Hello all,

I thought I should release a press statement on the situation of the manager of the Alligators and the Alligators themselves.

We've had our worst start since a long time. This is a fact I have to deal with. Does the new engine have an influence? I think it's more related to the time I am able to put into RZA. I rarely get to game plan properly anymore.

Now why is that then one might ask. Ask you may and answer I will. My career at work the last year or so has been in the lift. I work in analytics (not a coder) and as this is the sexy thing now everyone suddenly wants it incl a lot of people in the very big company I work for. This has meant that my customer base has grown seven fold which is great but my resources have stayed where they were...one. This will change at some point in the future but for now it means I work a lot in the times I spend on RZA before. This was mainly on my hourly commute from and to work. This is now mostly spend on work

At the same time at home my wife has been suffering from a burn out since late last year and this is something that also requires my attention and while of course I gladly do this it does mean that it has become harder to say: "hey wifey, I'm gonna spend two hours game planning my imaginary game tomorrow while you just sit there on the couch"

So to cut a long story short: NO, I will never quit RZA but it does mean that until after the summer my time will remain limited. This means that I've decided that for now the Game of the Week will be shelved. I rather spend that time for now on my failing team

But to reiterate: I am very strongly committed to everything Thunder and I love this game a LOT so I will not leave, just be like I've been over the last few months really. Not posting a lot and being crap at managing my teamm

So I just wanted to put this out there so everyone is aware and not wondering (if you were) what happened to good ol' Cheesehead.

So here's to you all in Thunder and in RZA

Cheers,
Cheesehead

Well, we all have a life outside these virtual walls, and that is the most important! (But only by a small margin )

Good luck with your work and helping your wife!

As always, best wishes to you and your wife.

I'll miss game of the week this season but as long as it is back up and running next season for my epic return to 1:1 I can cope

Just remember, my friend, that between work and sleep, have some fun and relax

Hey guys,

u p d a t e on this thread. All is well here in RL but now my team is in big trouble. My finances are shot to hell. I therefore fired all my coaches and all my players will leave this off season. I am basically starting from scratch again. Just FYI.

I actually like the challenge of it and Chesterton Cheese has shown how successful it can be.

tl;dr: my team will be utter sh!te next season

EDIT: all my good players will leave...I need to maintain minimum amount of players of course...

Why not put everyone up for sale then . If they are going to leave anyway may as well try and get some money for them from tour rebuild.

I tried but only sold two. The transfer market has really bottomed out big time! I put 150 mill minimum into this squad and getting 5 back
