Are you talking to me ?

I have rated your post because of its "alarmist content"

"The injuns are coming", "The injuns are coming", "woe is me the world is about to end", HA wants to get his team back into to the ABBL

There is no denying that I would love for my team to promote to the ABBL again next season but I must reinterate that I started this season in Div 2 with a negative bank balance

After reading Chumungas post and doing a bit more research I am convinced that Glenelg Tigers are the team to beat.

Decent stadium, massive cash flow about a $120 K in the positive by my calculations, the strongest starting 5 in the league and an array of highly potentialled trainees as well.

I got lucky a couple of seasons ago when most of my competitors in II.3 got scared and let me through.

As for massive move, I went within a few hours of bankruptcy not that long ago so I'm a bit more conservative in nature now and have about 5 mill less in the bank now, than what I did back then before I made my move.

Things are a lot tougher in div 2 than two seasons ago with stronger rosters and more competitive teams. There is more than one team who have 2 or 3 players with a higher salary than my best

I'm not much of a basketballer strategist and was frowned upon by most in the ABBL last season for my lack of managerial nouse.

Are you "outing me" so as to draw attention away from your own aspirations of making the ABBL?

Any Manager who can sell a 35 year old "has been" for $400 K has to be a bigger threat than me

Look as I've said before I'm happy if you want to roll over and let me win, but I seriously think you should be more concerned about Glenelg Tigers

Haha this transfer is a joke, I bought him a couple of weeks ago for 150k and now he's gone for 400k. Anyway, GT are certainly another good team and the opposite conference is looking stronger so far.

Sorry, but that seriously made me laugh: "Let me back in div 2.III. I dont think I'm going to be able to bluff the teams in 2.II into letting me promote"

Though I'm just messing up with you. If you dont manage to bluff us into letting you promote, youll certainly bluff us into letting you finish 2nd seeded team... after GT I guess. Then that's gonna be up to you!

Is that the post you referred to in your previous post, the one where you stated that I had declared my intentions to promote on another forum?

I didnt realise that "Let me back in div 2.III. I dont think I'm going to be able to bluff the teams in 2.II into letting me promote", could possibly be construed as stating my intentions to promote.

Anyways what you have achieved is exposing my mischievious masterplan for promotion . (to bluff)

As I stated in the other forum you guys in divII.2 are going to be harder to bluff into rolling over than what the teams were in div II.3 a couple of seasons ago

Most of the II.3 teams sold up half their rosters and basically gave up after I brought a couple of half decent players

HA is no certainty to beat the well managed Melbourne Redbacks tomorrow night and will probably be rolled by a revenge seeking well managed Nevada Saucers on Tuesday night.

HA has no expectation of promotion this season as I'll either be playing players out of position for training purposes for most of the season or selling off my best players to enable a sustained rebuild.

I was critised by several of the ABBL coaches last season for promoting before the team was ready

And to them i would have said get stuffed lol!

You blokes are paying no respect to Drunken All Stars.

Ahhhh I paid respect. Tremell is very respectful....

I didn't realise til a few weeks ago that DAS has such a small arena though so any success he has is well earned imo cause it mustn't be easy!

Dont want to sound disrespectful but I think DAS will struggle unless he/she have a rework of the roster and fix up the problems they have with their gate receipts

Yes they have had 700k net of sales recently but it must be a challenge to be losing so much (around 100K) financially each week

2 outstanding performances this week with impressive wins from SBV and HA. What a good overall balance in depth from both teams!

On another note, I wonder what the Saintstars are doing. It seems like they are not tanking and I doubt they have a good business with their rather average sized arena. However they look weak at the moment and I'm afraid they'll be left behind if they don't bring in a couple of franchise players or if they can't cope better with their game shape.

This saturday's surprise came from the Egg who whiped the floor against GT, giving them a first loss. Well, GT are still one of our top teams.

Finally, are you sure that DAS loses so much money? I haven't done the math but I see expensive seats and people tend to attend his games. Although he has already been knocked out of the cup, I think he can afford his 466k roster depending on his staff wages.

PS: Enjoy the business lessons by Ezlife! Start with 150k, buy a 35yo prick that you gonna sell for 3x more and then buy a 100k 25yo superstar that you can train (with the money from the sale of the old fart!) --> lmao
