    Yeh Eds, but you've paid £13 mill for 1 position, whereas we've spent £2.5 mill

    Going to have different managers for different opposition?
    Don't see how there's any value at all in having more than one unless the one you're buying is an improvement on the one you've got.

    And don't see how they're more important than people realise either. These are all top quality managers we're bidding on. It's not like somebody's being lumped with Paul Sturrock.

    Guardiola is an improvement on Wenger.

    And Conte is there to allow us to play 3atb.

    I genuinely wanted both at that price. I'd basically assumed that I'd only get 1 though.

    It definitely wasn't me trying to bump prices. Genuinely satisfied with both, though 4 is a bit unnecessary. Still, when we have 330mil, an extra 2 mil on a quality manager isn't bad.

    By enough to justify the extra fee? Nah.

    Also find it wholly unrealistic that you'd change managers between matches

    What would be much better than me trying to do it is working out the best times as a group, because at the moment I'm just guessing what works best for people combined with trying to get the auction done fairly quickly.

    Especially given that I don't need to be online to do anything really so it can finish whenever.

    What would be best is if you're going to set a time you make sure all pairs know about it

    Me and Speriz have now been left with 6 managers left to pick from and its the dire end of them. Fucking bullshit

    Maybe you should have actually come in the thread before the end of the auction then.

    4 hours made all the difference obvz.

    Considering the main parts of the bidding happen in the last hour of course it fucking makes a difference

  16. Cevno IV Narang

    You've both been online and have posted during that time, tbf and the rules didn't say that the days have to be 24 hours.

    Still can trade managers off others.

  17. Verigoat S Verigotta

    We were both online but not in here, you're not expected to check this thread every time you log on

    And while the rules don't say they have to be 24, we knew what the fucking time was before it changed

    Stop defending it, its a shit thing to do if you don't make sure everyone knows. End of

    Well if you've not checked the thread in 20 hours then more fool you.

    So this is what I'm proposing happens for the next few rounds:

    Round 3 and 4 - 11 AM UTC/12 noon BST/9 PM AEST on Monday 20th May
    Round 5 - 7PM UTC/8PM BST/ 5 AM AEST on Tuesday 21st May
    Round 6 - 2 PM UTC/3PM BST/midnight AEST on Wednesday 22nd May
    Round 7 - 9 AM UTC/10 AM BST/7 PM AEST on Thursday 23rd May


    Does that work?
    Is that being particularly unfair on anyone?
    Discuss.
