Managerial Choices (Post-Reset)

Onion Terror came out of the reset with significantly more bonus skillpoints to allocate than Strathcarnage (due to existing longer), but the primary motivations behind the allocations were the choices of GW type.

Onion Terror (Fantasy GW):
A single nation theme, no real-life players, no Returning Stars. A focus on youth and long term development. With this in mind, the two specialisations were Coaching and Scouting. Strong all round coaching and JP5 are the two main benefits. A single academy is being built in Germany, with no plans for any more. Most non-specialities were bumped to level 3 if possible, with learning skills the other main beneficiary. Quicker, ultimately accurate assessments, and a productive coaching environment for the prospective Kinderzwiebel.


Strathcarnage (Returning Stars GW):
A multi-nation theme, so a single large academy would prove less useful. As would a large dependency on youth production itself. So, the choices here were Infrastructure and Management. Finance 5 and Commercial 4, Academy Operation and Construction 4, 3s most other appropriate places. Currently one small academy under construction (in Montenegro), with the long term plan to complement it with another small academy (either Serbian or Croatian), but still spending less overall than the Onions. Income maximised where possible, savings on stadium expansion, overall goal of maximising available cash for the release of the higher valule FYR players (and eventually Returning Stars).
