Yeah. My arena houses 16000 people but I made the mistake of adjusting the prices too high at the start of the season hence why I have horrible attendance and am losing 60k a week. In 2 weeks my prices will go back to being reasonable and i'll start making some money again I hope. -500k is when you have to sell off your players isn't it? If so i'll be cutting it close.

Yikes Leeroy! You're flirting with the 500k line already?
Yeah thats when you need to start selling. But each week you're below 0 you also get charged interest.

Best of luck to you this season man, I have my fingers crossed for you and possum facing off in an epic finals!

Boy I'm glad im not facing you this season, thats a scary looking roster with plenty of future considering they are all pretty young. I gotta start thinking about selling off my old farts soon.

I don't mean to be offensive (please forgive me if anyone thinks I am), but I reckon you got a good (slightly easy) run out of 3.6. It was the easiest season to do it in. Chasers tried to come back too early, I had just left, and Akuma was still building up for a blowout the following season.

You're probably right mate, but I actually made a few acquisitions that year to push myself from just making up the numbers in the playoffs to actually challenging.

Yeah there was no Goldfish, and many teams were positioning themselves for later runs, so I guess I just timed my run well. Mmmmmm gave me a good run as did PP but, yeah there wasn't the depth that there was in previous or subsequent years.

Nothing wrong with timing your run mate, that just makes you a willy manager. I'm doing the same thing this season, JBallers made a push for it last year as did PP, akuma and dragonZ. Most of them are rebuilding now and trying to save a little cash so this is definitely my season to win or burn out trying.

Div II or bust!

The depth was there just not put into players at that time. If anything, it was lucky but it was also good play, too.

I guess I agree with you all. Its the combo of timing and luck you never know Leeroy one of us could make some big purchases at the end of the year if you are the only legit contender and we think we are a chance.

Of course as has kind of been said this could back fire and once again set the team back a year or two behind other potential promoters.

In my opinion, luck isn't a part of this game.

Injury? --> your doc isn't good enough OR your opponent has some aggressive players

Other managers making a better run than you at the title? --> You gotta check their team history, transfer history so you can give yourself an idea about where they stand

Trainees not ready? --> Timing!

Though you can fail and bounce back. There is probably no perfect management.

I'd love to see you analyse koops relegation series in the ABBL and the season that followed
