LOL.
I'll leave it to the BBs to weigh up the majority/minority benefits/penalties ;-).

It's your winning personality :-) Ok, that's definitely off topic. I'm banning myself from this thread!

the thing that is clear from the news (in my opinion) is that they will implement a salary increase for players that are not from your home country.

Also, we be making good better use of player nationalities, and domestic players will be slightly (typically 10-20%) better economically than foreign ones.

i have no problem with the rule as such as long as you have a choice to use home grown players or not. i just cant see people in small countries like for example japan to have enough decent acceptable trainees to have a choice. this means it does give an unfair advantage to people that can make the choice.

I reckon that the changes will be implemented anyway to make sure a team from the smaller countries surely never will win the BBB. Imagine a country from a small team win and all the abuse that breaks loose from all the players claiming that players in small countries have an easy ride!!! (yes sarcasm here)

Are you saying that that div4 in England has different formulas that div4 in Spain? Also meaning that Div1 in England is different than Div1 in Spain? If this is so than this game would have no meaning. In different formulas case there is no way to be the top team unless you are in the biggest country.
Ofcourse you can show me a team that has 11k arena in Div4 with the same prices as you and can get the same attendance as you.

i have posted this prove before when the italians were complaining about arena sizes. look at the overal picture please. stadium revenue doesnt solely come from stadium size. the germans have the biggest stadiums by a mile. but if you look at their ticket prizes they are significantly lower than their italian counterparts. I havent done the full maths, but I doubt there is not a big difference in arena revenue if you would sit down and do the maths for all top countries and their top divisions.

and no, i am not saying that div IV in England has different formulas. I did ask you though. There are a lot off things I have no clue about and I believe most people dont know about because noone off us have the correct formulas. I could imagine that a top team in spain or italy or usa has more money to spend than a top team in japan. Yes even despite the increased salaries the real top teams have. However this is just a hunch... not based on facts. I dont have the facts and like i said doubt many have any...

ps all i do know is that the winning teams in the BBB have been teams from the top leagues or read big leagues...

i think if im not mistaken

the way i understand local players will be 10-20% better economically is that they are cheaper by 10-20% on their salary

i could be wrong but the way i understand is, if a normal australian player who has 5 sensational skill level guard on his needed skills for example will command a salary of 35-40k will be cheaper by 10-20% from their original salary if they play in australia.

so your foreign players base on the context that was given, will still have the same salary

Just unbanning myself for a second to point out that although salary is the obvious target here, the adjustment could come from tweaks to fan revenue and merchandising instead. The idea being that fans feel a closer bond with home grown players than imports.
