:o BIG NEWS DUE!!!

"as it may be that the manager makes controversial statements, which are likely to deter the sponsor from offering so much."

marc, could you give an example of this please??

 

[Simon]

gosh marc. hmmm, i have to admit, i like the current set up better. this is all quite perplexing if you ask me. but then again it i suppose it could work...well maybe

ill say this once and once only, to everyone if you dont like it, leave, every manager is replaceable...

And i will back this up and add, that the people who always complain are the people who always want new things and when they are added they are the 1st to complain...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I like it. I like it a lot. I predicted it though.

 

[age_master]

Excellent.

I'm very pleased with the Board's timing of announcing this improvement. If it were to be announced later in the season it would be a very hectic and confusing time. And commendation to Marc aswell, deciding to give up his side for the betterment of the game.

agreed on both counts

look forward to seeing more details on how it will work in the near future.

 

[Simon]

I like it. I like it a lot. I predicted it though.

because ur smart, or because u saw it in the staff forum

 

[andyc]

sounds interesting

 

[Slats4ever]

Sounds very very good, but one problem I have with this is that it does not seem to reward managers like say, Cloete or myself, who rely heavily on trading etc...this doesn't seem to reward that work...

what would u be rewarded for man? your trading work stinks... if anything you shuld be punished

 

[Slats4ever]

don't steal my glory. i was the first to officially predict it in this thread

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Yeh, I am pretty smart aren't I.

Only because you used the "What Would Liam Think?" pattern of thought.

I wonder if we'd have got any reaction from nibbs if it had been any other person running the finance?

Well on obvious situation would an extreme outburst of displeasure when a player gets injured.

Although, don't worry Cloete, the sponsors haven't seen it!

Why do we want to stop these sorts of comments? I mean..I think it's great playing up my team and playing down nibbs' and stuff. Underrating player and teams and overrating others. It adds to the atmosphere of the game.

I mean I don't want everyobody to go around nad simply say. Unlucky to your team played an excellent game, we were lucky to win. I mean.. where's the rivalry? Where's the passion?

Also, on another note if the difference between divisions as simon says "Isn't that great" does that mean I'm going to have to buy almost a completely new team becuase mine would be over the budget? I think it's ridiculous if it isn't quite different, becuase people who are promoted/relegated will get the new budget the next year, maybe even for trading.

The finances have the potential to make it great or the potential to make it not so great. The only problem I'm seeing is that there's always going to be some division or some group of managers who are marginalised... and I'm not so sure we want that. But.. let's hope we can figure something out.

 

[marc71178]

Well the figures have all been announced, and bearing in mind people can only keep 10 of 16 I can't see any team is unduly penalised at all.

And no, the difference isn't that big, but it is still a difference and looking at the teams anyway the teams with bigger budgets tend to be the one's who have the bigger value players.

At the risk of being destroyed by everyone else; I agree 100%
