Bid on a player
I bid on a player yesterday and it registered because I later upped it later on.

No bid was received by the manager/or club any ideas why?

Did u check whether the manager resigned?

No spoke to the manager and the bid never registered at all his end?

Is the player still in contract?

I?m not being very clear. The player was sold for 41 mil with 31 and 22 mill bids aswell. I also bid 41 but it just vanished?

Do you know for sure you did up your bid from 20m?
Did you see it in your players bidding for with the 40.9m next to it?
Because if this is a bug, how many other times could it have happened without people knowing?

How much was your first bid ? I'm wondering, if it was 20 then it could be that your updated bid just didn't register and you finished outside the top 3..However if your first bid was higher than 22 obviously it should have reached negotiation stage at least.

Other thought is, did you still have enough money when the transfer closed ? Currently, your club value is around 90M and a quick glance of your squad looks like a value of around 40+M..assuming no other deals / offers are active or in process you should have had just enough! Is that right ?

Does the seller know how many bids were made in total

It said there were 4 bids, and it also had a 10% sell on.

I definitely had the transfer fund covered and I was able to log the bid and get the confirmation that the bid had worked! Does anyone know if you get a message anyway if you fall short of funds?

I also dropped from 10 transfer rating to 7 on the day but the seller said the the minimum transfer rating was +3.

I?m very confused!

I do know you don?t get a message if you fall short of money, I had this with a player, bid the amount I bid, got no message whatsoever, and then saw the player went for less than I bid. So that could be what happened, it is like your bid disappeared....

Thanks for all the help lol. Still unresolved!

You could have had the transfer logged, and then your funds went too low the next day, and then you miss out and dont get notified? Thing is with a big club like yours, I assume you're not losing money each day unless you buy a player?

I'm curious about this minus 3 transfer rating hit.

It usually only happens when you withdraw from a transfer during negotiations but as you never got to negotiations with this player, how on earth did the hit happen?

You weren't bidding on another player at the same time were you?

The hit was due to bidding on a separate player the day before.

Right. And did you withdraw your bid on the same day you upped your bid on Andy's player?

Yeah probably it have done this before.

If I understand that correctly...

Did you rely on the monies released from that bid to cover the 45m+ needed for the uplifted bid on Andy's player?

Yeah I would have needed that money.

Just as well we don't do IAG loans.
