Nah, probably a bad comment. Just that we keep getting the bouncing Div 2 teams - Mango, Vis and now you. Which takes deep pockets to promote against. We might have a mass tank on our hands or is it just me contemplating that? I'd hate repromoting from D4 back to III.12 though

Ah ok. Mass tank works in some ways. I can just see loads of teams around "saving up". I'm not sure if I like that the game promotes that too much. In reality, too many seasons of "saving up" will actually put the team out of pocket.

From my observation, I don't think there is too many more teams tanking or saving up, a whole bunch of teams on the red side were doing it all of last season, and a few before that. I think we might just have a few on the blue joining them this season, this has created a bit of a lull.

Maybe everyone will save and then make a decision after the All-Star game to either invest in and draft high or buy up and compete.

I think on the most part, most of the teams don't have a definitive strategy for the season that they are hard at executing... am I wrong?

A few teams lately have promoted on the back of some dosh and a bought team, I don't think the majority of their teams were balanced enough to compete in Div II, certainly without a 20 000 seat stadium minimum, you would struggle to payroll even a team to hold 4th or 5th, less, contend.

It sounds like you're saying that it's been happening for a while, which is what I said.

Some people have some weird ways of tanking...

Yeah, I think your view is correct.

As far as the weird ways of tanking. Like I said, I think it comes from no solid plan, which leaves them conflicted. by the time they decide, their half assing has cost them...

I agree with what you're saying about actual strategies.

It's my experience and, I think everyone would agree, that the teams that promote from this league are run by some of the better managers in this game. And yes, I am including myself in that list.
