PS What's a reasonable spend on development? I think my 28m (on a 112m budget) was probably overkill. OTOH, if spending less means the reports get even worse than they are now.. lol.

I wish I had a good answer for this question. I tend to be a more intuitive, not always fully rational, person. So I play these things by ear. There are so many factors to consider that I really just think one makes a best guess after factoring in other budgetary concerns. And that trial and error is a great teacher in this game (as in life.) My sense is, all other things being equal and if you have the budgetary room, it would be good to spend above the league average for sure. But how much above is an open question. My sense is that large changes in the development budget might only lead to small rewards. But small rewards can be important too- especially if we are talking about 1-2 players who develop to be key members of your big league club, even if only on the bench or back-end of rotation or middle relief, who otherwise might not have made it.
My overall advice is similar to what so many have said here: Try, Fail, Learn, Do Better, Rinse, Repeat.
