This game is awesome...and unbelievably frustrating.
So I'm having fun and doing pretty well in my first season at Coventry City. We're sitting 7th in the Championship with about a quarter left in the season. Forward Michael Mifsud has been unstoppable this season. He has 23 goals, 12 assists and eight MoMs for a rating of 7.50 in 28 league games for us.
One day I get an e-mail that Ipswich is offering up a pretty good DM for free. They signed him for about $950,000 at the beginning of the year but buried him on the reserves and now he's angry and wants out. I say hey, sure, why not.
The next day I get an e-mail that our chairman accepted a bid from Ipswich for Mifsud, our star striker, for $5.25 mil (his listed value). Two days later, Mifsud agrees to terms and signs with Ipswich. Just like that! I didn't have a say or anything and we lose our best player in the middle of the season. It's really frustrating but I have to smile because this game is so awesome.
