WTF never seen this before in 33 seasons, but will it last ? ...

I thought Leverkusen would stop a second stockmarket crash, but no!
Another -5000 to stock prices!! I imagine -10k means I'm not no1 anymore! Harsh...

Karlsruhe drew?

Tom, you're right! My mistake, and a slight relief...

Good starts from the traditional top two and from a personal point of view it's nice to see Deportivo back in the top flight and doing well...

Not the greatest start from the new manager at Sevilla. Things can only get better from here!

You've gone in to a tough league there against people with plenty of resources, you'll get there, will take time to build up the club infrastructure etc

Email turns all sent out.

Cheers Paul , Sonething to read while watching the cricket.

Loving the new player of the week thing Paul! Thanks for the turn! Now to have a good read!

Hi Paul,
I've got a SO for Plymouth for my CL match, but should be Paris. I think the system still thinks I'm in a different group.
Also, my contracts manager has reduced a load of wages - including for players in my main squad who I'd set to 150k to stop them crying like babies...
Andy.

I noticed this too, few of mine have been reduced too.  However, I have also noticed that the ones that have been reduced from 150k to 95k have also stayed as attitude 2 and not gone back to attitude 1.  Is this permanent or is there a time limit to when they will return to attitude 1 please?

Also, like the fast responses from permanent bids now.  Is there a better time for these bids to be accepted as a lot of mine have been flat refused as the player is not for sale at this time which is fair enough as I wouldn't sell any of my important players at this time either.  Are there certain times of the season when they are more likely to be accepted/rejected/countered?  For example, less likely now (start of the season), but more likely in weeks 23 and 24?

Thanks

New turn sent with corrected ECC opponent scout report.

Contract Managers will now reduce wages as well as increase them but I will check to see if this has affected anybody and maybe add a proviso not to adjest anybody whose normal attitude is 1. more info to follow.

Sounds good to me. Cheers Paul.

Okay yes a lot of players have been affected by the "paydrop syndrome" that happened this week because of the changes I made to how contract managers work.

So I have reset the affected players and set them back to their correct wages of £150,000. Some of you were paying more than £150,000 which is not neccessary and gains you nothing so I left these players at £150,000 as well, but will happily put them up further if you tell me to.

Contract Managers now ignore players who earn more than £95,000 per week.

Attitude changes dont take effect until the following week. Now I've reset the affected players everybody should be okay.

I do nag players about responding to permanent bids but unfortunately it takes up a dealing slot that most players cant afford to use on these actions. I am working on adding a new section to the Order sheet where you can respond to permanent bids without using a dealing slot. More to follow on that when its working.

Hi Paul,

Just to clarify: 

So for this week the attitudes are as they are on the current turn 

and

Any attitude 1 players will be back on £150k rather than the £95k automatically set so they remain as attitude 2?

Thanks

Ben

Hi Paul,

Just realised I didn't get an available staff sheet this week in my turn - usually comes with Plymouth as an expert turn - does anyone have one pls?

Thanks
