It looks like the tables were sorted according to squad strength, not ranking. Who knows ? This may be the way the Devs want it to happen.

That'd actually be a much better way of doing it. I think it's well recognised that ratings are all over the place.

Um... we've a bot in our league, so I hope you stay up.

Ah good aul III.4, many a season I spent in that league! Do boards proud The only team still there is blues. They are a great team but the manager wasn't very active last season.

I'll miss III.4

I was finally getting the hang of it :P
Yeah, Blues have a great team as Ajeff says, but he's well worth busting out a sneaky LTNT on etc because he's a bit all over the place, I've got a few wins with a much weaker squad just by chancing my arm. Similarly he's absolutely destroyed me when he's put his mind to it.

Scrummage is beatable... 3 out of 3... tho he let me win the playoffs, not sure about the league games but we were WNWIM in that also, but can't be sure he put out best team/tactics!

He's a sneaky one!:p

crisco10 · 03-05-2011 9:34am

Ah jaysus, just saw my salaries increased by 25k this year! that puts me 15k a week outta pocket compared to last year.

Interesting times indeed until I get contentment up

eoferrall · 03-05-2011 10:13am

looking at finances and salaries went up 21k...minor sponsor is 20k...and then membership increase...making less of a loss this season so far than I was on zero game weeks! :cool:

lvl 5 could be set up to blow that out of the water!!

Gelio · 03-05-2011 11:39am

well I'm about to get kicked out of the offsite for going for Georgian manager. Wouldn't mind except I was doing it for the experience. Ah well. I'm off to face the fireing squad :P

Will they let you back in after the term?

Gelio · 03-05-2011 1:41pm

I'm not even going to go for it anymore. TBH they aren't worried that I'm going to steal information its just a sort of punishment for going for it. To some this is more than just a game it seems :rolleyes: Thanks for the support anyway eoferrall

If that is what you think, maybe you should read the thread again.

Aiee, salaries up 28.7k. Income up 30k (moved to div 2).

Still not sure about the financial benefits of moving up. To the lads who are/were in div2 - did gate receipts go up/down compared to div3? I'm wondering to what extent does the larger traveling support counteract the lower contentment associated with losing more matches?

tHE vAGGABOND · 03-05-2011 2:23pm

Div III - 1 :eek:

Again, two teams way ahead of the rest of us, so another *yawn* season of a few easy wins and a few huge defeats, and compete for the bronze cup again

do you want to WNWIM? myself (ELAT)and JP (Fookers)are going that route instead of bashing each other at LTNT so we can have a go with cups and what not.

TheJims · 03-05-2011 3:18pm

My salaries didnt go up at all!!

Is it becoz i only joined half way thru the last season maybe?

All i know is i got my first minor sponsor and turned a profit without playing a match!

This excitement might be premature, as i have a level 2 training facility and level 2 attack coach in construction/advertised

Oh wow, does this mean the offsite is finally interesting again!? I haven't been there for at least a year! To the hilarity!

Someone may correct me here, but I think the salary increase is based on your CSR improvement. With only half a season and level 1 training facilities, I imagine there wasn't really a massive increase and therefore no major wage increase.

Don't suppose you want to set up a WNWIM arrangement for our 2 league games?

Wages went up 45k this season, I'm going to be needing a long cup run, and some happy fans this season.

Just had a look at my league, Same again this season Voodoo?

I also think I have what it takes to get top four this season, another few timely LTNTs and it should be like last season...

Now to sort out my premium membership, I'm sorely missing my lineups list...

tHE vAGGABOND · 03-05-2011 8:41pm

sure - makes sense

I'm afraid all I found was you bitching about the Kenyans and a big "will I won't I" about the Georgians. I was hoping for someone banning you.

Most defiantly. I'll need all the energy i can get. I've stopped training Romagnolgi now too, switched my focus across to one of my young(er) guns

I thought you'd be happy to hear i'm caging the beast!

daveharnett · 03-05-2011 10:32pm

Damn you all with your cosy agreements! II.3 is not so friendly. I think I'm #7 of 8 CSR-wise.

Might just be able to stay above auto-relegate though. My fixtures line up pretty well - I have "can't-win" matches pretty much every other week, so I should be able to take a good crack off of most of the "winnable" fixtures. Could have an impact on cup performance mind.

mar-z · 04-05-2011 3:00pm

II.4 is horrible this year. I miss what was II.3.

That has been my approach to div II since I was promoted. Worked great in the first season when I was underestimated by a few teams, then people copped on and it got even trickier.

Hopefully you'll get the whole underestimation thing going for you this year as its a great help. I desperately need people to think Grubber are harmless this year to have a chance of staying up.

What do you mean "think" ?

Satory,

A team just went bot in our league. As much as i hate playing bots, it'll be a welcome relief tbh..
