I certainly see your point and respect your decision, although it is a loss to the league and I hope you will reconsider. I personally do not think the Austria shenanigans were a 'bad thing'.

In my opinion, things were getting a bit boring of the 'same old, week in week out' kind. Even though there have been a few surprises, still the main powerhouses of the league would generally come out on top and it proved extremely difficult for anyone to really dislodge them from their position.

A big shake up like this resparked my interest in the league quite well and I for one am extremely curious how Austria is going to develop next year. Im a lot more interested in the current Austria than I was ever before, when it was just a case of 'lets see by how much they won this time'. There simply was no question of them *not* being on top for the forseeable future.

Yes, I too profited from the sale of players, but any team could have and many did. In fact, its a slight irony that a team that has been almost proverbial for profiting from trades is now spreading out its talent again all over the league.
