I then just go into my utility at the end of the year and all managers that have finished last in their division gets 1 subtracted from their max years column. I then just hit a hot key and it subtracts 1 from each manager year and if it hits 0 a new name is entered into the row to replace the previous manager. I don't want to have to support the spreadsheet so I did not put release it as a utility for use, but may once I get itto be user friendly....

To spice things up a bit I move between 18-33% of the managers each season to represent a firing from one team and hired by another. Example in a 16 team league I moved 4 managers last season; managers 1, 2, 3, 4 went to teams 2,4,1,3 so that it was not a simple one to one swap of managers.....

This makes the history much more interesting to read in CatoBase....
