Smurf Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just sacked one of my midfielders mid-game. Turns in awful performances, I was stuck so gave him a chance. Terrible. 53rd minute - sacked. Anyone else done this? I just don't want to feel like a loon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

telV7 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Haha, did you pass the hat around for his cab fare I do recall of it happening in real life sacked at half time, though I just cannot remember the managers name, the player was at the time the managers best friend and also caption if I remember rightly.

Smurf Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'm sure the players wanted to smack him with a baseball bat wrapped in barb wire too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert the Spud Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Did that to Senderos at H/T actually. He moaned all season about not being a first teamer. I give him a game, he was GASH. So I bring the lad into the office and calmly tell what a gash player he is. He tries to blame it on the other lads because they 'didn't let me play my natural game'. Typical, bloody typical of the Swiss international I thought. So another game comes along and old Brede Hangeland looks like he could do with a rest. I bring young Philip in again. He was GASH. Absolute GASH. I bring him off at H/T, but not before telling him what I thought of his performance. Let's just say he was disheartened. Stunned by his complete absence of manly fortitude, I put him on the transfer list. I couldn't fine him until after the match though. That bald muppet, does my head in. He and Steve Sidwell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philly_flyer10 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ive done it and terminated a loan mid game too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussex Hammer Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Not quite mid game but I signed Balotelli on a free. Days later my idiot of an Assistant said that Balotelli had the wrong squad status so without thinking I agreed. Balotelli then wants a chat doesn't he and it all got a bit ugly so I just thought to hell with this and put him up for transfer without even playing him. Fortunately a Club in Italy took him on loan and will pay "hopefully" 5 million for him at the end of the season so it wouldn't be a bad deal but I just lost it with the turkey and threw him out!!

marty78 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Brilliant, going to try this today. I have tranfer listed a whole matchday sqaud though. They weren't impressed but I was inspired by Micky Adams at Port Vale. I then left a few days later for another club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityAndColour Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 It is actually quite satisfying releasing/transfer listing players while in a poor run. Have done it many times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Does this affect the other players at all though? Morale wise? Does the game recognise this happened mid-match? Or is it just after the game it happens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavelberry Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've done it. Release on a free and then clicking on it while they're ballsing up yet another chance. Very cathartic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
