Sad news - NY GM quits

[Paul-London]

Sad news today when GM Adam McLane, one of the top GM's in the FWL the past few seasons announced he was leaving the team.  The league management tried to talk him out of retiring but it wasnt just the loss which pushed his decision, with other business ventures McLane has decided to sadly leave the FWL.

McLane took over a poor team in New York and his first season was a 3-11 record.  The next year he got them to 5-9 and just two seasons later the playoffs.  After those two initial early seasons he never had another losing season again in his career in the FWL, the last two seasons New York had a 23-5 regular season record and were one of the best teams all round in the league.  He was named GM Of the Year in 2009 but his teams inability to win in the playoffs (1-4) hurt deep down.  He nearly retired last year but gave it one more season and was going to leave the team whether they won this years FWL Bowl or not.

McLane built a great team in New York, he traded star HB Michael Black and former unknown DeMario Brown took over and was brilliant.  Another great move was drafting Phil Stambaugh who has turned into one of the best QB's in the league and was this years FWL MVP.  McLane leaves a brilliant side in New York, they were 12-2 this season before being upset in the playoffs.

With 4 straight playoff appearances, 4 straight AFC East titles (a record in the AFC East) and a great all round team he leaves the Knights in great hands.

Former GM's of the FWL will be contacted first, then any offers from current GM's in the FWL and then finally offers sent out to websites.  If anyone has an interest in the New York job or they wish to move franchises then let me know

Two words:

1)
A big bow for the man who made NY to an incredible powerhouse. You really deserve my deepest respect for your skills, Adam.

2)
BRING BACK JASON COMPTON!!!

I could only say the same as Mario.

A great job done with NY !

And indeed it would be nice to see Jason or Andrew returning

2)
BRING BACK JASON COMPTON!!!

My people are talking to the league's people.

I have a special scheduling request.

You get one guess what that might be.

To the league management:
I herby ask for an immediate reduction of all NY-ratings by 10 points.

Thanks

Currently in talks with several people about the role, hopefully should announce something in the next few days.

Several new players want to take part which is good so we also have some backup GM's
