Angry Argh!! Stupid Chairman

Ok so I'm managing Bayern Munich, Inter offer me £11m for Luca Podolksi and the chairman pipes up with the "Offer was too good to turn down" line and he confirmed the transfer as well, which annoyed me!

BUT

Then, a whole host of clubs offer £9.25m for Miroslav Klose and yet again the chairman accepts the offer!!!

2 of my top 3 strikers going for a fee of £20m!!!

Why do they wanna sell my top players for less then what I could of got if I wanted to sell them???

Bristol City - Premier League here we come!!!

Its annoying, it happened to me before with Corluka and Richards in 2 separate games.
If you're getting a big fee it doesn't bother you as much but this would really annoy me. All you can do is try offering tempting contracts before its confirmed or just buy better replacements eg. Briand, Huntelaar?

Why did that happen? I mean such a big club like the german giants Bayern should only consider selling at 30 million. It has to be a bug or something?
Its just nonsense.

unlucky mate
best bet is to offer bigger wages

hope you get 2 more good strikers that are as good or better than klose and podolski

funnily enough, Saivet is on his way to the club in the January window for a paltry 3m!

The whole thing must be because the chairman has a high interference stat or something like that!

Plus on the bright side of things, Klose is annoying... He keeps getting homesick which is odd considering he's a german international playing for a german team......

Well he's technically Polish

But anyway, if you're in season 1 then Klose shouldn't really leave considering he has only just joined, and you still got Luca Toni right?

Just offer them higher wages, and if that still don't work, there are plenty of great players around everywhere!!!!!

Good Luck

Nah, I won't stop playing just cos of that, like people have said, there are better players out there, for probably half the cost of what I've sold Klose n Podolski for...

By the way, I'm now into the 2nd season, only just into September 08, with Klose and Podolski going in August..

Up-front, my options are now:
Vagner Love - £6m signing
Zarate - £4m signing
Henry Saivet - £3m when he joins in January
Goldstein - £250k when he joins in January
Michael Seifert (He's a 16 yr old in my U-18's with 18 for finishing!)
Luca Toni (Not exactly Mr Consistent!!)

Also got Lulinha, Buonontte or whatever it is and Renato Augusto in the squad so I should be ok to be honest

Thing is, I'm not doing too well... I finished 4th last season as I had a mid season slump and struggled to get out of it... I'm 4th at the mo, but I downloaded capitano's tactic last night and T.H's one so I'll give them a go to see how I get on... I may turn the whole thing into a story... hmmm

Funny thing is, my finances are really good, into about £20m even after my epic £40m spending spree so far.... lol

Looks like I'll be working on a story then!
