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.
As I said (me and other members) some other times, asso top100 is the root of all evil.
This is destroying the game.
Tanking at old times was using as a tool
- to make a break
- to avoid some unbeatable opponent
- to make a little stronger and competitive team (as there were managers who could gather 1500-2000 greens per season and some others none - depend from the country)

But nobody was doing a permanent tanking of 7-8-9 seasons.

Every time you 're facing such an issue, think if this would exist without the asso top100 tricksters ?
