Well, my thinking with this is that it gets boring with just having an owner talking to another owner or whatever. But that it would be cool to add a level of human interaction into it where you have two people. I mean, you could have situations where it "seems" like a power struggle, where a GM gets fired because an owner is a meglomaniac and other guys woo him to their side offering said person more control, a bigger budget or whatever.

With the financial model I devised and have tweaked a ton (more than what's on the form for download currently) it would be easy to create a realistic system for dealing with league finances, too.

So...that'd be taken care of.

I mean, you could even get it down to the point where we have an owner, a GM and human managers running the ballclub. It would be kinda crazy, but..I think it could be an interesting way to do things and more 'realistic' than the one-stop shopping model.

Though I see the potential pitfalls of a model like this too. So that's why I suggested just GM/Owner.

I'm intriuged by the idea..but would need to see if there is more interest before plunging forward. But it seems doable.
