The success-story of Kick-Ass

After the first few rounds of the Premier League, when I was still in the office, my team Kick-Ass was third from the bottom in the Premier League Fantasy Football league (out of a total of 26 teams). This league consists of transport planners from different Scott Wilson offices around the UK. 


In the office I was sitting next to Kenny, a dedicated Fantasy Football Manager since years, and whose advice are taken with a great deal of respect (at least regarding football!). However, due to my team's catastrophic start (even after I played my Transfer Wild Card), I strongly suspect that Kenny had his own agenda planting bad advice to secure his place in the top.


In December, when I left the office, my team had advanced to a modest 18th place (mainly because the managers in the bottom didn't bother to make transfers, not because I was scoring loads of points).


Today however, three months later, Kick-Ass has done the impossible and gone from bottom to 3rd(!), advancing past many managers taking this game as serious as the earthquake on Haiti. This can only be explained by the fact that I, myself, have been managing the team without bad influence. Ironically, the teams Kenny himself are managing are the only ones placed higher. 

Kenny's headstart was enormous, however, and I may have left Scott Wilson too late (by the way, now you also know the real reason for leaving!) but time will show if Kick-Ass can advance any further in the TC (Transport Consultancy) League. If I only could get to second place, it would beat any Hollywood filmmaker's definition of the word 'comeback'.
