The John Morrison Elite League 18/19 - chairman needed

Post by CBN »

I hope people were happy enough with the job I did last season. I will need to pass it on for next season given new work commitments so am hoping someone will step up and do their bit for a season. Perhaps we’ll end up with a regular rotation if nobody wants to take it on permanently.

I will provide sponsorship this year for the trophy to be engraved with the 18-19 winner’s name and to have it couriered to the winner.

You did a sterling job, hopefully someone out there to carry it on with the level of eggort of you and previously jeff, perhaps he'll cone out of retirement.

For the future how about the winner runs it?

Not sure that will fly (ability to run it, time required, trusted to hold c£1k of entry fees etc).

Jeff and Simon have done great job of running the elite league and we all appreciate the time and effort put in for our benefit. And anyone who deals with the money eg backlash.

If no one did chairman the league I suppose there is always the last resort of scrapping the cups with it that need manual work, make entry free (so no one has to funny around with PayPal/bank transfers, PM’ing loads of fisoers etc. And coz the standard of the top 5 of elite league is usually so high then whoever wins next season will probably be in the money in the main DT game anyhow) and basically just let the sun do all the scoring etc. I imagine most of us have DT app so it only takes a minute to get the latest league table wherever we are.

You could still obviously have the usual rules of entry eg certain amount of posts etc and the person who creates the mini league has the option to kick out any team that doesn’t adhere to the entry rules. And could be a new rule that the elite team name must include their Fiso name eg Zimmerman 3, CBN Nags head (instead of nags head).

Obviously it’d be great if someone did chairman to the standard that Jeff n Simon did but the above is an option if no one steps forward.

Though I did hear Blademan was interested in running it🤗

One of the things with the elite league is you choose one team. It’s not always the case that people put (what turns out to be) their best team in the elite league.

Yeah true👍 It might be that the team that wins 18/19 elite league only finishes say 116th in main game but I’d still be happy to win the elite league even if there was no prize money (though obviously I’d prefer to win £800 odd than nowt). It was just a suggestion if no one stepped forward to take payments.

No thats fair enough.

It would be a shame that after 10 years (and Simon buying the trophy) if we couldn't keep it going.

This is a bit like the Defence Against the Dark Arts job. No-one lasts more than a year :)

Thank you Simon for doing such a great job, and I'm sorry to hear that life has got in the way :(

So, I guess I'd better give it another go then.

Nothing too fancy though: just the Elite League, Champions League (starting in Sept perhaps - 16 groups with top 2 going through) and FA Cup (dates as per the real-life FA Cup).

I should be ok time-wise if I leave out the Manager of the Month, Long Weekend DreamTeam and League Cup.

I'll knock up a thread in the next couple of days. :)
