The duty Of assigning a new Marshal is the Current Marshal's Unless he has passed away. It's really not Plarium's call. If the present Marshal was to come Back and complain about having his league given to someone else after an assigned change it would not be a good look. It could very well be that the marshals intent was to disband the league and that is also within his rights. As this is not a bug I will move the topic to to discussion.
