It is all about resource management. If you are low in money then you better tank and save money while maintaining a strong team for next season or all the way for association oriented game play only since Nordeous doesn't see it as a problem most probably because the current revenues are within their desired ranges.

If you don't have money issues and Top eleven is something you enjoy why not go for all trophies and fortify the squad as necessary every season. Then you don't lose time but you spend money. Time is money.

Questioning ethical side of the foxy tactics is always debatable but last word is spoken by Nordeous as it is not considered as cheating. There is no time to lose on the debate but to move on.

And I believe you just happen to have a bad fixture where the oppo is preparing for assoc. . I believe if he read the entry he would be laughing..
