Well I think I've got my game shape pretty much figured out, I'm able to keep my main guys at around strong-prominent. The words of encouragement make me feel a little better.

If you can get out of div 5, you should go for it. Even with a less skilled team, you should be able to stay afloat with good gameshape and enthusiasm management. I'm talking about ending in 5-7 th place and avoiding relegation. Even if you do relate, you should be able to find a good draftee to train and lead your team for the next run to div 4.

Prominent GS will make you better than 100% of bb managers. :P

Seriously though, Promote and you'll be fine. You can up ticket prices and with the promotion bonus you can expand the arena. You'll be much stronger financially as Beener said. You will likely have money to acquire a guy or two that can keep you afloat and avoid relegation as well while still making more per week than you currently do and training those young guys.

Manage GS and Enthusiasm and use the extra money wisely and relegation won't even be a concern for you.

Good Luck.

Another key that many lower division managers can't seem to figure out is that you shouldn't try to win every, single game. Planning to lose some games will become a very effective weapon which will help you both avoid relegation and eventually promote.

You should promote. The promotion bonus, increased TV money and attendance boost will generate enough money to improve your arena and roster to stay in the league. You've got a whole season to prepare for a possible relegation series, which should be enough if you're an active manager (which I think you are seeing you post in the forums).

Worst case scenario; you use your money to improve your arena and roster, end up relegating but having a high draft pick because of a bad season, which could end up with a nice trainee. When you're back in D5 you're surely stronger than the opposition because of your improved arena and roster.
