If I retire now, do I keep the trophy for life, or something like that?

No, you have to bring it back in person to the organisers at your expense. And retire? This is the Hotel California of competitions - only Beefy and Bomber have "left" and nobody's seen them since 

Zinman,

Not strictly true, I left, no-one noticed   , I occasionally log in for a catch up, but no one has missed me    . I sometimes think about 're-joining the prediction league but the frustrations caused by the greed league and our prolonged self-destruction in dinosaur coach selection makes me wonder if, working shifts for the NHS, I can give it the commitment you guys and girls deserve.

I will give it some thought.

Back or not, Either way,  good luck to all the participants

Hey 4eva I look for ya, but if you don't post it's a little rude to check up on folks. Don't think nobody notices.

Hi Blue, I was being a little tongue in cheek but thank you, and of course you are right, people leave, maybe not leave, but stop posting for many reasons.
Mine is / was my hatred of the greed league and what the FA are doing to the common / working man's / woman's game.
Missed you guys including beefy but with the pandemic it's been a hard two and a half years.
Still trying to decide about the prediction league.

Take care all

I know what you mean about the way football is going (also the way the world is going!) but doing this prediction league at least gives me - and hopefully others - a bit of light relief. Join if you can and I promise we'll be gentle with you.

And where's the other escapee, the Vicar?

An awful lot of true football supporters are not impressed with the greed league - the buying of cups and trophies is not what the game
is all about IMO. The look at me I've got loads a money brigade have a place in a world of real football, not in my book.

Is Beefy coming back - if he is he can take over my promotion and I will start afresh in the championship.

No sign off Beefy, I will carry on in the PL with the trail blazers. Good luck everyone.
