There is simple solution - salary should be payed directly after transfer.

Unfortunatelly not... if a mutant costs 1 million and has 500k salary, the total cost to buy him for one week is 1,5million...
if you make the club to pay one salary at the moment of purchase the result will be that mutant prices will drop by that amount... so it will be 500k transfer fee + 500k salary + 500k salary for next week (the sum will not change)... it will only make things worse as the transfer fee will be lower so more team will be able to buy that player, even in lower leagues...

what I wrote already happened many years ago in another online manager game - Hattrick, believe me it will be the same way here if the same "solution" is implemented

I know Hattrick, this method solved problem in HT.
In games like HT and BB must be mechanism in which better player is less profitable for club and his price is less. Without this mechanism game will be worse, because first team who bought the best players will be invincible.

how? when? in what way?
I'd be delighted to see a simple solution like this solving a serious issue... but really, in HT it didn't help in any way.

For me problem is solved. You can buy mutant, but You must pay huge salary and therefore Your club become weaker and weaker than "normal" club.
But You have choice - better result or better economy. It's strategic decision and game is more interesting. You can eat cake OR have it. "Normal" club have chance to win in long term.
In BB You can buy mutant, use him and sell without payment. So You eat cake AND still have it. So other club can make "divine/legendary trick" every season.
In BB this method (payment directly after transfer) should work even better, because profits from trade are limited.

yes, you have a point that for the whole sequence the "divine trick" (used in HT as the highest possible skill level was "divine") is more expensive (1 salary more to be exact) if you have to pay 1 salary in advance...

still anybody can buy those mutant players to save their asses from relegation or win a trophy, for those guys a couple more bucks to pay won't matter, they are aware of the financial downside of the operation... and you'll see trophies (especially national cups) won only by muted teams... this is not the solution, only making the "divine trick" a bit more expensive

If You buy fantastic multiskill with huge price and reasonable salary it's more expensive too... So I don't see difference. Why one method is good and other is bad?
In both ways You must "break the piggy bank".
I repeat, in this game must be "soft border" and mutants are the best to do it.
If You have "normal" club You should have more cash so You have many methods to win with mutated club.

there is no way to win against a muted club in one single game other than to buy your own mutants... in a longer run of course there are better ways to spend your money...

you're acting like you never seen what happened in B3

If Your club is better managed in regular season You'll hold all aces in hand:
- better players
- more cash
- home advantage.
So You can buy less mutated mutants and it should be enough to win ;-)
And You have more cash to win bidding for player on TL.

better players.... no... your regular league leaders will be much weaker than mutants bought just to win against you

more cash... maybe... but that doesn't matter vs someone who doesn't care that much about spending what he has just to win that one/two games

home advantage... how does that matter in this thread? first of all there is no such thing as home advantage in last rounds of national cup, second it will not be enough to stop a muted team

again, did you ever see what happened in B3 and how it was handled by BBs?
