I think the reasoning behind it being easier for a manager from a small country is that the pool of managers is smaller. Hence, when a national player comes available on the TL, there are less managers from your country to outbid.  I don't know if I agree with this because bids are still global, but I think that is what the BBs are thinking. Maybe.
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                    Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
