I was obsessed with keeping the team. I was continually mocked by the rest of the league in the GM chat to the point where there were people calling for my team to be contracted.”

Sound familiar? This is the Chicago Blues happening all over again, but this time Oles is also pushing back against the team being relocated and rebranded. In my eyes this is why a player who has been a GM at both the DSFL and NSFL levels was rejected for a lack of experience.

Last time HO put their foot down and forced Jiggly out, but I don’t see that happening this time, so let’s hope they make the right choice. However, I highly doubt they will at this rate. There’s a reason Slm (who was on the HO that forced jiggly out of Chicago once already) is posting messages critical of HO in this thread. If I’m HO and their next pick isn’t a good one, I’m taking over the search and installing a candidate of our choice. We already know how that appeal will go, and Chicago war room won’t like that...

But Jiggly put HO in a position where they couldn’t reasonably do it because he got Chicago to reject the candidate (admittedly without valid reason). At that point forcing the issue puts the candidate in charge of a team that has decided they don’t want them. Which would be fucking awful.

If HO just installs a GM, as they should, there’s not the time or opportunity to convince a team that someone isn’t the right choice before they can even get chance.
