When I saw this thread on the front page I thought it was a spam bot 
Would be cool to see a veteran manager returning

You and I didn't cross paths much since I joined not long before you ended, but in a weird coincidence, like a week ago I was looking at your HQ because I was trying to figure out when you disbanded for some analytics I was doing. Ended up reading your final posts and your very thoughtful goodbye.
When I first saw the thread and Marco's comments I wondered if I had accidentally promoted the thread somehow.
But this is a much better reason - been great to have Booker, JT and Dippofix all back this year so continuing the trend would be very cool.

You finished not very long after I started, and I don't recall us discussing any transfers or being in the same races a lot, but definitely glad to see you've regained the enthusiasm to come back. Not the first of those, as stated by jt above, which does show the MG is something special for sure. Looking forward to you being a part of it again!
Thank you very much. It is, and as I wrote in my leaving post it has been around for a big part of my adult life. Hopeing I can get some new big events in the future while playing

I think we were in very different worlds of the MG back in the day, as my original team never made it to the PT, but as someone who also re-joined this season after a decade away, I can definitely recommend going for it! Although I am not looking forward to having such strong competition in the CT division next year 
I'm experienced at doing strange decisions and bad planning. So we will see how strong the competition can be from me. Will have to look at what you other returning guys did last year and learn from it. Looks like I will be lucky with a game change, that should make everything more random (and good for me creating a new team)

Sounds like you have a bit of a plan already. Curious what that will be. In any way, would be cool to see you back 
Could be I've made some notes the last days ;-)

Oh boy! This was one hell of an announcement. It would be absolutely amazing to have you back mate!
Would be awesome to come back! Hopefully we can avoid a "Zabel" situation this time around ;-)

Maybe you jinxed everything and is the reason I felt it was time to come back?
I will have to learn from the other returning guys. I have never played with such a small budget. Hell, in a bid war with Knockout on Taaramae we pretty much ended up bidding an entire CT budget for 1 rider... Will be a great challenge, and as I answered Knockout I have some ideas already

That FA was a very memorable one for me too. 10 minutes into the transfer window and we had already raised the bidding that high. Ended up out of my price range and i had to settle with a young Lopez instead. Think that turned out okay for both of us 
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Don't tell me, it's going to be a Third team from San Marino isn't it
Welcome back Heine, When I started this isn't exactly how I planned on racing against all these legendary managers
