I might be wrong but you can't just delete your account but if you bankrupt you automatically get a new team without needing to sign up again nowadays.

Going bankrupt would take too long for the amount of time before the new season. I don't want to delete my account, but it would be the only realistic way.

You would be better off promoting than restarting. The promotion bonus and extra revenue will have more financial benefit.

As above, spend every cent you have on infrastructure. The first 12 months (minimum) of a newly created team should be focused on not spending money on anything that doesn't help you make more money.

It doesn't necessarily mean it was a team-abandoning mistake what you did. Surely things could've been better, but there are some nice things to consider.

- If you win the league you will get + $550k ($100k for winning the finals + $450k promotion bonus).
- New teams don't pay salary floor. So if you clear most of your high salary players before the Monday financial update (sell/fire) your finances will look much better.
- in Division 3 your TV revenue will be probably +30% higher.
- in the first 1/3 of the Season, promoted teams experience boost in the arena attendance and fans will tolerate your team losses. You will be selling out your current Arena seats at higher prices (maybe close to max prices for Bleachers and Lower Tier since you haven't upgrade them at all; I would have liked to see you upgrading those departments instead of the Luxury ones entering higher Division, but it is what it is). Obviously you should put focus on your Arena going forward.
- If you win at least one game during the first 1/3 of the Season, you will not experience arena boycott entering the second third of the season. You may be able to construct a roster capable of getting a win (or two) in your first 7-8 games.
- About trainees: You don't necessarily need to start your training with 18-19 years old players and high potential. There may be some 21 years old players available, who are star-perennial allstar potential, and with already developed set of skills that are ready to transitioning to a different training type. Obviously not all of your trainees need to be starters for your league games - some trainees are for scrimmage games.

So all this may incentivize you to start thinking about your team management, instead of abandoning it. And who knows, one season playing in Division 3 might end up being a nice boost when you enter your third managerial season.

How useful! This really put things into perspective for me going forward.

As soon as I can, I will sell off my higher salary players before Monday. And as far as the arena, after learning from others about the long term of this game, I realize it is to upgrade it as much as possible, as early as possible. This has really helped remoralize me moving forward.

Thanks!

That's such a good story! Glad you share it with us.
