excellent. i've always toyed with the idea of hiring/firing GMs, but in reality it seems hard to do in terms of being able to get rid of an active owner (who just happens to not be good at managing a team) and keeping a good GM who is barely active. but i think there *is* a way to do it, if everyone is on the same page:
everyone gets "contracts", for the sake of arguement we'll say a 5 year contract. if at anytime during those 5 years you've won a WS you automatically get another 5 year contract. if you've come in last place say, 3 out of those 5 years you're "fired". or if you've never made the team any significant amounts of money during your 5 year contract (and let's face it, as GMs it's our jobs to not only win, but to make our teams profitable) you'd be "fired". what would fired mean? you lose the rights to operate that team (but you're still in the league), meanwhile there are bound to be other teams who've "fired" their GM that you could take over.
there are many ways we could go about doing this - maybe make it so that if you hit certain benchmarks you can take over any open team that fired it's GM. maybe getting your team to 100 wins will grant you an additional 3 year extension. a league needs continuity, rather than an endless game of "hot-potato" where everyone switches teams every so often, but i think if everyone is on the same page we could have something really awesome and unique here. at the core of this is making every GM accountable for their transactions. excessive trades, overspenders probably wouldn't last long in a league like this.
