2) Great. Another user from season-3 lecturing me about how the game is so competative, and how is the fact that he is in the first division is regardless to that fact.
fie also that you could have learned some froom it, cause he also mentioned different system before ;)
In the first days, we had first division income, and not the players who compensate the income with their salarys. Nowadays, most top division team don't gain that much money, to compensate the loose in value their player got in aging. Also i don't know a team in germany who plays in the top, and still have reserve from the "old" days.
since the bundesliga is so important we also had lot of 40k arena before they limited it to 20k. Since other strong countrys like italy, was closer to an income equilibrium cause they spend more on players, and had pretty small sized arenas. At least that gave us also a push, and finance reserved we got when we reduced the arena size, where mostly old teams got profit(and in the end we had more income and nearly the same quality then the italian league).
I bring up the problem also in the past, but don't think that we still have it. Even when i think that even a good manager, needs 3-4 season to promote one division and build up a good team for the next one, which is imho a ok duration.
