More good news for HGL, as I just yesterday received a confirmation from M a k e (Alanurmon Rikkaat, team page: (59111)) that they are interested in participating to Season 4 of HGL!

So if no further changes occur and all current managers continue on Season 4 as well, we're going to have 17 teams playing on Season 4.
(I wouldn't mind finding one more though for Season 4, as then every team would play every week of the Season 4)!

They have a young, hungry and developing team, with Top8-players salary of $148937 and those players' average age during HGL Season 3 is 24,9 years.

So should they have participated already to HGL on Season 3, they would've been last in top8-salary rankings with $148K (currently HGL's 16th top8-salary ranked team pays $262K weekly to their top8), but it's definitely noticeable that they would've also been the third youngest team in the whole league!
(It'll be interesting to compare next Seasons' values to these, to see how his team progresses from this Season to next - with such a young team there's a lot of developing potential waiting to be used).

In addition to these aforementioned top8-salary players they do have 20yo. MVP-potential player (with current $7491 salary) and 19yo. MVP ($5720), and their heights (206cm and 193cm, respectively) leaves lots of choices possible in terms of training choices/player development, and means they have quality material from which to develop both inside and outside threats for the future.

Welcome already beforehand, M a k e, on my behalf to HGL on Season 4 - naturally, I'm very glad to see a third Finnish team in HGL, and I have a strong feeling that cthulhu (from Suuret Muinaiset) and also other current HGL managers gladly welcome you aboard!

I'm in for season 4 and maybe for further seasons (y)

Excellent decision, and while basically needless to even say (to state the obvious), I'm very glad to see you wanting to keep on playing, WiMaOl... :)
So for now, due to your word 'maybe' I only added one + sign after your team name, as you prefer to evaluate your participation on season-to-season basis (which is totally fine - it just requires your announcement every season separately, so that we know if you´d like to continue on next season).

@all managers:
As you likely remember/can see, you can already sign up for Season 4 of HGL (and also to further Seasons with one '++'-announcement only, if you prefer to make a statement that you want to keep on playing as long as possible, season after season). As mentioned, I'll update list of Season 4 (and later Seasons') teams here: (328546.32).

So if you already know/have definitely decided you want to participate either on HGL Season 4 (played during next BB season as usual), or for all forthcoming HGL Seasons, please let me know either replying here (on either of these Official Threads, preferably on this one) or by sending me a BBMail.

As usual, let's try/aim to make decisions during the Regular Season (still 14 Rounds left to decide, so there's no rush) whether or not you want to participate for Season 4. Naturally, I hope to see as many of the current teams to continue, as possible. :)

I would like to be part of this awesome league next season and the coming ones too.

With this announcement, good news keep on coming - very glad to hear that!
As we've all noticed, you've also helped to create content for HGL (stats/tables), and it seems you'd be willing to keep on helping in the future as well on some HGL related tasks, so naturally this is more than welcome news - of course not only due to that, but also because you seem very smart, cordial and good spirited manager, and it's also great to keep on having many local competitors in HGL.

I've talked to my lawyer and he says :
"yes, GM, you should sign for another season, BUT you should ask for more money from the Commissionner if he's asking for more than ONE year".
So, I've consulted my bank and they said :
"Any money in your pocket will be welcome. Take the money and play, M.Demars !"

So, I think I should follow this good advices...

How much do you give if I, myself, sign for a 1+1 year ? And, BTW, how much (but I'm not sure you only could dream of offering that amount of money) would you give for a 1+(many years) extension to the contract ?

Economically yours,

I also intend to play in HGL as long as possible, and I don't intend to quit BB any time soon.

I love your sometimes confusing French humour demars, sometimes I don't even initially know how to respond... xD or in this case, offer... Maybe how about 2 delicious croissants per season instead of one, if you sign up for more than one season in one go - that's a hefty 100% increase so it's a generous offer, yes? ;) The only downside is, that this offer is only redeemable if you travel to Finland. You're free to consult to your lawyer though - please let me know what you decide, or what's your counter offer... :D

Excellent to hear that Pihija, and like you probably know, I'm very glad to have you as part of HGL... :)

"Ah crazy finnish"
That's what my lawyer said when I woke up him in the middle of the night carrying your answer to the previous offrer !

"How could he imagine bribing you with finnish croissants ?"
Well, I said, that's a good comment.

So , what is your gastronomic speciality that you love to eat, in the Santa Claus country ?
- dear ?
- fish ?
- potatoes ragout (added with some 97% alcohol) ?

Please let us know, we are aware of your answer.

Alright, you've got a fair point there, as French kitchen is one of the finest (if not THE finest) in the world - how could Finns create a worthy croissant for French food connoisseur, that has an acquired taste... Hmm... Maybe I'll raise my offer to a reindeer stew, especially now that lawyers are already included in this matter ;)
Plus, if needed, we can make that a non-traditional version (Finnish reindeer stew meets France) of the stew by adding a bit of cognac into it, if that's what's needed to seal the "more than 1 season in a row"-HGL deal.

As far as what I (and we as a nation in Finland) love to eat, someone told me there's 4000 character limitation in these posts so maybe it's better that I don't get started on this subject here due to that - from which you could probably conclude, that I love to talk about food.. probably more than most people would like to listen... xD
