You'd better hope you avoid playing Tide of Fire and someone else goes to the effort of putting him out of the cup for you, and probably hope that the team playing you in the final has a player missing through injury too.

Meanwhile, lets just all go on letting Vecx win again. Maybe he'll get tired one day and then all the chickens can have a go.

last competitive season for me, I am missing the thrill of training new players and since my boys are in their twilight, I'll let them see retirement out in the team and use them to inspire some youngsters

Well, we might see the Chicken Hearted Conference come out of the coop into the daylight.

I'm sure we will see the rise of the red giants.

Dragons can be beaten...

If that's what you saw, I suggest reading lessons. I'm not asking for help, just a level playing field.

Having been on both sides of my own statement I still agree with the principle it states. Each team has to do their own thing, what is best for them; however there is a significant cumulative effect of throwing games against the top team. When I wrote that, almost half of Tata's games had been thrown, providing his starters with easy minutes and his PD with ample beefing. The income differential was over 100k and the easy games allowed him to save players in the league and cruise through the cup without hurting his player gameshape.

Now it is my turn. Admittedly this season, being my last competitive one, I've pushed the salaries to the limit. I am making a tiny profit per week, enough to eek out one throw of the dice at B3 for me. I've learned a lot during the seasons at b3, increasing my knowledge of the game, players and tactics. To give you all an idea of how 1.05 million salaries is possible to make a profit with, my staff costs are 60k, scouting at 10k and I get 210k merchandising through my two bigs having grown up in the team and now playing NT. The only way to stop my team winning the EBBL title this season save for major injuries, is to en masse, crunch fest me. The income differential combined with my burning the team out financially in one season will make it very hard for everyone. I'm sorry, but hopefully it means we (I hope it's ok to use we) get an English flag into the knockouts of b3 with a shot and a strong finish.

Peace

You're very good at reading clearly. I never said anything was against the rules. And as for doing what Vecx did, I made exactly the same point he did when everyone was throwing games against Tata as they were then known. I know you know this, you were there then too.

You really seem to be missing the point. Vecx is being handed the title. He doesn't just make more money than everyone else, he makes a fantastic sum more. Its impossible for one person to catch him while the rest of league rolls over to have their belly tickled. (I repeat belly ticking is not against the rules)

Maybe you will just need to bide your time until next season or the following one when his time goes through a restructuring.

I could bide my time for 30+ seasons I suppose. At some point you need to compete.

I agree with my old rival Mickramus, one must always do what's best for the team. That's all that matters!
Pax. ;) lol

PS. Always respect. ;)

I don't really disagree with that.

I just dont think its in anyone's interest to allow one team to dominate as we're doing now. And what was best for my team was to repeat Vecx's rant. ;)
