Possible pros:
- small nation managers might welcome the influx of new teams, boosting competition levels
- might help reduce cheating
- doubles the fun for active managers
- increases BB income, increasing the advertisement and development budget

Possible cons:
- some managers might not like to see foreigners in their country/league
- Supporters might have a direct advantage over others by having double the amount of matches to test their strategies on (even though they already have Private Leagues to do that)
- some countries might use the feature to collude in farming schemes

EDIT:
Some additional proposals (as stated here (254079.213)).

Issues and possible solutions:
1. draft pick ordering enables second teams to tank and hog all the best trainees
- give draft priority to local teams
2. secondary team used to overbid primary teams leaguemates (and the other way around) in the transfer market
- make that illegal and impossible to do
3. secondary team used to overbid primary teams bad bids (and the other way around)
- make that illegal and impossible to do
4. secondary team used to buy and retire possible NT players
- manually transfer list the intentionally fired players which weren't free transfered automatically, just like we do now

Possible new rules:
12. New Manager Bonus rule. Secondary teams do not get the 4 initial weekly $50 000 bonuses. The experience acquired by the managers in their primary teams should compensate for that.

Fixing all problems at once (while creating some new): second teams are teams with female players.

I believe supporters have a big enough advantage by being able to play in private leagues (and all the other features of course). If you make too many options only available to supporters the rest of us will feel like we are playing a demo version of the actual game...

Is this also the place to discuss the idea, or we should continue the discussion in that other thread?

I would like to throw my two cents on the no B3 for secondary teams rule. I don't disagree, since there are some tiny micronations out here. It would allow teams to get to B3 in a few seasons. But it would decrease the playability of the second teams. B3 is basically the highest achievement of this game, I'm not sure if it's cool to disable it for second teams.

Can anyone tell how does in work in other games? Hattrick, Trophy Manager?

I agree to this new feature. I am really looking forward to using it.

the biggest pro it would have should be the rise of transfered players prices. Since more teams equals more demand. so basicly in a short terms players prices would go up, that would make all the managers happy. but in the long term, considering people will use their second teams to train players in some time we could get the economical situation where players are even more worthless than are now.

I would not like to see foreign managers competing in my country, probably because I am in a macronation and live in clover there. Utopia option is better for me, that would also satisfy micronation managers needs. Except for this, a big yes from me.

i like the idea a lot to have women teams as secondary teams for supporters.

but anyway another point against secondary teams is that it gives a huge boost to small nation which share a mothertongue with a big Bb nation. (for example austria, england idk some little countries where english is spoken) other micronation won't have a similar advantage.

Women BB players? Seriously?

Who is going to pay extra for a WNBA-type second team. Plus they would have a waste time/money/resources to make a face generator for women players.

Let's be realistic here.
