i quit on martin o'neil and bid 5 million on Walter Smith

[stoehrst]

ok, I remove my bid for AC Milan and instead bid 200 million for Inter Milan. I also remove my bid for Carlo and instead bid 12 million for Frank Rijkaard

Remove my 100 million bid for Valencia and I put in a 200 million bid for AC Milan. The manager bid for Rangnick stands.

[swagat sinha]

17 clubs currently have owners, only 3 remain to be picked up. Who shall own whom? Intriguing.

15 managers have been picked up. 5 clubs are still managerless. Will greats like SAF and Lippi get no takers? Wait and watch, I say.

@ben: considering you've not had to enter a bidding war for Arsenal, you should find this entertaining. Ask Dal, who got thrown out of Barca by fergysafc.

[gavrenwick]

My bids going with some ease. Anatoliy and America. <3

[swagat sinha]

Indeed gav. Well-thought out strategy or lucky break, but you and Ben have been sitting pretty easy on your bids

[gavrenwick]

Indeed gav. Well-thought out strategy or lucky break, but you and Ben have been sitting pretty easy on your bids

The club one was a brave bid though

When does the bidding end?

[bergtaur]

218 million for Inter

[swagat sinha]

Everyone needs to have a club and manager. Once the blanks are filled, I'll ask you all once and close the bidding.

bergtaur, bid updated.

[bergtaur]

Perfect, If you go to 220 you can have them and I'll move onto Roma

[PluckaDuck]

Swagf, earlier on the page, post #134, I changed my bid, you seem to have missed it!

[swagat sinha]

You wrote I might, so I thought you were contemplating. I'll change it

[PluckaDuck]

Ah, sorry Swag!

[jayatsena]

I'll drop my bid on Mourinho, please change my bid for Unai Emery, 5 M

[swagat sinha]

Done

[Elrithral]

Are we still waiting for people to get involved, or are we waiting for people to lose out and bid for the remaining clubs?

[swagat sinha]

Only SAxonaitor and dovEs haven't come in yet. They both weren't online the entire day yesterday. I've sent them PM's. Though if they don't come online, how do they see the PM's :|

Other than that, 2 people (TPF and Celtic) are currently without clubs due to lower bids.

[Celtic_1967]

I'll have Valencia for 100 million, I believe it's still available

[swagat sinha]

indeed it is. Updated.

[acidmonkey]

can i bid £210m for Real Madrid? and £10m for Del Bosque?

[TerrierBhoy7]

Have I missed the thread which says how this will actually work? After we have our team/ manager/ players how do we win?

[Terk]

I think swagat then plugs all the relevant changes into the editor and he's set up a league system which the teams will play in.

[TerrierBhoy7]

Ah cool. Does Swag have any involvement or does he like holiday a season then the winner is derived from that?

[swagat sinha]

No involvement from me. I'm just the fly on the wall, reporting back to you

[TerrierBhoy7]

Excellent, can't wait for it to start. Hurry up and pick your team and manager people

[SCIAG]

£25m for Hiddink.

[JonnyGabriel]

£28m on Hiddink.

[The-Perfect-Fm'er!]

Bergatuar - £220 Million for Inter then.

[SCIAG]

£30m for Hiddink.

[JonnyGabriel]

Drop bid for Hiddink.

£20m for Capello.

[bergtaur]

Bergatuar - £220 Million for Inter then.

Fair enough, 208 million for Roma

[SCIAG]

I also drop the Hiddink bid

£20m for Lippi.

[JonnyGabriel]

So what's the rule with that then?

Does Hiddink's price drop back to £20m or does anybody have to start again at £30m? Because technically there's nobody bid £30m now.

[swagat sinha]

Fellas, as dovEs has shown no activity for the past 2 days, and most of the activity of part 1 is done; I'm calling in the first reserve: Cougar 2010

[SCIAG]

So what's the rule with that then?

Does Hiddink's price drop back to £20m or does anybody have to start again at £30m? Because technically there's nobody bid £30m now.

Unless you want your bid to stand.

I'm just saving myself £10m, and getting a better manager!

[swagat sinha]

So what's the rule with that then?

Does Hiddink's price drop back to £20m or does anybody have to start again at £30m? Because technically there's nobody bid £30m now.

You bid 28 for Hiddink last. You can't bid less than that. Someone new can bid lesser, but your minimum bid's got to be the one you last posted since you've already bid that much for him

EDIT: And SCIAG, stop entering the grey area

[Cougar2010]

Fellas, as dovEs has shown no activity for the past 2 days, and most of the activity of part 1 is done; I'm calling in the first reserve: Cougar 2010

Probably only fair if I take the scraps so £200m for Flamengo & £20m for Alex Ferguson.

[bergtaur]

Swagat, I bid 208 million for Roma back in post 185

[swagat sinha]

Swagat, I bid 208 million for Roma back in post 185

Thanks bergtaur, seemed to have missed the amount in the rush hour . Updated

[JonnyGabriel]

I dropped my bid for Hiddink when SCIAG lodged the £30m bid and replaced it with £20m for Capello.

[swagat sinha]

I dropped my bid for Hiddink and replaced it with £20m for Capello.

Done. I still had your Hiddink bid up.

One club left, 61 managers remain. Final bend time for the first part. The players are already warming up to be paraded before you

[JonnyGabriel]

Done. I still had your Hiddink bid up.

That's where the confusion arose from.

I bid £28m and was outbid by SCIAG at £30m, I dropped mine and then he dropped his. If somebody now wanted Hiddink then where would the bidding start because technically, nobody is bidding for him.

[acidmonkey]

can i bid £210m for Real Madrid? and £10m for Del Bosque?

am i missing summit?

[swagat sinha]

If it was anyone apart from you or SCIAG, it would start at 20. If you wanted to bid for him, you would need to bid 28. If SCIAG wanted to bid for him, he would need to bid 30.
