Sounds good! I'm looking forward to some good competition!

It's amazing how much salaries jump by division.

In III it seems 300k is the absolute maximum, in II, it's around 450k, right now I'm running a 700k roster and still making money!

Poor me, my trainee went from 97k salary to 155k, ouch!

Last season, I was losing 89k a week towards the end... Massive gamble but it paid off.

At least I go into div2 with an already competitive roster.

Sorry everyone else, but my wishes are with PP this season.

yeah 302k is huge
im guessing pp will be trying to make a deep cup run for the additional funds to keep his team afloat, and then go into an economical loss season for a strong push for the championship

if he has some $$$ saved up, and im sure he does, it will work out. It will be painful if he doesnt get the championship this season though :S

im not 100%, but im pretty sure HAX was making a loss last season too..318k roster!

Yes it will be painful but I am getting used to it..

I really don't know what to do this season, I'd like to think that 3rd time is the charm but I don't know. Thanks for your faith in me Akuma re $$ saved up, but I have to admit, I threw everything at winning last season and I didn't - what hurts is it was a battle of wits with hax and I lost.. Ooohh I hate that! :)

I will reassess my financials after a home game and a week of the cup. But I am putting it out there, I am in dire financial straits!

Also thanks for the support HAX - hope you enjoying DII easy street :)

Actually I think Xerxes and Mango landed in easy street, HAX landed in the cauldron!

You're probably right as both are in the same division as me, and with their addition the division becomes much tougher.
Last season there were clearly a few teams in tank mode.

This season the teams appear a lot more even then in previous seasons. II.2 has a number of teams ranked from the 30's to the 50's and only a couple in the around the 20's - 30's. Not sure what the make up is on other leagues, but I think II.2 is tougher now with those two in it.

I'm loving how your are all promoting contenders pulling in the money to even remotely support teams of massive budget and i'm struggling to manage my already tiny roster and still losing. =P

how could you forget me yoda :p

...and peaceNroll landed in a fantastic position to survive.

Indeed, I don't think I'd have survived II.1! Btw, congratulations to Mu for making it into the u21 NT

this surprises me a lot

according to the ratings 2/3 is a lot tougher than any other div with 2/1 only 2nd best but still way ahead of 2/3 and then 2/4
