RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hey everyone, After five seasons as GM of the Cologne Express (it didn't nearly feel that long to be honest), I would like to announce that I am stepping down as General Manager. I really enjoyed my time as GM of the Express but I have a very busy time coming up in my real-life since I'll be graduating from university later this year and I don't want to half-ass things around here, so I decided to take that step. I always saw myself as more of a transition-GM anyway whose job it was to make sure that the team would be in good shape after losing Kendrick and to set us up fo a new era where we are ready to compete again. I think I have accomplished that now (we even managed to get Kendrick back), so with the team ready for the future and with a good mix of young and experienced players for the new GM to work with, I think that now is the right time to hand over the reins. So without further ado, I would like to announce that Devise22 will be taking over as the new GM of the Cologne Express! Devise had already helped me out as an inofficial Co-GM for a few seasons and I think that a member with his experience, dedication and expertise will be a great fit for this position. Thank you to all the people who helped and supported me when I was a GM, especially Kendrick and Devise, and to all my players and the people I had gotten to work with over the years as well. You have made this a very enjoyable experience, so thank you for that ! Cheers, David :col: der meister, Kendrick and Munk 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/16365-cologne-express-gm-change/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregreg 930 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Wow interesting to see 2 GM changes, mid season. It's past mid-season, all the gms will be looking towards making off-season moves at this point so makes sense to do it now Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/16365-cologne-express-gm-change/#findComment-171579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devise 4,475 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've been doing lines and negotiation with some GM's for trades and what have you since I joined Cologne. This move was made mostly because Romanes wants to be free of the burden and it just makes logical sense when I'm already doing some of the work a GM is required to do anyway. We'll see how it goes, I'll probably re-evaluate once Laich is done his 8 seasons. But thanks for your tenure as GM Romanes and for all the back n forth in terms of how we wanted to see the team go. Hopefully we can win a Championship with the team you built. The real question though? Whose next to step down as GM this season?
