imo, the impact of playoff success on the finances is too big, so you cannot predict your income very accurately

lose 2 years in a row in the first round of the SC playoffs and then you can't fully pledge in the mediacenter which even further lowers your budget

An it still should be a competition, so you try to field the most competetive team

So, at the end it would be better to have a salary cap, to be sure to be able covering the expenses?

Overall Peter is right, a manager should prepare, not react.

All I'm saying is, that the tools to react are quite limited now.

Totally agree with the playoff success finance point. What if playoff money was shared between every team in the league? I understand the theory that teams should be rewarded for success but in my opinion success is the reward of playing an online game.
Sharing the playoff money would basically be like a soft cap as everyone would be receiving the same amount of money.

sharing the money is equal to not granting money at all.
Would have the same effect.

Do you mean no extra money from playoffs? Works for me

And the ancient idea of Salary Cap?

That a team had a limit of, per exemple, 4 million per season would not be a good "prevent" to avoid failures?

RZA is a management game...
I am quite sure the most of the bankruptcies happen because the manager has not even read jack6 guide and he didn't build a full stadium.
Keeping apart this cases...
A manager can choose basically two extreme strategies and all the scale of gray in between them:
1) beeing conservative, checking regularly his expenditures, do not risk too much, control his wages and limited his team overall % and the probability to win. His team will survive forever...
2) start from scratch build a team and at the right time lead the team to a piloted bankrupt choosing to rise as high as possibile his wages and his team overall % maximising the probability to win in short time some big trophy. The time the manager can survive depends on how much he is able to win .... and then he will restart from scratch.
I think that both strategies are legal.

If every manager had the same guarentee income or a salary cap this would be not a management game.

I proposed a bankruptcy procedure in order to speed up the boring phase needed to reach the bankrupt.
But in the same time the balancing between the two possible tactics should remain the same not encoraging managers to bankrupt on purpose.

+1 for a Salary Cap, but I would suggest 5-6m cap

I believe a salary cap would mean the only place for wealthy and successful teams to spend their money would be the transfer market, obviously this would be good for the transfer market, but I fear it could also mean that the best teams will always have the strongest and fastest players making parity even harder to achieve?

Also what would happen if you go over the salary cap? Fines? Players cut?
