Your math isn't quite right either: if your current trainer earns 30k a week, and you replace him with a 20k a week one, the savings will be about 130k over the next 14 weeks: you'll pay about 160k (assuming we are talking about both lvl. 5's) less in weekly salary, but your old trainer wants 30k extra when you sack him..

I hope this helps you plan when to replace your current trainer.
Cheers



and the 2% growth differential a week on $20k vs $30k will add a little more as well ;-) or is that take off a little more?? perhaps someone can clarify.. do 2 negatives = a positve??!!

Well, that's taken into account: a trainer that starts out at 20k will make 320k in wages over 14 weeks, while a 30k trainer will make 480K (hence the initial 160k difference over 14 weeks and not 140k). But thank you for pointing out my post didn't have enough information on how I came to these numbers! I hope this clarifies it :)

I had to pay 60 quid for a pair of reeboks the other day. Outrageous, don't they know there's a recession on?

Dude, that's pretty bad. When i need a pair I make it coincide with a trip to the USA and hit the outlets that are scattered about in the middle of nowhere. (I'm for Scotland btw). But jees, the exchange rate now make that approach even worse. I think i'll just have to do without new shoes......or my frequent trips to the US. haha.

Ok man that was unnecessary snide remark. I agree with you. It's just that before I post anything that might help someone I try to recalculate, reread my stuff so that I give the best info I can. I wasn't criticizing him but just wanted him to maybe do a better job next time. Sorry if my comment came out wrong.

Getting back to my calculation. I based it on last season. My coach this week will get 30k. Every other week before that he got 500 less then the previous one. So 16x30k is an exaggerated number but I just want to point out that:
460k > what you pay 30k 5lvl coach.
320k < what you will pay 20k 5lvl coach.
Seem that its worth to change the coach (in my case) when I'll have to pay for him less then 140k. Otherwise I will loose on that transaction.

I also have a question regarding the coach lvls. Do they have any kind of sublevels? Is lvl 5 coach (when you hire him) that earns 15k as efficient as the one that earns 28k? Is the salary simply random or does it reflect the coaches sublevels if there is something like that?
Anyone?

But need to take into acount also that you must pay transfer price for a coach, aproximately 150k.

I used 22 weeks instead of 22 games over 14 weeks. That's why my math was off. I've always enjoyed English more anyway.


well i dont think you are that good at math. having a coach that earns 30k per week at the end of season means that you will loose 160k per season (if you had an 20k/week coach). So unless you pay for that guy less then 160k then its worth it. In case of the guy that you commented on its16x14k so its less then 224k and thats not even near


Looks like your punctuation and grammar aren't that good. ;)

Thinking doesn't hurt...

You forgot to mention that we're talking about trainers, not coaches ;)

I am not sure there are 'off-peak' hours. Since this game is global, its high noon for someone's team somewhere in the world. I would be interested to know which time zones around the world have the most/least users. Unfortunately this might require lots of thinking, and I am afraid it will hurt.

I was doing some monitoring fro a while on a post-it note, but I lost the post-it note. If you want to do a time share with me, it would certainly make things easier.
