Mmmm, not so sure about that.
My 1st team, Altiplano tanked last year for the first time. I did it with a 7 star team. I did it to help our association with loans (which were removed before the end of the season! Lol.) Also to escape a couple of teams that were going to give me problems.
Since that season tanking Altiplano has won 7 leagues, 4 champions leagues ( plus runner up and beaten semi finalist), and 5 cups (plus runner up). In that lot were 3 of my 7 trebles.
I doubt that I would have had that much success without that tanking season. Would I do it again? Yes, if the circumstances were right.
Nordeus are happy to let teams tank and I can understand their reasons. However repetitive tanking (which I have been guilty of doing with my 2nd team) shouldn't be allowed to continue without penalisation.
