Runaround................Now!

Grezz once said "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen", and at game 16 of season 10, that's exactly what he did. Yes, Grezz made the backward leap from the Manta Premiership to Manta Division 8 to take on a new challenge with a team that was lying in 19th position. He renamed his new charges 'Ex Mundi' and set about climbing up the table. The club finished season 10 in 4th place winning every game under Grezz's management. A fantastic achievement.

He was followed soon after at game 22 by Rocketman, who left his post at Chelski of the Eros Premiership. Rocketman took over Ghosts AFC who finished a respectable 8th position.

I, Webby, joined the Division 8 challenge at the end of season 10 after taking Lancaster Bombers to 12th position in the Manta Premiership following many seasons of relegation battles. I renamed my new club, who finished 19th in season 10, Ancestral Bombers as a respectful nod to my previous club. I'm happy to say that Ancestral Bombers were the first team to beat Grezz's Ex Mundi in game 2 of this season, winning 2-1 at home.

It's an interesting new challenge here in division 8, and the manager hopping doesn't end yet. JamieHutber, former manager of Manta Championship outfit Bulletboys, decided to turn down the opportunity of managing in the Premiership (they won the Championship) to take on new foes down here in division 8. Jamie is now managing Bowen FC.

Funnily enough, as I write this, at game 10, you could cover the four of us with a blanket, we're that close, and I don't mean in some homo-erotic way. Take a look at this screenshot:



Anyone else want to join the adventure?

At some point in the future - absolutely. But as of right now, I've still got a lot to play for with Chaos Shumen.

Good luck in the new challenge guys and make sure to catch me in the Premiership, before I catch up on you with a future Div 8 team :)
