In this side of the division over the last couple seasons all the teams have ben cranking up the investment in players and their wages. When one or two teams do it the pressure increases on the others and I think the tipping point reached where if u want to stay in the division you can't do it on really small salaries. I wonder whether this kind of thing took place in the ebl long ago in the big 8, but for some reason hasn't happened in their great 8?
I only spent so much money on players and wages instead of arena because my opponents did!

good stuff, mines a bot too. however tricky setting a lineup to get good minutes on my players for GS. a blow out always messes up my coach tactics!

ill try to write something for you guys :) if i do a press release ill also post it in a new thread here in case im not on any of your buddy lists!

I'm not a supporter, but i still regularly check buzzerbeater... It's just down to cost!
Would happily read your press releases however!

I've also got a home draw against a weak DIII team, hoping that my stricty follow depth chart instructions are followed to the letter so the guys I need to get 48 mins get them...

I fancy a long cup run this year to get the ranking up. Last year I lost in OT at Swindon Bulls. They were still treating the games as a training exercise, so I still regret not going crunch time and knocking them out.

i did the opposite and had a long cup run, but my league performance suffered. I was very surprised swindon didnt play harder against you and equally surprised you didnt fancy your chances of taking them out. That would have changed the incentives for the other EBL teams and potentially how their leagues turned out in the end. It would also have opened it up for a division II winner!

I will see how this season goes in the cup. Ive got to start to to better in the league to build up my fan base and justify higher arena prices (and fill my arena too!).
It depends laregely how the draws go, but lets wait and see
im glad you are still managing, ive noticed a couple of the other managers who were here when i promoted a while ago have since lost interest and quit, which is a big shame.
its only a matter of time til we get a shot at EBL glory :)
