good luck. when Calum returned from an extended stay on the godforsaken moors of Scotland (November 2015), he had some $20 million in the bank. then I essentially spent $9 mil of my $20m on trainees, so down to $11m, in Div 4, inflating TL and no players, I had work cut out to get to NBBA again. I decided to spend a decent amount on salary-efficient players who I could (hopefully) sell for similar prices when I grow out of them. i.e. promote as sustainably as possible. I also committed to buying US only (but that's gone out of the window recently). It's going ok, but have ~$6m, will likely promote into Div II this season, and the who knows?
My original goal was to save up enough to win NBBA and compete in BBB (brian told me it was the only way a USA team would have a chance), but because of the TL, it doesn't look like that will be possible. If I can do it, I'll settle for having 3+ NT players and being competitive in NBBA. this was from an interview with Chekreyes about this time last year.
he just dropped $6.5 million on a player he is hoping will finally get him back to the NBBA. Calum may yet do it, but there are five teams in DII.4 that are currently ranked higher than he is nationally.
make of this what you will.
