Ted Lasso Regressive Needs 1 for 1997 Topic

One great opportunity to join a unique regressive league based on English Premier League soccer. It's a 24-team league but divided into an upper and lower league where only the upper league winner matters. Two teams get promoted and two teams get relegated each season plus there is a weighted lottery where all 20 non-playoff teams have a shot at a top 4 pick. All in all, it's reduced tanking and increased parity and overall enjoyment.

We are preparing for the 1997 draft and we need a new owner for our Man United squad (currently in the lower CL league). Roster below--and the team should have a high pick in the 97 draft. Hit me up if you have questions.

The 2003 Everton team currently has a 54-31 record, the highest total of runs scored in the entire league (by a wide margin) and a .667 Exp Pct. I am babysitting them for this season and will gladly turn them over to the new owner if you want to start playing them right away....

Stunned that neither of these teams has been claimed yet. Good rosters, great league concept, excellent commissioner...
