 I was just involved in a bidding in which a 37/20 player was going for peanuts $26,000 (Silly owner didnt put a minimum bid low enough).
The problem is I bid 427,000 but the offer would keep rejecting because the player wanted a higher salary, I went from his actual salary of $1,400 to $2,500 and run out of time to bid.
My guess is that the winner of the bid offered $26,000 to buy it and $10,000 salary which is a smart proposition since he would play 3 seasons and have paid the same as I was offering. And he would have a really high release clause now.
It is a bad deal for the previous owner because he only got $26,000 out of a good player. ( I agree a bad play not to put a minimum offer and it would have prevented the high salary offer and low bid).

My suggestion to avoid these kind of deals which an experienced player can take advantage of, is that instead of saying the player requires a higher salary, it tells you the player currently requires a $15,000 salary. Then if you think it is still a good deal you just offer that and done with it. Rather than having 10 attempts trying to reach the salary offer that satisfies the player). 		21/06/2011 10:54

 Generally you would simply bump it to a larger number than usual (eventually you'll get into the habit of paying 20k for high 40's and 25k+ for 50's).


But I like this idea. No need to guess who wants how much exactly. There's no benefit in needing to hold onto the salary button for so long. 		21/06/2011 19:06
