Yes.

Different subject

Anyone have an idea as to what Team Akumas weekly merchandise would be?

Just done some sums on what their economy might be

Attendance 321900 (after ticket price increase and based on 100% attendance)
Merchandise 110000 (Guess based on Duffills presence in the National team)
TV contract 138633

Total income $620533

Expenses

Players salaries 609965
Staff salaries 20000 (They have to have a doctor of some ability)
Scouting 0
Cup Victorys 50000

Total expenses $629965

Equals a running loss of roughly $9432 per week which is not a lot.

Bit surprised at how well their depth players are going

They definately can go all the way and win

They would need to have about 700K in the bank after tomorrow mornings financial update, to supplement their trading losses and a week without attendances during Allstar week, and no cup income after the Allstars week, by my reckonings to financially survive the season

Unless they have considerably more than 700K in the bank, they will need a long cup run (to keep attendances up and to collect weekly cup money)

They need to have an excellent run with injuries (cant afford to have Duffill sitting on the sidelines)

They need most of their opponents to be intimidated by them and to surrender meekly.

Top spot for them in the league is not "absolutely vital" given the strength of their starting line up, but it would definately be preferential.

At some stage the transfer market could be extremely important to them and any deals will possibly draw some scrutiny


My gut feel is that Team Akuma is not sitting on millions in stashed cash, so it should be a really interesting finish to the season

merchandising figure is way off IMO... more likely to be around $60, max $70k.

I think he saved up quite a bit the last 2 or more seasons though, so losing $40k a week isnt such a big deal, especially if its offset by cup winnings.

who knows - maybe an idea is that he will win enough games to stave off relegation, and then tank such that he can win the cup. Im sure he could with that lineup.

He's line up is no where good enough to win the cup, it wouldnt even be as good as the team I had in div 2 in season 15 but I guess I was paying a couple hundred K a week more for mine

Merchandise wise I thought I read some where that if you had a player in the National team that you got a quarter of his salary in merchandise.

Given that my own merchandise was 62.5K last week, Im pretty confident that he'd be getting a 110K a week in merchandise

I don't like loosing and I still want to make the finals. So I do what I need to.

No problem with that gregc, did you end up having a role with the National team?

This is news to me. i didnt think that peeps merch dropped $25k suddenly due to nat team rep stopping. Certainly wasnt the case with the U21's.
mind you, ive been sick last few days, slept pretty much all day yesterday, so the old nog isnt working like it should.

He has a position ill be sending some stuff of to him tomorrow by bbmail ive just been busy scouting whole of the first week to no success ive only been able to get back to bainsy about the SFs though i do have a list of the guards for GregC to look after and some notes about what i want from them. So he will be getting that tomorrow or tuesday

He has a position

I got all excited for a moment as I thought you were talking about Ryder or Williams being brought into the National team

maybe in a few seasons

haha mate i am impressed at the level of your analysis

you come scarily close to hitting the truth on a lot of your points
but on some points you are very far off the mark

i'll let you guess which points are accurate and which ones aren't.. but i can confirm some of them are pretty much spot on!

haha mate i am impressed at the level of your analysis

Thanks mate for the compliment.

Cant remember whether it was Yoda or Koops but at one stage I was nick named the "evil accountant"

speaking of accountants......

you said ur pulling 100k profit a week

and you also said your merchandise was $62.5k

and you also commented that you had a decent trainer. which i can only assume exceptional due to my recommendations....

doing the sums.... carry the one, to the power of 7......
even if your doing no scouting, maxing out your arena, and given the fact that an Exceptional trainer has a minimum salary of at least $30k.... id say your numbers dont add up, unless you have a Basic PR-manager and Basic Doc.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but of course - $50k cup money per week. nice nice. yer see I dont cout that towards profit. thats pocket money for when my kids go to college.
mystery solved. :)

Yeh, i did count my cup winnings. The current Exceptional trainer i got about 2 or 3 weeks before the finals of last season. He goes up to just over 25k this week. I use a superior trainer with massage and most times just use a 2K a week PR. Im not scouting at present.

Do have a tough week this week and am at real risk of getting knocked out of the cup.

Id like to stay in the cup for another 2 or 3 weeks so that it doesnt impact on my attendances
Depending on weekly minutes after Avalon Jets tonight i might "hire" someone in for the cup game
