I'm sad to say that I have to announce my resignation of the Wolves ownership come seasons end. I myself am beggining college soon, and I barely have any time for GLB now, and I don't think its going to get any better once I get there. Hell, I haven't been able to get in more then 10 minutes of gameplanning for any of our last 6 or so games. There has been little internal interest about anyone buying the team, our one GM and OC got banned in the Tim Harper riots of 08', and the overwhelming player demand was for contracts that expire at the end of this season. All of that adds up to the end of the Wolves.

Its been fun A6, but I can't continue leading the Wolves the way they deserve to be lead.

Sorry to see you guys go ghost. College is definitely more important.

Yeah, I'll hate to see the Wolves go, and we'll miss you in the chat each week. It was always fun playing you guys. Good luck at college, though.

I hope the new owner doesn't gut the team, but I'd be surprised if he didn't.

Well the team will be practically gutted as is, as I'd say a good 90% of the contracts end on day 40. I couldn't in good conscience leave my guys on a team they didn't want to be on, especially when a random owner they don't know takes over. Thats one of the worst situations a player can be in.

I hate to hear it. The Wolves were always one of those teams that you hated to see on the schedule.

Glad you're doing it the "right" way.

I have to say that it would be an interesting experiment.

I'm not sure if this is a ploy to curry favor with my teams offensive players (Kuriegs already on this with my defensive guys ) or just a kind gesture, but I'm going to have to say no just because the ban to my o-coord was just a temp one and I don't want to hand his job away when he'll be back soon.

You really don't want Morid as your OC.

Man spends all his time quibbling over spreadsheet projections.

Also, I should post that I'm actually sad to see the Wolves fold. They have a dynamic defense that's been fun to play against.

Just out of curiosity, do you already have any plans for your own players ghost? I'd be open to taking a couple of them with the hedgehogs to AA next year .
