Having a cushion on runaway inflation is bad management.

edit: @kozlodoev: man you're fast

Fast, but not completely correct (see my answer to his argument).

Now about your comment: yes, inflation decreases the value of my cushion. But by how much? And how much flexibility do I gain with respect to sepnding every dime I own?

I'm OK with the value of my cushion decreasing by even 10% every season if it allows me to be more flexible in my choices and my reactions.

I have a feeling that some of our friends who are complaining about the changes are those who maximize their resource utilization :-)

We are also making changes to the Cup and B3. For both competitions, instead of earning gate receipts depending upon the home team attendance, teams will get a fixed amount of money in each round. A table listing the payouts for each round will be placed in the rules before next season.

Let me get it straight... if I am unlucky enough to play a division I team in the first round I won't even have the advantage of a higher arena income?

Honestly I was hoping for a *even* better attendance system, where a division IV team playing home against a DI would see its arena sold out, no matter what, and an DI team playing home against a D-IV team would have half seats empty, no matter what.

Right, and the BBs have apologized for this already.

i'm not a First Division trainer.

i'm in III division in Italy, but i really don't know why, just beacuse 2-3 teams have 25.000 stadium and play in easy First National Leagues, everyobod must pay.

i really don't know why...it's ridicolous that the strongest team in my national First Division receives same money from TV than the worst of the VI division..isn't it!?!?

now most of the teams who are playing in Playoff could prefer stay in his division than be upgrade...!

it's a paradox. bah

very accept .. that's what i tried to say ..
and teams from the lower divisions of course not understand that because they only profit from that thing ..

you're a fair man .. congratulations ;)

The new changes could have been posted before, at least one week before the playoff market limit. As a LA... they could also be more concise... ;-)

- Inflation on the player's market is a fact, so something must be done. This excess of money is coming from somewhere. Identificating the source and correcting it is a must.

- Another fact is that BB-life in I,II and III divisions was much nicer than that of IV and V divisions, where the economic balance was much more equilibrated and probably somewhat drooping to the negative numbers, so welcome to real life to I,II and III teams (including me).

- Nobody can be really interested in a free out-of-control market. And the good thing is that after some time, prices will calm down. Congratulations to the BBs to be brave enough to take decisitions soon! In other games it is necessary a few months of popular pressure to make them move.

- For me, changes will not kill my economy. As someone said, adapt or die, this is a game! I understand that for other teams it may be tricky, but I don´t expect the change to be so big that the sale of one or two top players cannot compensate.

That's my opinion.

We should have a lock down!!! Don't play any games untill BB has sorted this mess out!! Team owners did it in the MLB and NBA a couple of seasons ago...

But serieusly: would it have been more accaptable if BB came up with a complete different story, something that is plausable like $ 7 maintence per arena seat every week? (together with a possibilty to size down your arena). Inflation is a problem (or do you think owning a player for half a season, and without training his value is doubled is healthy?), and BB should do something about it. The way the do it is arguable, but we will just have to deal with it in the way it comes!
