- Around mid-season, manager of LFC is sacked and Sutter resigns
- New manager for LFC, new GM for Flames
- Remarkable climb up the standings for both teams
So how awesome would it be if the Flames ended up with a playoff spot, and Liverpool qualified for Europe, given how terribly both clubs started this season?

I did notice this, its been a really rough season as a fan and right now its all about wondering whether the bad luck continues or if they'll catch a break.
The thing that worries me about the Flames is that in my opinion, at the end of the season there could be 3-7 teams that finish the season with the same number of points and based on tie-breakers some teams are going to be disappointingly out of the playoffs for really marginal reasons.
With Liverpool, unfortunately they'd effectively have to run the table and have one of Spurs, Rentboys or City completely choke.
In both scenarios there exist elements of the equation that are outside of the control of the teams.
