I dont think you need to apologize - this thread is similar to the thread a while back on Mutual TIEs...(where incredibly some people still think its a serious thread)

I think people are either choosing to agree/sympathy with your point or are just stubbornly using the lack of clarification in the rules (combined maybe with a hint of envy) to say tough cheese.

Most of the reactions you have sparked are simply personal opinions or a somewhat deliberate misunderstanding of the point you are trying to raise.

Its another subject open for debate with no likely winner... one corner will always defend 'its not forbidden in the rules so we can do it' but if you are not allowed to sign-on on behalf of someone else then how can borrowing a fellow managers bank account (or are you telling me the that these managers really wanted to place an opening bid on a player with 71hrs & 55mins to go?!) be a loophole that SHOULD now be outlined in the rules as cheating....

Well said.


Except for using sympathy instead of sympathize, of course.

To clarify - I wasn't being sympathetic with anyone. I just wanted more elaboration on what exactly the team had done wrong.

I still don't see how a team can do what is suggested in this message. Can you double bid on players by using the cash from a pending sale? If so, I agree that the loophole should be closed. However, that wasn't the case in the situation described. He clearly did not buy back his sold players.

Now, are you saying that the players were sold above market value? If so, this is clearly illegal and is definitely collusion between the two teams. I would report it to a GM immediately. Again, I don't know if that was the case here.

I don't know if an apology was required. I was just talking facts.
