Say, 2 of 4 lawyers must be accepted, but you can also nominate 2 or 3 players that absolutely won't get an offer made on.

As you are nominating 2, that doesn't achieve anything. You just accept the two you nominate.

Does seem to be two camps on what they get from the game and whether they would like it to evolve.

I would say you can nominate three of five end of season lawyers and the other two are at random, the other two have to be sold but not necessarily to lawyers.

No, I'm saying nominate those that can't receive an offer - all offers would be random barring your 'protected' players

You've gone from 100% against forced sales, to 2 players who are drawn at random and you have no choice but to sell both

So no nominating of players to be included at all? Seems a sensible approach.

Azzy's way still feels the best to me

Afro, I'm trying to find a balance, bare with me

I am against it but trying to find a compromise.

BigFellasAfro wrote:Azzy's way still feels the best to me

I knew you'd all come round eventually

I think this has been a very fun and lively first season. Rather than make wholesale changes - star players, lots of forced player sales etc - we should try and keep it as normal as possible. But spice it up slightly.

I really do think we should cut two teams though.

Marky wrote: bare with me

Afro run as fast as you can right now

I'm just kidding you Marky.

I think there is a compromise in there. Azzy's way is the closest thing to it at the moment (me, I'd have 5 lawyers, no protected players, no nominating any of them and having to sell 4 of them )

I also thinking cutting the non-participating managers loose is a good plan

speaking of lawyers when are we getting todays

Fernando wrote:speaking of lawyers when are we getting todays

Later, and you have to accept them both or Afro will fire you

So here's what we're looking at:

1. End of season Lawyers
2. Cutting some teams, probably 2
3. Changing the penalties for not submitting tactics or voting

I don't see anything else needing changing though.

CF's bound to get the same two players again as well

I seem to be developing a reputation for trying to make things as difficult and awkward as possible.

Seems all my hard work is finally paying off

It's David Moyes's fault Affers, he's finally rubbing off on you.

4. Following a mass takeover from MK Dons owneers, all the teams to relocate to new countries meaning that your domestic players allocation changes completely. Spain, Italy, Germany and England becomes, Georgia, Belarus, Lithuania and Latvia

If its 5 lawyers at random, you should have to accept no more than 3 of them. That is something people would accept imo.

Azzy Mahmood wrote:It's David Moyes's fault Affers, he's finally rubbing off on you.

It's only taken 10 years then.

On that note, on behalf of all Everton fans, for anyone who watched that game last night, I'd like to apologise for the absolute dross that was served up and for the two hours that you have needlessly lost.

By far and away our worst performance of the season.

Marky wrote:If its 5 lawyers at random, you should have to accept no more than 3 of them. That is something people would accept imo.

Id accept 3 if can choose 2 as Azzy suggested

Brb, off to TM to quickly get prices for Marian Pahars, Igor Stepanovs and Vitali Astafjevs

Azzy Mahmood wrote:It's David Moyes's fault Affers, he's finally rubbing off on you.

He wishes...

Boom, sex joke about David Moyes. That one comes off the to-do list.

Marky wrote:If its 5 lawyers at random, you should have to accept no more than 3 of them. That is something people would accept imo.

I still think 2 nominated, 3 random, 3 protected players and you have to accept 4 out of the 5

i would like to stay on as manager next season

Afro's to-do list or yours?

Everyone who wants to stay can stay, but those who don't want to carry on can let us know so we can plan the season properly

How about this approach (2 nominated, 3 random, any 3 from 5), but you don't get to protect any from being drawn randomly

Knocked off my list when he was a CB at Bristol City in my youth.

Id settle for that

Done deal. Make it so #1.

These discussions are fruitful of course, but we still need Hero to have his say on the direction of the league. There may be other options to explore.

Azzrictions scores this weekend were:

Olly 12
Azzy 11
Afro + GSC 9
Cherries 6
Marky 5

So Olly gets to add £1m to his budget

Can we add our bonuses yet? I have two TPs I'd like to make

Afternoon, whats going on?

We're awaiting word on:

1. Adding our bonuses
2. New Lawyers and injuries for the final league game
3. End of season Lawyers agreement (which I think we have)

How are you my dear boy?

Im good thanks Azzy. You?

Whats the End of Season lawyers agreement?

I think moving around countries would improve transfers tbh

It's where you sign your savings over to the 606v2 Euro Division legal department as collateral for your participation. If you miss votes or tactics we take the lot.

GSC wrote:I think moving around countries would improve transfers tbh

I don't want a bunch of gringos in my team thanks. Plus it would only benefit the manager who holds out the longest - if Gregers had to sell his Spaniards, he could command huge amounts for his better players, giving him a huge advantage in buying new players. I really hate this idea

Zebs - just at work, avoiding doing anything at all really. And thinking about pie. A lot.

Azzy Mahmood wrote:Can we add our bonuses yet? I have two TPs I'd like to make

Please guys, I want my TPs soooooo bad!

Results of the cup games too

BBC Gossip:
France international Moussa Sissoko, 23, is ready to spurn interest from across Europe to push through a move to Newcastle United - although QPR could look to hijack the Magpies' bid for the midfielder.

I knwo i said this yday but I would find it soooo funny if Arry hijacks a QPR transfer. I really want him to do it again.

I dont like the country swap idea. Ive built my teams based on that, I dont want to have to change it all now & get inflated prices on players.

Azzy, pie? As in nom nom Pie or 3.14159 Pie?

As in warm apple pie.

SUCK ON THAT ONE LEMONS

Afro - no thanks, I'll wait an hour to get my money

Marky will confirm bonuses when he's done the results. Shouldn't be long now, he was extending the deadline for everyone.

Lawyers/injuries will follow. Possibly this evening.
