I think this is a tad unfair in that this should have been announced before the auction so that people would have been made aware that they shouldn't be spending all of their budget on players alone. It's very noticeable that those who have been involved in this league previously have made sure that they had money left over, while the new franchise owners have not.

Guess its a learning experience mate, this is why there should be a dedicated thread with guidelines and rules which govern this league. Leaves it open to corrupt practices.

I'll note that I didn't know when bidding that there would be a shop - I just got more players for reserve than I expected and got to 14 players earlier than I had planned. Missed out on a few people I wanted and had been saving for.

Anyway:

Sabit Alam - Intensive Training, Player Pool B-G to A - 14,000
Lameck Onyango - Intensive Training, Star Pool A to B - 20,000
Saroj Padhy - Intensive Training, Player Pool B-G to A - 14,000
Matt Whitehorn - Intensive Training, Player Pool A to Star Pool A - 18,000
Abhas Gupta - Basic Training, Player Pools B-G - 5,000
Franklin Jacob - Basic Training, Player Pools B-G - 5,000

I can vouch for the fact that the first mention of doing this was after the final auction round, so no one had any information that may have advantaged them

That's fair enough but things like this should be planned and announced at the start, it's not like it's the first time this event has been held. If you say that the budget is X amount, then it can only expect that people are going to spend pretty much all of it unless they know in advance that they should hold some back for other expenditures.

Anyway it doesn't affect me as I'm only a player but if I had been an owner I would be pretty miffed. I'm sure some players wouldn't have gone for the prices they did.

Something to consider for the future I guess.

I really dislike the whole shop thing, always have done irrespective of when it was announced or anything. I also had no idea what the shop even was until about two days ago.

If you're not happy about the shop - for whatever reason - fine. I get that. But if you keep throwing "corruption" at the people running the league, then they're not going to want to keep running it, are they?

I agree with Author.. Even though the left over money in the teams account owned by Staff's raise the eyebrows of few, I think we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. They are working hard to organize such a big league and we have to respect it, so lets all not throw allegations on them and act like Lodha panel. Lets all move on with the upgrade... :cheers
