Does the Beta patch make chairman less interfering when it comes to selling players?

This ruined my last game its all I want to know before I start another game.

You dont need the beta patch to stop (or reduce) the chairman's interference. Just alter his stats in the editor and start a new game.

Simple answer: I don't know.

Mate, do what I'm doing and wait for the final patch to be released. There's isn't any point in starting a new career only for their to be a patch released on Friday (estimation)

My Chairman sold Obafemi Martins for £25mil in January (first season) even tho he was top scorer in the league with 19 in 20. Good job I have Palacio who has scored 14 in 8. Not long before he goes tho. It P***es me off that they sell your best players then wonder why your not achieving what they want.

It's hard to know when to call this a bug I suppose. For instance, if a team is struggling a bit financially then the board might sell your top players. They'd still blame you for a poor performance because they'd argue that you weren't successful enough and didn't generate suitable revenue. If you want a real example, Luton last season sold their top players - Carlos Edwards, Rowan Vine etc. Reportedly over Mike Newell's head, he was still blamed for the poor performance and sacked.

I suppose Newcastle is a dodgy one, Mike Ashley is hardly going to rush to sell players as he has a lot of money himself. However, clubs like Spurs (who people have complained about) might well sell players for good money as they are a PLC and have to represent shareholders first and foremost. Perhaps the problem is more in valuation of certain players. Eg, Defoe valued at 5-6m in my games and the board will sell him for 10-12, given how much Bent cost Spurs this is an unlikely valuation even if he isn't starting at the moment.

I gave up with Man Utd, they sold Pique at like the last second of the transfer window for a stupid fee of 8m, leaving me with Hargreaves and some useless reserves as DM, I had to modify me entire tactics to cope with it, taking some adapting and time to set in but they and the fans started moaning because i was 8th, 6 points off top after 12 games, pathetic seeing as i was expected to "challenge" and win within 2 years which i think i was well on course to do. Top of CL group and won all my league cup games as well. Started a new save game to manage England now

I was a bit worried about this in the demo. Playing as Leicester the chairman accepted a bid of £1.3m for Kisnorbo.

When the game came out I was able to reject bids of more than that. Not had a problem since but maybe that's to do with all my players being w@nk rather than the patch.

I have found that if my chairman accepts an offer for a player I don’t want to loose I go in and offer the player a big wages hike on a new contract sometimes they stay and reject the contract from the other club

ugh... Niclos Milán(sp?) didn't get to come to my club on FM07 because of that.. had all my offers accepted but the club kept upping his contract.. So furstrating. He ended up with almost 100k a week xD rich little kid now, still didn't get him though...
