Teamhopping is for...
'dubby would say it is for the weak.  But I have to say that I would be sorely tempted if, say a team in the UL's division 4 suddenly became available.

Here are some of my reasons for such an unthinkable move:

1st, I would prefer to keep such a team under the control of a UL manager.  Somebody who understands the history and culture of our league, and somebody who will do more for the team than just try to win at all costs, leaving a husk behind after the glory period has past.

2nd, I am not getting any younger in X11 years.  At some point, you need to call it a day.  A team like Wixie's would have a very clear end point.  Which is in stark contrast to the conveyor limbo that my current team offers.

3rd, If I did leave, my club is still among the best in the UL.  Perhaps all they need is a manager with a little fire in their belly to win more accolades.

Regardless of all this, I am hoping to see Wixie back at the helm.  Such a team could cause a frenzy in the Job Center, and sadly, most of the managers who win out in situations like this, tend to be the short sighted type, all glory and no concern for the work that went into creating something like Under Construction.
