I think one big problem is that last year CT had 2.5 Million for 20 riders. Now, most of the CT has more than that to spend on a handful of riders.

i've read the money problem and i thought how would be if the money spent on riders with clause won't go to the teams budget, just erase it from the game

You make some extremely valid points.
But 1. We want the transfer period to be very, very active - it's by far the most fun part of the game for everyone
2. Probably, they are - that would need some work on it next year.
But remember, that the clauses are not generally on the absolute best riders, so fees for them are going to be gigantic - it's mush better to do trades, so money no longer matters there. And you can get bargains like that. SportingNonsence traded Cancellara with me for some pretty poor riders, and Cancellara had an incredible season, whilst my riders didn't.
Yes, the system needs work, it always will, but it isn't that bad. Hopefully. If it is, then changes next year will be extremely serious. You also must remember that teams with large budgets have really hard goals, so they'll have a huge cut next year of they fail to achieve them
But its nice to see you care about the game, thanks for bringing up the point, we always like constructive comments like this
Any more when are we done yet comments are not appreciated 
Be patient. I'm as impatient as you, but the transfers can only begin when everyone is ready

Great Speech Crommy!! But you're right, with some good riders, you've got much more than just money, only a few good riders will be for sale... Just like irl.

The problem is that if many teams coming in with 1+ million in savings. We'll have some serious money devaluation going on in the next transfer season.
Wouldnt have happened if we supported the gold standard *sigh*

And then they invented player agents which takes some 20% in commision per deal. And that worked!

the 250k fine is for you Magenta!
SportingNonsense wrote:
Its tempting just to say any one who asks from this point forward will receive a 50k fine  , that might stop you repetitively asking, even when being told not to.

More like 250k so people might just take it serious
