So I can't see them changing the system without an increase in cost to us.
It was just a thought I had. I have a player who I got from my Academy and became a favourite of mine so I have kept him on and he is now 26. Thing is its just not cost effective to keep him and probably hasent been for maybe 2-3 seasons but I persist because he is a favourite. I could probably train 3 definitely 2, 18yo to 120% for the same cost as this 1 guy so its starting to hurt a bit.
As for Nordeus needing us to turn over players fequently , well thats 1 business approach but there are other approaches. I was reading a few fairwell threads and something that appeared reasonably frequently was the dislike of not being able to keep older players longer as a reaon , among others , as to why long term managers are leaving the game. Now I may be a little on the cautious side but I have always preferred the guarantee of a bird in the hand over the possibility of 2 in the bush. In short you shouldnt diminish your bread and butter to maybe get some honey. Short term cash grab v long term stable income , its sad if that is the case.
