I do feel a lot of the moaning is self serving rubbish. Many of those whining come from 3 categories:
- 1) Managers that had VERY young squads with low wages and high performances ...poor dears now having to pay the going rate for the players and their performances
- 2) Managers that had paid over the odds on wages already.... and its clear there were loads of them (the amount of mail comments on £50k WA bids on awful average players were a-plenty)... it was made very clear since reset and in blogs that wages would increase (Clearly it didn't work after reset as it should have, but it was well documented)
- 3) FML managers that traded their eway to the top (or tried to) and now see the TV's are showing this to be a more difficult route (but still there are plenty that not only ask for £4mil on a 25 year old AMC, with a TV of £3mil, but a sell on % as well.... the audacity!)... Whooops.... not as easy to dupe managers.... now only the best salespeople will be able to continue with that angle on the game.
Added in to the above reasons Wage Auction time has always been slow on transfers and fast on bargain hunting.
I'm not necessarily saying that the new system hasn't affected the volume of transfers (it was always going to slow things down as it bedded in), or that it won't continue to be a bit slower as the 'traders' are more obviously trying to sell over the going rate, but that it's too early to conclude the Transfer Market is dead.
So, for me, the pricing system can be painful, but will take time to bed in with managers needing to reacclimatise with the fact they have less to spend first. This, I hope, will reduce the wages being paid in general and wages reducing over the next few months.....
One final annoyance on the moans. If you don't like the prices or wages of prospective purchases... don't bloody buy them. Equally, if you can't sell players... have you considered they are either gash, or you are asking for too much... just a thought....
There..... I am cleansed.
