Lets talk again after your 15th season, when everything has been done and nothing is left to discover.

The stadium alone could offer some facilities to build, there could be youth teams, a D-league and many many other options. Nothing like that has been introduced in the last... 6 years or so? All we see are changes in the formula and thats not enough to remain relevant.

Don't give up dude, its a nice game for sure, we all have some things that we don't like the most, but it's all part of a game..

You have always a way to stay in BB.

Playing for trophies
Training young players
To get more and more $ to build a new team later
Train U21 players
Train NT player
Playing for a better division
To talk on forums
To help other, new users
To help the NT or U21 with scouting
...

Find your way to stay in this game, you don't need much time to spend on BB, but once when you're gone from the game, you'll never get your club back.

Where all those years for nothing?
You play this game from season 10, you're one of the old school guys ;D

Cheers!

You also, could make up interesting challenges with friends/strangers/stranger-friends.

For example, if you want. I challenge you next season, to whom can train a 6th man prospect to average 30 ppg for a season.

I too miss the 'folklore' not the cheating mind you, but a lot of creative and humorous minds have left this silly little game over the years who can play the hell out of this game, but who take it all tongue and cheek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsqJFIJ5lLs

It might be that I'm simply myopic so maybe you could expand on that grey area you mentioned with some concrete stuff, if you had any in mind.

1) The training system needs to be looked at properly not patched here and there. You need make it a little easier (maybe allow for 1 player to get training no matter what position he plays and no matter how many minutes he plays) on people and it needs to be faster at least at the beginning when you start training guys.
2) It would also help the sense of progression if training improvements were more visible than just pops when you break the barrier to the next level. You can do this openly with bars OR you could do it more covertly with the possibility of comparing the skills and sublevels to other groups of players (in your league, country, worldwide). So you know that today your PG is in the top 20 percentile for OD and in 4 weeks he's in the top 17 percentile
3) Providing advanced stats
4) Make arena building easier on the new managers (maybe a discount, like 20% off for 3 or 4 seasons)
5) Providing the possibility of customising your team. Such as allowing to change team shirts, the team stadium. As it is what do we have? The avatar? Heck for all I care you might as well code cheerleading into the game and provide an effect similar to the PR specialty if the cheerleaders a manager designs are particularly nice.
6) Design more ways for managers to interact outside Forums and the game chat. Perhaps taunts before a game
7) Better visibility of what's going on in the forums when there are new messages that may be of interest and you are not even signed up to a forum
8) Give more flexibility in organising parallel "fan" leagues also for non suporters. So if I want to organise a friendly game with a friend I'd love to. If I want to organise a league open to D2 teams to determine the best D2 team playing on Mondays I'd love to
9) Let managers to different leagues manage one or more bots (no roster changes of course) in a different league for free?

I can think of a lot of changes that could potentially make the game more engaging for people and that could give a sense of progression for new managers...
