GM Change, Washington Bobwhites

Post by recte44 » Wed Mar 05, 2014 11:23 am

GM Manny Manuel stepped away from his team, and we've brought in a new GM to replace him in Chris Robillard (crobillard). Some of you may know Chris from the BBR and know why he was hand picked to try and fix the mess the Bobwhites are in.

There is going to be some intervention to allow a franchise move here, in all likelihood. I normally wouldn't do this except: 1) the Bobwhites are in rough shape; 2) it's a weird name for a team anyways, 3) I know Chris and he won't bail on us.

More info on that later.

The whole franchise is changing. Stay tuned.

I gave him the old school Bobwhites logo for now because I can't stand that purple thing Marko put in.

I like the old school logo better. Can't wait for the unveiling.

Thanks!

Not really sure to be honest, just concerned about this $20 million deficit I just agreed to try and fix lol. I'm excited about the team move. If Recte allows it, I'd like to change the entire look of my team. Start brand spanking new.

That's kind of the plan. Washington is so screwed financially, the league is going to step in and help bail this franchise out a little bit.

I lost track - how did Washington get so far in the red? What was the source of the deficit?

It was Manny's screw up with Pump Jr. and Mazzola.

New GM- we're going to move the franchise and give them a bit of a clean start

Welcome Chris ! When there was three open franchises I said to Matt just give me the unwanted one but I did look at all three and my thoughts for Washington was they needed a move. They meet quite a few of the relocation criteria anyway and it seems the perfect time to sweep all the deadwood away. Good Luck with it all !

To clarify everything.. I will be referred to from here after as THE Chris. Don't confuse me for this newbie! haha

For those a part of the original ORB2, that may sound familiar as Chris Ramsey and I constantly fought over who THE REAL Chris was in the league.
