Teams currently in for Yilmaz:

US Palermo -
FC Basel -
Celtic -
Anzhi -
AJ Auxerre -
Beşiktaş JK -
Sevilla -
Estudiantes -
Flamengo -
Portsmouth -

Palermo and Sevilla will need to change their bids to be included, as I don't think it'd be fair to accept p/e from some clubs.

Sevilla got promoted therefore can't bid like me.

Of course there is an element of luck and I agree, it's not just hard work but I think if you put the work in, you will get what you deserve, a move to a bigger club. You worked hard at Malaga and moved to Lazio, Hamburg to Madrid(I think) me from Sao Paulo to Bayern, all in my opinion well deserved.

I'm not gonna go on about Portsmouth but he hasn't signed anyone since Nov 16th.

Can you tell me, how did you judge him to be extremely hard working? I don't doubt it but what exactly do you look at when judging?

I could....


But that would mean going back and forwards over this for the next 3-4 pages when we both have different views and neither will bend...

I've no interest in that anymore, I have a different opinion on this and we shall have to agree to disagree...


I've wasted far to much time arguing on these boards and (eventually) I learned, its pretty counter-productive at the end of the day...


I'm just going to give my views & not get into these arguments anymore

I honestly don't see the former portsmouth managers point.

He placed low in the league and didn't have a cup run, how exactly did he think his ranking would rise?

My ranking isn't amazing despite walking away with D4 and having the longest unbeaten record in the game world, mostly because my cup run was non-existant. I prioritised winning the league over doing well in the cup, this cost me manager points. Beating teams in the leagues above you is how you rise. If you want good manager rankings, finishing near the bottom of your league table and not having a cup run isn't going to do much for you.

PPPP got to 3rd in the rankings with a pretty **** club on the back of a promotion and 2 good cup runs, he earned it.

Portsmouth should have moved to a better club in a lower league, I would have, and his ratings would have jumped massively very quickly.

The current way is flawed of course, I think all potential ways would be, but the current way is the best way in my opinion to go about it.

The best thing about it is that it takes it out of our hands and there can be no arguments about it. Yes there can be arguments about how points are amassed, but not about who is higher in the rankings at decision time.

There is the potential for there to be a tie, as I mentioned before. I think we need to decide on how that is settled should it ever come about. My vote would be a friendly between the two tied clubs.

I had two great Cup runs in season 1 and I was very near the top of the rankings at that stage, so I agree a good cup run will help.

Also the fact I am Genoa helps. I have had a terrible season this season and think I am in the middle of the rankings, which again highlights the advantage the smaller clubs have regards rankings. As seaneh pointed out he walkedmy division with Sporting which didn't do much for his rankings at all.

If you have grand designs on managing one of the bigger clubs in the future, I don't see the problem in moving about the free clubs to try and see how that affects your rankings.

I certainly don't understand why somebody would rule out dropping down a division to another club who are bigger in stature and with more financial potential than their current club.

I have to admit, I got seriously burnt out for a while and didn't bother logging in for days, got relegated after finishing 8th last season........West Brom will be back!!

Mr Blobby

Lads i'm a bit worried... Swoody hasn't posted in 22 hours, 44 minutes :eek:

Quick update on Tevez offers, all 3 are good but without me being able to strengthen my defence I believe he won't be leaving.

After 8 tonight I'll probably just go into next season with the same squad.

Lord TSC

5 offers in on strikers. Expecting all to be rejected :P

Meanwhile,

The offer for Paul BAYSSE of Tottenham Hotspur from Olympiacos has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.

9m. Profit of 1.2m in the end.

Now to see if I can spend the cash :P

If I got Cahill or the other cb I more than likely would have taken your offer but without strengthening both ends of my team letting go a striker that carry me is pointless.

Also looking forward to the world cup starting tomorrow. Managed to take USA to the finals, beating Argentina home and away topping the group. Does anyone else take the international management serious?

Something different anyways, looking forward to it. Only side that was left that took my attention when looking at the international teams was Mexico.

In a group with Holland, Cameroon and Mali.

Lads, I might be willing to sell Pereira (D DM M, R, 90).

Would be willing to trade him and Cardozo for a quality FC.

Negotiating normally involves some measure of compromise though, not one party bending the other over a barrel.

'Certain people' wind me up.
