Here's a nice rags to riches story. Team 71 - the Havana Landslide
Along with the steadily increasing success of Havana, we see a pretty even hand on the tiller from ownership. After two years of cash pullbacks consistent with the rest of the league, Havana is promoted to L2 after the 1991 season. This is followed by another year of cutbacks, then years small adjustments followed by years of no adjustments at all.
Here the striking thing is the change in media revenue between 1991 and 1992. We see the sum decrease by about 75% even as the team moves to a higher league. No real explanation for this - we need to check the media contracts every year!
Lastly, we look at team 121 - the Tel Aviv Swift.
Starting in L4, the Swift don't make their first upward move until after year 8. During their initial stay in L4, we see the owner pulling cash every year. In fact, we don't see a cash infusion until year 12, when they are starting their second year in L2. That year, 2001, the swift had a team budget and payroll 51% above league average. Cash and payroll continued to climb for Tel Aviv through the end of the sim, even though they were relegated for the final season.
