OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

[jagilki]

Ian ... did I make a mistake and  I can not put penny in

[T-Bonizzle]

Yea really, I thought we could protect up to 6 players, and the others are left to their own devices. In my case with Hall retiring I'd release just one player into the expansion draft.

This is were people have to start paying more attention to the game a little. Cory and the whole Nest thing for one. McCrackin has mentioned a few times that the agreement to let Penny go is seperate to the expansion draft as he is returning to England. He even went as far as to say

"Given that there is a deal for Chris Penny already done and dusted to release his contract, that leaves Team Captain Ollie Stambola, reliable Tuck Finch and promising backup centre Nyako Umjumbo on the chopping block."

He then went onto mention who he thought would go out the three. Saying two would have to.

shit I am screw ...

Chris Penny isnt retiring. BD offered him a release on his contract to return to England. Horace Hall and actual retiring players are different as they are not receiving monies from the team to retire. Penny has a deal worked out with BD. As said it has been mentioned more than once by Chase McCrakin. If BD had done a deal for say Umjumbo, he would have automatically had to release Ollie and Finch.

Like I said, all this stuff is there in black and white to be read or hear. Chase and Dirk dont say stuff for the hell of it.

But I'm fine....right?

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

The positive for BD is Penny agreed the deal as a PR move. Therefore it wont effect BD's actual player cap, but will effect his PR cap, which he probably has more control over at the moment. 500k of next season goes to his agent, 500k to him.

Here was what was said:

Hi there GM Death. Chris and his family would really like to return to England. What I was working on as a proposal was releasing Chris from his contract with you next season. If you can say make a tax avoidable PR donation to DF Agency I can give Chris his 500k percentage, plus some for myself say 500k to make it happen and you will be free of his salary cap for the Season 8 season. Does that work for you?

[Black Death]

i am fine too...  sorry  about the confusion

I still have six protected .. for a second I thought I had to release tuck also ...

everything is cool

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

In terms that Horace has done the following:

1. Is not a player/coach which means you keep his players salary
2. Has agreed to retire from the organization
3. Has recommended he be left unprotected for the expansion draft
4. Will retire when the season ends
5. Will return to the Bells on an Assitant Coach contract to be agreed by the GM

The same thing is going on in Virginia with Steve Watchen. Although he hasnt got a coaching position agreed yet.

In the case of both Kentucky and Las Vegas who have agreed player coaches they wont have to dip into the PR salary to fund these guys as they are still active players.

I don't have to protect Hall, and I can release one other player and still have my six right?

[Justin]

How much are scouting reports?

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

Correct! Again...this is all theorized in general news were Chase spent a good 1000 plus words talking it through!

[GM Franchise]

I  think they come from the PR budget too.

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

How much are scouting reports?

1 million for an indepther. Yes I understand thats not going to be accurate in real terms. But this monopoly money so to speak.
