I am not asking for 10 million for the start, gtfo if you dont want to add something useful to the discussion.

I am training three players. Figure out yourself who those might be.

It will take around four to five seasons (from start) to contend in Div II, possibly three if the salary floor was non-existant

If I was in a bigger country, I had competitive minor leagues and could enjoy playing other teams of similar strenght. Its not about reaching DIV I and winning there, its about reducing the gap from new to old teams. Here I get my fair share of blowouts and no fun at all from games.

Please don't forget that the teams sitting on top in Austria potentially make more money than me, simply because the league is not strong enough to force them to dig deep into their savings. So catching up in a short time is an illusion.

When I was in DIVI I made around 1-200k per week, despite being a contender.

BC Wels, in your league, started in s18. By season 20, he was a PO team in II after having spent a full season in III so making less than what you are making now. Currently, he is 10-7 with a 100k roster which is probably still under the salary floor. So you could have a more interesting season, you are chosing power-gaming, the game is not forcing you.

in Bundesliga :
BB Chicago Bulls, the leader in conf 2 started in s12 and has reached the PO every season since s18.
Lightning Ravens, 2nd in conf 1 started in s13 and was in the finals last season.
Somehow, they have caught up. Quick. Quicker than that would be very quick.

Not sure many top teams have savings, this has changed with the stop put to the rising market.

Out of your 4 players, I don't know who you are training for the future of your franchise. Who is the 3rd slot ? Is it the 24 yo with a salary of 3.7k or the 27 yo with a salary of 3k ?
You are not training Bacardi for your franchise. Your will trade him for more cash.
Only with Kastner you are building something.

You are free to play this way but then it's normal that you get bored.

If you were in a bigger country, after 1.5 season, you would be in the same situation, in a bot league, winning every game or at the first competitive level getting beatings after beatings. Only it could last longer.

This topic is a joke.

I started in D.IV and needed 8 seasons to reach D.I. You will need 2-3 seasons with far weaker team than mine at the time of promotion. When I promoted, I had a team that would beat the leading team in your league by 40 points or more probably. So I don't know what are you complaining about...I mean, you were able to double your arena seats in less than one season - I needed three seasons to do that. What a crybaby.

When everything else fails, let's resort to calling names, eh? Nothing's changed...
