Christiano Ronaldo has been bought by Otto Fisch for 2.7m, unopposed.
After a bidding war on email, Egon has successfully purchased Kevin Phillips for 5.8m.

POINT OF ODER:
I don't mean to sound bitchy in any way, and I am not appealing the transfer, but the impression I got from the earlier thread was that Ronaldo was being added to the available players list, not that a bid had been received. This is whjy I did not follow up my initial inquiry about him. I am not objecting to Otto's acquisition of the player, but I am asking that such announcememnts be more clear in future.
Inbcidentally, who did Otto release?

I thought I made that reasonably clear by putting it on the TRANSFER - Please Read thread.
Otto released old baldy himself, Claus Jensen.

however, the use of the term "added to list" made it sound like he'd been added to a player list. All I ask is for less ambiguous terms in future. i admit my own foolishness is mainly to blame, but I was just skim reading postings- I could only use the internet for aminute at a time at that point due to the blaster worm virus, and was not paying utter attention to what threads I was on.

Well, in that case, it's easiest just to blame you.

oh, certainly.
However, I have no doubt I'm not the only pillock in this competition, so perhaps in the interests of clarity, you could use slightly less ambiguous terms in future?

Please, what with me also being a pillock.

This is a laugh, isn't it, football managers asking for things in plain English?
OK - joking aside, I promise that I will try. Meanwhile, you never know, Otto might be tempted by a cash offer for Ronaldo.

Crisps are not negotiable currency as far as I'm concerned.
