There is a feature to disable "buying from unmanaged clubs"
No way! because then you wouldn't be able to buy from any clubs other than ones that are managed. So if new players get added you won't be able to buy them, then by the time you can, everyone will be after them. Stupid idea. The only way to stop unmanaged clubs being raided is honourable agreements between everyone OR
@Damien takes over until a new manager is available.
OR! It's just a fact of the game and tough shit. When I joined Derby the club had just spend over £30m cash on Darren feckin Bent, Tom Ince and some other idiots I didn't want and were WAY over the price. AI clubs will always buy player that play for them in real life, you going to stop that too?
I don't understand why other players get precious about someone else's club getting raided? They didn't build the club and neither did the new owner. The transfer fee's are sorted more now so AI won't or can't overpay as much as they used to. So the club/player value isn't diminished as much as it used to be, or wouldn't be as much as mine was when I took over. Also it gives us lower league clubs chance to buy players that wouldn't have been available to us previously, and put's player back in to circulation. I've never bought from a recently unmanaged club before, but I can see many players I would like to buy if clubs became unmanaged.BUT! if everyone us so upset about the idea, then it's simple, as I said, Damien or someone just signs in to that club and takes it over until a new manager is found. Pretty simple really.
I honestly don't see where and why all this talk has started? Nothing suggested so far really makes any sense or is fair, and it certainly hasn't been thought out properly, or not from the point of a lower league club. The cash only transfer makes sense, I don't agree with
@Varun above because as we discussed, most people don't bother with player swap anymore as you lose money in those deals, but even so, cash only isn't the worst idea and if everyone knew, they would always try to have cash ready. If a player is due to come up for sale, people will sell in advance and have the cash ready.
Transfer windows are stupid and wouldn't benefit anyone really. Certainly not smaller clubs who would spot a new player added, and could have bought him uncontested only for the window to prevent them, they wait, the window opens and everyone is in for the player.
I understand the top teams getting frustrated, but If you don't like it, give your team up and start again from a lower league. From my point of view, that's the point of the game, really I should have started at the bottom club and worked my way up, but I've invested heavily in Derby now and will stick with them because I love my squad and what I have done with the club.
Yes this game has faults, and I agree we should always look to improve it, but from what I have seen suggested at the moment, nothing (aside from cash only deals) makes any sense or would work or be fair, especially to lower league teams. It's hard enough for us guys down here as it is, without making it worse. THAT would only cause more players to leave, and certainly wouldn't attract many new players either. I love this game, despite its faults, but it is hard and it is definitely biased towards bigger teams with more money, but I've accepted that and get on with it, it would be nice to even that out, but the last thing I think the game needs is anymore rules that make that divide bigger.
Sorry for the long post, just pointing a few things out, and giving my opinions.
