Big congratulations Balev! It was indeed your season.
Are you selling up this season and dropping down? Or just looking to re-tool?
As for the "strength difference" ... There was like 4 win differences between conferences last season. As long as there's no easy beat teams, the strength in the league overall is plenty good. I'm just wishing there were more teams that are even stronger and seriously contending!
Good luck for season 70 everyone!
