to where you want to go, you gotta take four steps back. i tell myself that this next time i do it right . . .

but for the next four seasons, i doubt if i win 20% of my games . . .
