Yes I had a look at your Irishman and he looks fantastic. As I said I have picked up a bunch of guys because I have been too tired to sort them properly I will leave it for about a week. One purchase I made was HORRIBLE and will cost me a LOT but some of the others were fairly good. The aim for now is to stabilise and ensure I can survive the season. I don't have an easy cup game so will have to save my big guns for that game which sucks a lot but I think I will be needing that 50k for hopefully 3-4 weeks to get me through the short term cash squeeze.

When I was in division III I was making about $160k a home game so you did a fantastic job getting $200k. Hopefully soon I will be at least back up to around $150k, if not there will be trouble.

Make 200k a week and soon you will be able to do anything!

Yeah, that's what I figured - if I can get some cash in, and train up my trainees, then I'll be in a better spot to move into II and be able to compete. My team from last season would have been good, and would have probably been around 4-6 in II (based on my scouting of the four divisions in II), but I don't think it would have been good enough to challenge for a while.

Good luck in the cup - it's always nice when someone from III goes deep. I'll be out first round this season, sadly.

Wow you really are a camel of your word. You promised a rebuilding season and it couldn't be clearer than a 44-0 team going 0-2 . I think it is a smart strategy though, you have to be moving forwards in this game or you can end up stagnant. If I can't get out this season I will be forced to do something similar and sell at least my two big guys then consolodate and train for a bit. I just hope my cash reserves can last this season.

It looks like a couple of teams are doing really well, Cleveland and lakermen are no surprise but GoldCoastSH is doing very well with their new players. It was great to see Massive Ballers get their first win in division III.

I have had to spread my team quite thin this week with three games against reasonable division III opponents I have been a bit lucky to get through. I hope my luck continues in the cup. Although while I feel lucky to win, losing my starting C, who Ranked 3 in the League III.6 Season 11 MVP vote with 96 points, last night to injury for two weeks wasn't so good.

Good luck to everyone in the cup. Represent!

I'm playing a good Div II team in the cup, so I'm screwed, that's for sure!

And yeah, I'm rebuilding. I would still warn the rest of the league not to take me lightly... ;)

I'm expecting to get beaten pretty convincingly in the cup tonight, I'll have to rest some key players that have played a lot of minutes already this week. Happy about the first league win though.

So, I've got about $3 million coming in shortly. What should I do with it? I'm thinking I just sit on it for ages, unless anyone else has any ideas.

Your money is in ca-ching!

I think you should hire a level 7 trainer, doctor and pr man...jk.

Ok, really this is a great opportunity to pick up an outstanding trainee. They are going cheaply at the moment and even $1 million would get someone that will surely be destined for greatness one day with awesome starting skills and potential around MVP.

I've been looking for a while but the guys I've thought were worth it have been going for $2-$3 mill and I don't want to spend quite that much on one guy. I've bought a level 6 trainer, and two great trainees, and i think i'll keep the rest of the cash!

Tilman Salambo (14720619) Point Guard as I sent to you looks like a great trainee. A guy like him is a fantastic long term investment. Yeah unless you are seriously rich or want to train a guy for the NT I would be staying far away from $2-3 million trainees. Then again SASTROOPERS have an amazing NT guy and their merchandise is 94k a week which pays back their investment in Smeltz, their trainee very fast.

My (longer) term desire would be to get one Aussie NT player and one foreign NT player. I think O'Daire should be able to make the Irish team fairly easily as there's a shortage of managers training PGs in Ireland, but as for the Aussie guy - that's a few seasons away yet.

Looks like XBB has decided to follow the same path as me, he's selling off all his good players!
