Concentrating on the move to the new SIM, something very similar happened like this with UK football (soccer) back in the 1990s. Back then, support was dwindling, the game was going nowhere, no one cared about it any more. In stepped Rupert Murdoch and his Sky TV. They saved football, they reinvented football. No football existed before their takeover in 1992. Footballers no longer had to live next to regular people, their salaries would increase. They would no longer have to drive poor cars. They were turning into celebrities, exactly what they deserved. And that's what the move to the new SIM will do.
Some teams will thrive, some players will show their potential on the world stage. New players will join and elevate the standard of the game. More importantly though, the move will see those who have become complacent drop away. Teams who were competing at the so called elite level will fade away without proper plans and structures, tactics and strategies will need to be exciting and innovative to win now. Players can no longer just turn up, that gap in class has widened.
Forget anything that happened before the move to the new SIM, it's going to become a little like the uncle you never talk about, that you're a little ashamed to know. The new SIM is all that will matter now. Record win with the old SIM? Doesnt count any more. Back to back Ultimus victories? Yeah, that's ancient history. It simply doesnt matter any more. The new SIM will define who is good, who is bad, no hiding.
And in a way, Burfict is arriving at the right time. He's had a pretty anonymous debut season, still learning at this level. Hopefully by the time the new SIM arrives he'll be at that elite level and be one of the players everyone remembers at being there at the rebirth. We'll see.
