You need a title for sure. I have a few ideas that will help change your swagger.

This is new title has the feel of the late 80's early 90's boxing promoters. Put this on your business cards and require the PA guy in your arena to refer to you in this manner, instant street cred.
Consider upgrading the team name. Drop Clogs and insert Tenny Runners. The whole aura surrounding your franchise changes. You go from Large Anglo Saxon plodders to I am not exactly sure. But it is different for sure.
Maybe loosen the purse strings. Offer 3 months of supporter to those that roll over for you. This sounds expensive but if you think about it, you don't need to bring out this big gun until the playoffs. That is the historically bumpy time for the Clogs. I don't know if this tactic is against the rules, that would require reading the game manual, and I am not about to do that at this point in my game experience. Even if it is, refer to your title, you are a Shot Caller so it wouldn't apply to you.
