OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

[GM Franchise]

Dom, Steven, and I are among the GMs who take the team to the playoffs in the following season (Dom eventually won the title!). Powers was doing alright but then decided to trade his team....Talon might be the only "failed" GM, but he did give Birmingham it's only legit season, even if that didn't last long...

Josh has a bit to live up to in Colorado. Playoffs or bust!

It took you two seasons Bone so Talon is not alone. 

Maybe Franchise is setting up the foundations for good play-off contenders... He's just not given enough time, or his team gets murdered

My rep is a big reason for that. I've definitely improved though.

The only conclusion I can make from that is that Franchise lays good foundations and then must spend the rest of the season trying to tear them apart... until he is replaced. I've not seen this happen live yet, but I'll be keeping my eye on his team this season to see how he does it.

This has been true only the last two seasons. The seasons before that...car wrecks.

I had a winning record and was in the playoff picture last year before I left for Texas, not really s failure when you've won more games than all other Birmingham GMs combined mate.

The only place he ever left a "decent" foundation was Birmingham, but in hindsight, he really didn't... with the $4 million PR hit he left behind.

The GMs that take over typically need two seasons to turn the team around.

A good foundation?  I got there and I had Findi Muwama and Clarence Marx and a 4 million dollar penalty, which I accepted because I left one of those behind in baton rouge lol. I gutted that team and rebuilt it, and then I left a good foundation for Digger with James, Sorensen, Kolo Rolo (who got flipped for Pebbles) and Ty Williams.


The best thing about some of these BAD teams is when you take over its like an expansion club because everyone including the shitty coaches are gone.

[Justin]

You guys should try building a team with a foundation that goes beyond one season.

[Dorling]

Or two teams...

[Justin]

It works...ask that guy^^

[Jennifer]

Says the guy who left said team because he self-admittedly knew said foundation was about to crack?

I'm onto you Dorling.

It worked long enough. That's all you really need it to. Long enough.

Win the ring, move on.

In seriousness though, I had the chance to leave Hollywood a couple seasons back when I lost Drummond/Hayes. Got offered a job and a trade deal to take, iirc, Allen and Beast with me. Turned it down because the rate of people actually succeeding with those 'leave and trade' moves is extremely low. People have done historically better with clean slates.

But moreso done better with some stability.

[Kirk]

I'm happy enough with the foundations I was left with, except for the finances. The amount of PR budget that I'm spending on mediocre players and coaches is astonishing. Of course, I shan't be saying that IC.

That has always been a theme for Ty.
