One guy said he was proud of doing this, and he was stripped to the bone as cleanly as by a shoal of piranha. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm very sorry I don't spend my entire life in this forum, fella!
Now I've searched these forums for post like this (dumping wages) and I didn't find anything.
I don't know why I waste my time because the answer I get is "logged before or recently covered" and my post gets locked?
So would you please give me either a reference to which post you are talking about or tell me what the outcome was?
Can you never offer a worse contract than the one their have got (Not in the LLM guidelines)

I think that the piranha reference was quite explicit as to the outcome

This thread was a really good idea by the way :thup:

In the spirit of detente and various "Festive" references I'll ignore the petulance, the personal thread and the fact you felt you couldn't e-mail me if you felt aggrieved....

There's no "outcome" to the other thread.

A guy decided he could sign a player at a dangerously high (financially) wage and spend his time renegotiating him down to a pittance.

Now...there's an adage in LLM "If you have to ask if you're cheating, then you very probably are". Your original thread fits very well into this category.

When you've had a player for several seasons and he's willing to take a wage cut...because he's an older player...because his squad status has fallen...then that's fine.

Signing a player at an unreasonably high wage and renegotiating constantly 'til you have him down to an "acceptable" level is patently against the Spirit and Ethics of LLM.

That doesn't need another thread or an explanation...that's commonsense.

Keep it realistic, and "If you have to ask..."

Keeps you in good stead.

Actually, in the strict sense of things, you can do what you want one you have the player.. but common sense says, if you signed him at that wage, it's your own fault for doing so and name one RL player that would accept that sort of treatment from their employers???
