I began this debate because, although I benefit from the current system, I can understand the frustration of those who never get a winning bid.
It's not always easy to be constructive. Very few managers are voting constructively here - most will just vote for the option that sees them profit the most. Charlie's post was, 'I can't win so it's unfair'
Taking things to the extreme, everything is unfair. Managers dealing with mates is unfair; managers not being online when a player becomes available is unfair; bidding over by one pound and then seeing the player go elsewhere is unfair.
Yes, I got shirty but I have had years of listening to whining about me buying the best players from the list when they become available. I'm not cheating but I have been called that; I have no insider knowledge but I've been accused of being Ben and Justin's mate. It's a part of the game that I have become good at and because I'm good at it (as perhaps are others) then we should stop it and spread the love.
Earlier in this thread, I put forward opposition to excluding new managers as I want to get them involved. I am probably the most constructive manager on here. However, I am human enough to get peeved when I hear another post exhorting us to drive the Frankenstein monster from the village.
Fair enough response pal.... And being called a cheat would annoy the most placid of folk.
