The difference between my high and low arena income in the recently-concluded third part of the season (after interconference) is just about fifty thousand. My merchandise revenue is roughly 40k per week, on average. My salaries have been more than 200k per week. I am not about to go out firing staff for some tens of thousands and then having to go out and spend more than that replacing them - it's just stupid, especially when we're talking about an amount that is inconsequential compared to other revenue and expenses.
ah...?
Once in a while you need to replace your staff member anyhow.
It is about once in a season or two.
The payment you need to pay a staff member is calculated accroding to both his salary and the purchase value.
Selling him earlier does not mean you are losing the amount of the purchase.

Doing as I suggested will give a net profit of tens of thousands. If that is something that you do not care about, I can sell you each season a bench warmer and you can pass me those extra tens of thousands that you do not care about (at Div-3)

Well, I for one think this suggestion is clear. Now we just need to see if it will be implemented or not.

Does anyone think there's something to add here?

I just feel that this long ping pong doesn't allow people to really comment and read you suggestion, if they like it or not. So I just suggest to stop it. I think your suggestion is very clear and that the discussion went a bit overboard. So maybe a step back will just help here...

I agree, many posts involving Pini have become too large with a lot of posts, that state the same things. As it takes too long to read with no new info actually in it, it kills the intrest on the topic in hand.

People should try to keep it short and not post 20 post by themselves in an hour...

Nice of you to add a smiley but it's not funny. You are damaging other users experience with your behavior...

Staff and players are two completely different things. In real life players don't get paid to play for their national teams barring bonuses, but why massager, coach and doctor do?

The coach/trainer coaches/trains the players.
The doctor has one group of clients... the players.
etc.

As long as the players are out of the payroll, their assistance staff should be out just as much.

If you can't see how staff distinguishes itself from players, then I don't know what to say...You can see plenty of evidence in real life. Players have huge salaries, so they can survive without some paychecks (during lockout, Kirilenko turned down the salary in CSKA and Tony Parker took a much lower paycheck in Asvel) while staff cannot.

If it helps you, try to imagine players as millionaires and staff as regular, blue-collar workers.

imho the situation here is quite normal for basketball in europe, the player usually have contract for the saison who expand for the Playoff where there usually earn more with bonuses.

The staff have a year contract since PR work is done during the offseason too, and trainer prepare and plan the upcoming season. And for the doctors, they are usually busy in the offseason, since many pro wait till off season till there get there threatment and work with painkillers during the season.
