I'm guaranteeing you that there are no sublevels in Staff.

Most of what I post on these forums is couched with "as far as I know", or "I believe".

In this case it's an unequivocal "this is a fact".

EDIT: I just called a BB and he confirmed this to be the case.

Might be illogical, but I think Juice is right on this one. I think there are no sublevels. The salaries are just to provide you with an incentive to change staff.

Clearly salaries are not directly related to staff level, since Alan Dubois is getting paid the same even though he has dropped at least a full level.

Salaries are related to the initial Staff level.

Once they drop, the salary stays the same - that's the incentive to not just keep the staff member for a really long time.

Some people may thing there is a "sublevel" because the player skills are "real" numbers and not "integer" numbers, and people expect it to be the same for the Staff. But as JuicePats said, it is not. The level of coaches are integers, they don't drop slowly to fractional values through time, they remain the same every week until they drop by exactly 1 at some RANDOM point.

So to sum up, when you want to have a level 10 trainer always, you keep him until he drops to 9, and only then you switch to the next level 10 that comes around. Nothing else makes any logical sense.

Salaries for different coaches who were originally "10" are not the same.

And this would naturally lead people to question whether a 10 coach with a higher salary was better than a 10 coach with a lower salary. But the BB's have said that there is no difference. One advantage of not having a fixed salary is that they can use the salary to regulate the number of "10" coaches in the game.

A long time ago, I heard rumors that the BBs were already working on a completely new system for the Staff. I don't know if it's true, and if it is I don't when would it be released. But I'm pretty sure it will happen eventually, because it is almost unanimous that Saff is the weakest part of the game right now. Several teams with the same coach is just weird.
