what was your financial situation like? Over budget? Losing money?

Surely there can be no sane reason in any gaming scenario where a GM/Manager gets fired after winning a championship??

After watching Girardi get fired this off season, anything is possible.

Money was a bit of an issue but we still made a profit and I was clearing 80 million going into the offseason.

This may already be TT'd. Someone reported being fired after LOSING the World Series as Boston. They reinstalled themselves as Boston GM, WON the championship the next season, and was fired again.

Which is why I mentioned gaming. People play to have fun and relax. Getting fired isnt fun and is really bad for the blood pressure.

Maybe the owner expected you to win 110 games with that roster, and you only won 100?

This was TTed as 3078 some time back.
