Seagulls Forever - I think I've been very clear in my 2 posts on the subject above. I haven't seen the problem personally in the games I have been playing. If others are, we need examples to have a look at, in the form of saved games.
I don't see where that is me brushing anything off. How can we possibly fix an issue we haven't seen?
Insulting me, and making wild sweeping statements is also uncalled for.

Point to the insults please. I don't see any. I am just fed up that you keep treating people like mushrooms. </BLOCKQUOTE>
How in the world was what you were saying not insulting? Lol are you just bad at english or rude without knowing it? Or the other way around? I'll point to them for you if you want:
"You are losing peoples respect. Don't be surprised if FM09 bombs." - that was a sweeping statement AND an insulting one. First you're saying he isn't worthy of respect, putting a "worthless" token on him, then you insult his job, FM09 is the work of SI as well as being a game. They try to make it as best as they can and then you brush all that effort aside by condemning the game that hasn't even come out yet.
"Miles how long can you keep brushing off problems and pretending they do not exist?" - sweeping statement AND insulting (you're good at these) Insulting his judgment and putting a label on him when he has in fact been acknowledging problems and fixing them before.
"I'm not sure what else you can call it? Given his comments about many problems not being real, this being the best version ever, it's hilarious really. I miss Darth Vaughan. He was so much better at forum prowling than Miles. At least he actually knew something!" - De-valuing his opinion by receiving it as a joke. then insinuating that he doesn't know anything. Which is the same as calling him stupid.
and lastly
"Point to the insults please. I don't see any. I am just fed up that you keep treating people like mushrooms." - I don't know if this is you being stupid or smart. He thought they were insults because obviously he feels insulted by those insults. The lack of empathy here is another insult and pretending that those insults didn't exist insinuate that you believe that he is a pansy. And pansies suck. How do people treat mushrooms? I eat mine, I don't know what you do to yours. I could grow them I guess. Or feed them? Water them? Cook them? Pick them? I guess I could ignore them but then again I could just as easily ignore other things like worms or wombats, if I chose to. I could write them songs? Write songs about them?
English is a delicate language where a tone of voice can warp your words into something with a completely different meaning. Especially bluntness and insensitivity can be considered rude. If you meant to be mean, don't do it again. If you didn't know, well know you do. And you're welcome by the way. No need to thank me for my English-ritey-ness.
Back onto topic I've also had expectations to reach a certain stage or something in a cup but losing 1 or 2 rounds before the actual expectations have never caused the board to fire me as long as I did well in other aspects They were happy. Especially keeping the finance in the green they really love that. And signing bad players is horrible for the confidence, don't ever sign a player for the sake of it and not too many youth developmental players. Unless you can balance it out with good signings.
