Suggestion
Building on Battists' suggestion above (post 4), I'd like Owners to have priorities (some might want to win immediately, others might care more about turning a profit, etc). The occasionally mystifying 'season score' could be replaced by an Owner's 'Report Card', which informs the Human Manager about how the Owner feels the Manager performed with finances, W/L record, drafting, and transactions. Interfering Owners could also demand that a player be traded (perhaps because he is bad for PR) or that a particular free agent be signed, with a non-compliant GM running the risk of incurring the Owner's wrath and losing his job. Owner personalities should be optional if implemented.
Reason
It would make it easier to know when firing is imminent, and what areas one could improve on in order to keep a job. The game could become more interesting and challenging with a meddlesome owner whose priorities conflict with the human GM's. Owner personalities would add realism, and could add incentive to jump jobs, and to chart a more eventful career path.
Priority
Low, but I think it would be fun.
