I frankly didn't know how you wrote as much as you did for as many different leagues. I'm glad to hear you'll be sticking around while also making time for yourself outside of your writing. You're an incredible resource for people who follow these leagues, and, I can only assume, this will one day pay off in the form of a full-salary-and-benefits job. Good stuff, John!

"On biting off more than you can chew" --I've been a happy paid subscriber here but have always wondered if you could advocate a bit more for people to sign up for paid subscriptions? Your work is truly priceless, so our few bucks devoted your way is a bargain!

On that note, wouldn't you otherwise consider a Patreon set up? Maybe then just offer a quarterly or bimonthly Patreon-only or substack premium subscriber Zoom call with you as part of that patronage?

Finally, we completely understand about why you need to sacrifice USL Super League coverage in the coming months in order to preserve your social life. But why not take on an (female?) intern whom you could tutor into a worthy partner who can help you expand your readership far and widely into the Super League audience, for the near and far future?
