Thanks for the info.

I can't deny that small communities managers get an economic advantage but it allows to outweigh some inconveniences not shared by bigger communities (smaller draft pool, NT competitiveness). With this merge, almost all the advantages will be lost while the inconveniences will be kept. Is the aim of this deep change to chase us away? This way we won't bother anyone no more!

I completely agree with E5. And what about identity and culture? Not to mention that we do not speak the same language as countries like Morocco Algeria or Egypt. These countries are geographically very distant. This is a very bad idea.

I assume you'll still have your own national forums and national team since nothing has been said about that.

The draft (for the U21 and NT) is a problem, but hopefully they will help you with that.

Amen...

you right !

All team in D2 Africa are safe !

About the coding part, Ryan explained more or less the situation, so I don't think I have to repeat all again. Coding time and difficulty is important to take decisions nowadays. I'm not a developer, so I don't take part in the discussions involving these issues.

And what you say about the forums would make sense if language wouldn't be a problem, but it would be for some managers.

In fact I do think a good global poll sent to the users (not in forums) would be better, but as I've said, it's not the current policy and I don't see them changing it.

To balance things, i have to say that i am pleased with this african league coming.

I am very surprised E-5 to see you unhappy. I remember your position but the BB have to make a choice : merge the league and the cup or do nothing. Merge the cup but not the league was not possible, you were the only one manager to propose that during the debate.

You have won the last 13 championships in your country (last defeat in a game in South Africa was during season 26 in 2013 irl). How can you be happy with so little competition ? Anyway i am not happy with the senegalese league and i can't wait to compete with managers from all around africa. I know others in Senegal are too

I should not have said "not possible" but it is obvious that this option is more complicated to put in place than simply merging leagues together

Like E-5, i still play this game after years because of NT and BBB. But let's be honest, we managers from small countires can not ask to have it all. Our leagues are boring but it's easy to save money and to qualify every season for the BBB. It seems to me that it would not be fair to keep our advantages and ask for yours as well (more competition & fun between human managers with an african cup)

Last thing, you would not be concerned about the consequences the merging may have on the draft if you were not South-Africa U21 headcoach. I know so called "micro-nations" are another way for managers from big countries to have fun in this game. So you're defending your interests here not ours. Don't understand me wrong we have french managers running Senegal's NTs for a long time and we have no problem
