pdid Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Firstly, just like to say hello to everyone and congratulate you on a useful forum. Now then, i`m 6 seasons in with Blackburn, every now and again i get phantom bids, usually for more than my transfer budget, for players i have not even looked at. Is this a bug? None of the offers have ever been accepted though. Cheers P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmmatt Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 i've had this very same problem and just put it down to interfering chairman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamalek Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 yer ditto, i randomly saw my club offergin fro leroy lita once, i too thought it mite be the chairman there are also times when it says 'chelsea have offerred 20 million for newcastles steven taylor' but when you click n him, you see that he moved a season earlier for 13 mil. Ive had that a lot and am pretty sure that's a bug. nb. its not just steven taylor that was just an example from my latest game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Mc. Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think he went for 19.5 million in my game - player values in the top divisions need a good sorting. As fara s phantom transfers go Ive had a phantom trnasfer for every player Ive sent out on loan. Im in my second season with Forest and this year loaned out 3 players. This is reflected on the transfer screen but for each of these 3 players there is a fictional loan transfer (to a different club from the real loan)that has never actually happened!

kev_lfc Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I recently had this problem too. I had just finished season 1 as Liverpool and a news item appeared saying my bid for some South American player (can't remember who) had been accepted. The guy was a total donkey - no way in a millions seasons I would have made a bid for him of my own accord. Fortunately, I cancelled the transfer.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 20, 2006 SI Staff Share Posted April 20, 2006 If you go on holiday then the assistant manager will by default handle transfers and contracts - thus you might find he has started some deals during this period once you come back from transfer. (this has to be done otherwise you might go on holiday with a team come back several seasons later and find them fubar'd) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Flintoff Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Same thing happened here. Nathan Lowndes was approached without my consent and I had to cancel it. Also, I approached a few players who were going out of contract - Glen Johnson, Collins John, Ant Le Tallec - with Forest and they ALL signed without any news about it. Glen Johnson is on 48k - my budget is only 7k! Any reason why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 20, 2006 SI Staff Share Posted April 20, 2006 If anyone has these and hasn't gone on holiday at all (ie. they don't believe its due to the assistant managers intervention) or has any other concerns please feel free to email me your current save game (marc.vaughan@sigames.com). Thanks in advance for your help, Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Flintoff Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Marc I still have my current saved game there if you want it sent - if it's any use to you anyway! I've actually sold Glen Johnson on for £2m since he signed due to his outrageous wages doing me in but Collins John is still there on £18k pw if you need to see it!
