Reports coming in to the PFL HQ suggest that the Seafax Storm Management will shortly suspend operations, following a two-year search to find a new owner. Current owner Ted Samuels has been looking to sell since his own company’s value declined three years ago. With no new investors found (foreign investment groups are not allowed by PFL rules) and attendance down, the team may be deciding to downgrade. There is speculation that they might move to the EFC (Eborian Football Conference) for 2017-18 or 2018-19.

With the Victoria Panthers already winding down their current PFL existence, this would leave the league with 18 teams, pending the futures of Pottsburgh and Amorgan still being debated.

Pottsburgh and Amorgan have both been found to have broken Eborian Tax laws and contravened PFL financial rules- the penalties can result in expulsion from the league. Their appeals are due to be heard in late January 2017.
