League Reboot

by sodhat Tue Jul 16, 2013 9:25 am

First topic message reminder :

Please register your interest should we press ahead and reboot the league.

This is also a good chance to air grievances with current rules and suggest new ones, as well as any innovations you have to make it better.

We may entirely ignore all suggestions, such is our wont.

Cherries
Gregers
Olly
Azzy
ZZZ
Nando (probably)
Afro
Hero
GSC
Trebs
sodhat

Need another 1 (or 3 or 5 or 7....)

Team Selection

Every team valued at 100m or below is available

Everybody bids for their preferred team

Maximum bid is 120m, Minimum 70m. Bids must also be at least TM value of the club

Any money left over from the 120m budget goes into your budget for a player draft

Results
Same as before

Voting
Same as before, however 1 good/bad point for each team required

TP Limit
Draft = no TP limit
Start of the league = £10m limit
Each week = £1m increase
End of season 1 = £19m TP limit (based on 10 teams, no cup weeks as we'd do that at the end)
End of season 2 = £28m

You could make it £12m > £21m > £30m if preferred?

This will change slightly depending on number of teams.

Injuries
AGREED AS 4 INJURIES PER WEEK

Do we want any form of transfers healing injuries?
NO

Whether to ditch U21 and nationality restrictions
AGREED TO DITCH BOTH

League structure - single league or not?
SINGLE LEAGUE

Cash loans (inc. implied in deals) being banned
NO CASH LOANS ALLOWED, ALL TRANSFERS MUST BE PAID UP FRONT

End of season loans when you have nothing to play for - how to stop these

I posted something on both the other leagues, but go ahead and post in other places

Azzy Mahmood
Director of Advertising and Recruitment

Think...do you really need to print this email? Save a tree!

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 10:11 am

Okay, I have sent about a dozen PMs to those people who aren't already a part of this and who post on that transfer window thread a lot.

by sodhat Mon Jul 22, 2013 10:19 am

Did you use the email signature that I made for you?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 22, 2013 10:47 am

I can post tactics on a Saturday if you dudes want

Will have my team bid in this afternoon

Haha, I didn't see it until just now Doh

No responses as yet either!

Olly, everyone knows your bidding on Norwich mate Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:04 am

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out Zebs!!

by **Afro** Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:09 am

They are a great option IMO

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:11 am

I'm just trying to work out what to bid, because I'm not sure if Afro is bluffing or not, trying to make me bid a lot

Also looking up some targets

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:20 am

You have to think most people will bid low to keep more money for the transfers.
Depends how badly you want them too. If I lose out on my team I have backups in place, hopefully there not all taken.

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:21 am

I went for a slightly off-piste selection, but if I don't get them (I can't see anyone bidding that high with the draft afterwards), I'll be happy with whatever team I get really.

By the way, if anyone bids for and wins Anderlecht, you have to change the name to "Handy Lech".

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:35 am

I really want my first choice team but I wont be too disappointed if I dont win them, I have backups.
I just want to know now so I can start planning my draft players lol. Works dead today so it gives me time to browse TM.

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:36 am

Guys I've just realised, I'm on holiday from this Friday to the following Sunday picard

If you don't get a new manager, I'll pull out, because I'd miss the team draft, and player draft, which would leave me at a huge disadvantage.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:52 am

Nahh dont pull out Azzy. We should find out on clubs soon, PM a list of players to 2 runners with 1st choice, 2nd choice players. As 2 runners will have the list it will work fairly.

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:59 am

If we find out teams today or tomorrow, I can prepare my player draft bids before I go. But then you'd be looking at fixtures the following week, and I won't be able to provide tactics, do more TPs, releases, etc etc. This has come at the worst possible time for me.

Unless someone who's not taking part can run my team and text me stuff, I won't be able to join it looks like Sad

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:01 pm

We can work around it Azzy dont worry. Let just see when clubs bids are revealed then go from there.

by sodhat Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:07 pm

We can wait until you return bro.
No rush at this end. It might be nice to align it with the actual season start too so ratings can begin fluctuating again.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:14 pm

To be fair I don't think we're in any major rush

3 weeks & 5 days...I cant wait that long. Im the self proclaimed Special Tika Taka One, my team needs to start showing off thier skillz.

by **Afro** Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:31 pm

Got Trebs' bid as well now, so Olly GSC and a new manager if we have one

by Gregers Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:15 pm

So that is 8 bids, can you confirm how many teams have been bid on?

Obviously if it is 8 then don't tell us, but if its 3 or 4 could be very interesting

by **Afro** Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:19 pm

9 bids now, less than 9 teams bid on. As it stands, there will be a rebid needed on first round bids as thone team has joint highest bids

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:21 pm

*cue everyone increasing their bids*

by **Afro** Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:21 pm

Azzy - presumably no responses to your PMs yet. Any opened and ignored?

by **Afro** Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:21 pm

No rebids

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:26 pm

Ah damn it.

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:27 pm

One read and not responded to, one read and rejected (by TSJ, which I expected).

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:51 pm

Did I win my club Afro?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Jul 22, 2013 3:21 pm

Bid....

IN

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 3:21 pm

So it's GSC and a new manager then...

by **Afro** Mon Jul 22, 2013 3:22 pm

Got it Olly.

Just GSC and a.n. other new manager

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Jul 22, 2013 4:21 pm

Come on GSC.

Any luck with new manager Azzy?

by GSC Mon Jul 22, 2013 4:23 pm

Won't be in until at least tomorrow

by Guest Mon Jul 22, 2013 4:23 pm

None Zebs. Remaining PMs all remain unopened.

GSC wrote:Won't be in until at least tomorrow

You take long dude, all you have to do is pich a team & SHAZAM!!

Fair enough Azzy. Looks like it will be just 11 of us.

by Guest Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:06 am

All PMs opened, no responses Sad

by **Afro** Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:16 am

Oh well. I don't think you should be using that email signature Soddy created for you.

We go with 11 then?

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:17 am

I say go with the 10 bids we have now. GSC taking long Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:46 am

11 is fine innit, a week off now and then will do nobody any harm

by **Afro** Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:56 am

It is one week off in 10.

I think we can all live with that.

Do we want a 10 game or 20 game season (i.e. play each other once or twice?)

by Fernando Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:57 am

i think once is enough if having a cup

by sodhat Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:57 am

20 is ambitious Laugh

I foresee people getting bored of that. But then again, season 2 would be playing the same teams anyway...

Why not do like the Argies - Apetura and Clausura?

A proposal - discuss...

by sodhat Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:04 am

Well it's effectively 2 seasons, except at the end we could have a play off between the Apetura champ and the Clausura champ for the ultimate V2 super team.

Do away with the cup IMO.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:06 am

ONE LEAGUE, 11 TEAMS, ONE PRIZE

LETS DO THIS

by **Afro** Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:07 am

Olly is in charge of Sky style marketing then I guess Laugh

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:15 am

Im sold

by **Afro** Tue Jul 23, 2013 1:41 pm

So 11 it is then Ok!

Just need GSC's team bid then, and I can get on with the Team bids

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Jul 23, 2013 2:02 pm
