So what your saying is that in those 4 seasons the best managers where the seasons that the best german managers joined the game, and on all the other 13 seasons, all the managers just does not know how to build a team?
Sounds not realy reliable... saying the least.
I never said all the managers in the past 13 seasons didn't know how to build a team, you did as quoted above.
I said that the managers who joined early and remained on top are there for a reason, because they are the best. And they are the best by virtue of having a plan and executing it to get favourable results. Newer teams have already surpassed a fair amount of managers who joined in the first 4 seasons. But to beat the best?
Let me simplify it. Think of it as a race and everyone is running their own racecar. Obviously, if you start earlier you get the advantage of running a certain distance before other racers start their engines. Now, if you're slow (Not a good manager), faster racers will eventually overtake you. If you're fast, and am at least as fast as the racer trying to catch you, the gap will always be there. You will just have to wait until he makes a mistake before you can try to overtake. You don't go to the race stewards and ask that the guy in front has to drive slower.
But in BB there is a point where newer teams will compete on equal terms. It's the economic tipping point of zero return. If you get your roster to the point where you're paying so much in salaries that you're barely making a profit, you're already competing on equal footing with the best teams. Except those running non-sustainable deficit economies.
