And what season(s) are you talking about? And about how many cheating users?

From your posts it seems EVEYBODY in EVERY country is a cheater.

I can't speak for other countries, but a normal way of doing this with 1 team is going into rebuilding mode, drop down a league to get a good draft position and to start training new players and not compete at the highest level and save money. Then when the trained players get better, use the saved money to buy some good players to compete for a number of seasons.

By doing this you're able to legally compete at the highest level, I know (38316) did it this way and is currently ranked #6 worldwide. So even though it might happen, it does not limit you as a fairplay manager.

I actually experienced it in other games on a scale that one doesn't even dare to imagine, so it is fairly easier to believe that it is done than it is to believe that it isn't done

There were users with 120+ accounts (4 of them officially accused, weirdly from 4 different countries - I can only imagine how many more, the small fish, got away)

I do agree though, that after a certain (extended) period of time, training players for either personal glory or a NT becomes realistically more fun than actually fiddling around with the rest of the game mechanics. But that period is of 5-6+ years of already playing the game and checking most objectives off the list. I am doing it in other games as well, but would have never done it to begin with (or for the first 4-5 years of game play)

I am kind of impressed with how under and over the rug this topic is though

Lot of people aren't capable to reach at least minor number of objectives at all and focus on training instead. This can come earlier then after 5-6 yrs of playing.

You say 10 and you also say you made up this number. I would like to look on this on my own. How can those teams be recognized? Low division and positive transfer balance? Selling expensive players to high div competetive teams? I was NT manager for a while and communicated with lots of managers on multiple platforms. I would like to know if someone made fool of me.

Except the first condition (competition - and in my case limited) I am typical farm team according to your description. I am trying to compete with players I mostly trained with few bought ones to fill the roster. It's not so easy to find multis according to your conditions:
never really competes - is he lame or farm?
signs in on a schedule - in this game you can sign in once a week to run your team
devotes all its moves and finances to training players - I am doing this for long seasons
all of it's schedule to training players - single position training of 3 players doesn't allow anythig else

There are some people who train AND try to compete. I'm not saying that doesn't happen.

For me this statement is turned inside out. I will say There are some people who has illegal multiple teams and farm players.

There are 137 teams in Czech Rep. and you claim there are 10 farm teams probably operated by one manager. Even if it's true it's minor number. It's not so plagueish as it seems from your statements.

And last thing - debate can be held without offending the opponent even on the internet.

I think what makes a farm, is that the trained players are way too good for the league (they're NT players), but the team is still not trying to win games in the competition. The sole purpose is to devote all resources of the team to make a couple super players for the country's NT, not to help the team win games at a high level.

If a team has 2-3 NT players (of a decent sized country with a decent WR), it should probably be a team that's at or near the top of the country's competition (depending on the size of the country). If the team is not near the top, it's probably a farm because it has the resources to compete but doesn't. It's not logical for a manager with 1 team to not compete at that point, so the logical explanation would be that it's a farm team of a manager that has (an)other team(s) that do compete.

Note that this description excludes rebuilding teams with NT players, because those teams do compete at some point (even if it's after a long period of devoting everything to training and not competing). A lame manager won't be able to train NT players, so those are excluded as well.
