The last bit of hope for promotion crushed. I have plans with the team next year, not sure if it's the best idea though 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Nice to see some new names coming up to the PT aswell as welcoming back Roturn, cio and Count.
As predicted the call for CT managers was quite wide and this is as it should be with PCT crud flushed out (good chance for them to rebuild really)

Very excited to gain a somewhat unexpected promotion to PCT at the last minute! Looking forward to doing battle (i.e. trying desparately to stave off relegation) with some of the more established members of the MG community and also with fellow promotees, as well as seeing some old faces from 2014 CT.

Time to work out how to keep my squad together on a CT budget, Renewals will be key here I think then it's a question of how many guys I can loan out to max in one year, I hope I've made a lot of PT friends.
Got to say I'm impressed with the small amount of disbandments this year, especially when 3 of them are by choice, it seems really low this year compared to previous seasons.

*drools over some of the riders from disbanding teams*
Well, congrat's everyone who got promoted. Shame for those who got relegated, but hey, you can come back stronger. |

Looking forward to a transfer season of trying to convert my team from CT team to PCT. 
Congrats to the other promotes and consolidations to the relegated.

Very happy with promotion after not being sure if i wanted to or not.
Im kinda expecting to relegate next year, but maybe if we pick up a good sprinter we'll be able to escape relegation |

As far as I can see, those are some established teams disabanding there, although less than last year? Surprised about Actavis and Nutresa in particular. Alas, no love lost, who doesn't make the cut is likely out of the MG for justified reasons.
We'll be quite a challenge to adapt to PCT -- new level of racing, who to keep, who to get, what to focus on.. With the additional promo spots, the Top5 still looks good but is worth nothing as the old season closed curtain and the new one is about to begin.

Would love for Nutresa to have stayed as Scorchio was a great manager, but he hasn't been online for nearly 5 months, so there's not much option there. Similar reasoning for Bacardi.
Actavis decided to leave but were one of the least active teams anyway.

alas we are relegated ;_; no surprise really as we were in the relegation spots (but still... )
A little advice to the promoting teams, you are better off spending a good chunk of money on one leader, at least its better than to have none at all!

Some interesting shuffle through all the divisons. 12 disbanding teams is quite a high number for me though, and unfortunetely we are losing quite a lot longterm and good managers. CT will be then once again full of new managers. That's quite an exciting thing on the other way.

Sad to see the likes of Nutresa and Bacardi go. That being said, the new season looks very exciting and will be a thrill to start transfers with the new free agents on the market

Happy to be promoting to PCT.
N°1 objective: do better than Strava.
Meh, who are we kidding, let's just make the best of it and try to stay clear of relegation, no matter how tough it'll be |
