I'm managing Bayern and we don't really need any money. Recently Man U offered 45 million Euros for a 20.5 million Euro valued AM(RLC) and my Chairman accepted even though I specifically commanded that all transfer offers are auto-rejected and that I have stated on more than one occasion to other clubs that I have no intention of allowing this player to escape via transfers.

45m is ALOT of money.

Thats life I'm afraid!

It depends on your chairman I believe. Some clubs are more willing to do this than others.

But it does work both ways; I offered £6mill for a defender rated at £4mill and the board couldn't refuse the offer.

This has been widely reported too btw

Not when you have ~100+ million available for transfers . . . and when he's practically the center of your team (FYI he's a created Chinese Player) and without him, my midfield would probably crumble.

Liverpool Rule---Jehrome

So you have 140m+, you could buy practically any midfeilder in the game so does it matter

Of course it matters - it's BS.

I do note that this is after already transferring four good players (my sweeper, a right wing back, a striker and an ok backup goalie that was never going to get any playing time) for a combined 60 million. I was intent on rebuilding my team around my star midfielder and signing a star striker (my forwards have trouble scoring, so my mids usually get the most goals) and some good defenders (I had decent ones, but no one spectacular).

The whole matter is an issue of principle. I don't want Breckenbauer interfering, however great a player that he was.

Anyways . . . Thankfully, Man U was really stingy with their weekly wage offer.

Then leave and manage a club that has a more 'less hands on approach' or hope he sells up.

Whilest this has been mentioned a million times already, it is something way back in the annulls of time that was requested by many, and it is somehting that 'does' happen a lot more often in real life than you would care to imagine.
Look at Chelski as a prime example.

just over value everyone- put your CHN midfielder at 100 million. that should keep the wolves at bay

i have noticed that with my brighton team, becasue prior to a sell of my good premiership players of 4.8, where i had negotiated 10 mil for him already but board accepted 4.8, my biggest sell was around 1.2 mil....so this sell seemed huge to them, i have a feeling it is a bug where the board havent addressed the situation correctly
