It's good that your a/c will be taken over by a friend. In my opinion, a developed team and its history is an asset that I feel hard to give up.

If my team failed to promote in any one of last few seasons, I have already given up them.

After this season, at least one of my team will start to gradually change from 5 star team to 3 star team and then maintain similar quality. I want to try to play in this quality level. This will be a long progress because I still need to save tokens during the rebuilding progress. If this task is difficult, I may also finally give up these teams.

So I hope my teams will win the remaining competitions because they may have no chance for a few seasons..
