How to murder your team owner

My team owner was a cantankerous fool, both controlling and meddlesome according to his profile page. I finally had enough, so I went into commissioner mode, edited his age to be 100, and then waited a few weeks.

He hung on longer than I expected, signing a couple more needless contract extensions on my behalf in the meantime, but finally croaked. His son, same name except with a Jr extension, is Lenient, Generous, and Hands-Off.

In commissioner mode I thought I could simply edit the old buzzard's characteristics, but I must have overlooked the right button to click. As it worked out, though, I couldn't be happier with the result of my heinous crime.

Does anyone else have a creative way of dealing with their team owner?

i once wrote a news story of how he and his cronies were in a restaurant robbery that went bad, and were murdered by the thugs.
Since he had no heirs to take over, MLB stepped in an appointed a new "owner" until a buyer could be found. to do that, i simply edited the old guys profile to fit the new person. i never play with owners goals enabled anymore, as i find them annoying and unrealistic too often.
i've actually changed my owners in a few different leagues along the way, due to either a murder, fatal boating accident, or something along those lines. it seems, the world of my leagues is a pretty morbid place at times, at least for crummy owners.

Yes, I have a very creative solution. I uncheck the enable owner goals box, and voila, no more meddling, no more telling me to sign some 37-year old All-Star guy who's obviously entering his decline phase. This solution is not for everyone, but for me it works wonders, and eliminates frustration. I uncheck a lot of things: storylines, personality/morale/chemistry stuff etc. I'm here to play baseball, not watch a soap opera unfold before my eyes.

Hey, I'm just a murderer, not a control freak.

Let 'em try. I'll just go into Commissioner Mode and edit Robert Mueller's characteristics so that he's super lenient or whatever, and I'll skate.
