This is where Guardiola can show true leadership - easy putting 11 supermen on the park and letting them build his reputation, but now he has to step up to show he can motivate 10 supermen and 1 overpaid substitute. 😉😉

Alan, you get my vote to run it again -nobody likely to want to do it instead of yourself. 
Great job, and this time we actually got a prize.. 👍👍

The easy money here is the 200k for bios completion at the beginning of the season - yet quite a few don't bother. But that's okay - that's a personal choice, and i don't read everybody else's bios anyway - just a selected set of managers I have got to know over the seasons.

Same with reviews - I'd guess many aren't read, despite the effort put in - that's okay too. Personal choice rules - but quite a few do read them - thanks for that from my colleagues by the way!! 😉  👍👍

But why should people who haven't the time or the inclination to do relatively simple things like bios updates or an occasional blog/journal rule out earnings made by managers who are prepared to keep SESL where it is - great fun to play and be involved in. Live and let live...🤔

I have never denied, actually I have admitted in the past, I do as much as I can to earn cash to try to compete with obviously better managers, but I remain in the 2nd division.  🙄  I spend the time but starting to now wonder why if it seems to upset so many people ... I usually become a cash injection for a few 3rd division teams when I earn more 4,000k, I don't mind, it means I've worked for it and at least I can afford the 50 CPs at the start of a new season. 😉  

I try to bridge the gap between the 1st division extra gate cash (750k per season in the league alone) and the money I earn in the 2nd division.

I have made ready to hand over to a reviewer at MSA time but none have come forward - now is your chance to earn some cash for just short of 3 hours a weekend.  💰💰

I am going into the close season now - at least I personally have probably ensured some managers who don't participate will be earning some cash now. See, easy to make money, eh? 

Reviews used to pay out 75k but Mark put it up to 100k as he felt 6 managers would do half a season each (3 divisions x 2) and make a few shekels for their efforts.

I think 5 or 6 lads came forward a couple of seasons ago but only about 4 lads last season. 
I am happy to do a half season - happier to do the full season but realise not everyone thinks that's a good thing. Mark needs 6 bodies - he has 3-4. 
One thing for sure - no point in doing half a season if the other half season doesn't get covered. So I volunteer to do whatever Mark wants. 

Gonna earn my money this week for sure..

I do a divisional review but actually think the 100k is fine (less and it isn't so interesting, but I am happy with the current amount). I too was only supposed to do half a season, but again nobody came forward to sub me, so I stayed in. I love it, you get to know the teams in your division more... Mark could abandon these reviews but I think the game could suffer - many managers earn by reviewing their own teams performances in the Journal, and get paid for it. Overall SESL blossoms due to daily participation throughout - maybe only in MHO, but that counts too.

The Rules say each manager is supposed to do at least 3 Journals pwer season. I wouldn't push that if I was a Commish, but even 3 (reasonable) entries would get a manager pretty close to 100k.

My extra money over James is due to the fact I am happy to spend time being involved in the set up and yes, get paid for it - RR gets 750k more than me in league matches alone being a division higher...(25k extra per match.. just saying) - I make it up by writing.

Good subject, and a good earner when managers comment on it.... :-)

Like James I have played the game for hundreds of years but unlike him, I enjoy the blogging and Journalling - although I WILL admit, if there was no participation cash for them likely I would cut so far back as to be minimal.

It is part of involving managers in discussions, views, talking about their clubs etc - many online games have NO interactiion amongst managers at all - I have played dozens of them so know (as does Derek now).

One more thing - OASL is well run by Andy (and I like to think it was well run by myself and certainly Dave Dowson before me) but it suffers from a lack of participating by managers - it is largely entering the team lines, read the match results/reports and entering team lines etc. It becomes "colder" which is something I would not like to see in SESL. Participating is actually in the rules - and I wouldn't like to see it coming out.

(Mark reserves the right to award some decent progression/discussionm/comment and not just a silly message of no interest to SESL.)  Taking part is up to the individual, of course, but don't take away some clubs extra income..

Next somebody is going to suggest we dispense with divisional reviews and divisional predictions..........slippy slope methinks! :-)

Some good comments here, except a specific payment for certain amounts of characters. Mark has it right - amount depends upon the number of posts AND the quality. 
There can never be payments made for a certain amount of posts or words - quantity will always get a payment, the amount will depend on the content. Has to be..

(This should get me 100k, but I'll refuse it - it'll be going to the 3rd division anyway. The money, not the team!!) 😂😂
