Nature or Nurture (or how I tried to keep Maxim)
I think I've posted on here before about my rage issues with shitty bastard players who deserves to die. Harsh? No.
TL;DR - If someone gets: homesick, thinks you should be topping the table, wants to move to a bigger club etc? I WILL put them on intensive training out of position, I WILL take control of the reserves that I've dumped them in, I WILL give them a cunt nickname, and I WILL have them man mark the opposition keeper (and on hard tackling) until they get injured for as long as I have them contracted. Short version? don't piss me off, I pay your fucking wages.
Anyway, I don't know if I've mellowed in my old age or am just loving this champ manager renaissance just too much but I'm going to actually try and keep a player! Is it a coincidence that the player is Maxim? LOL probably not but TBF I've binned off Aghahowa to Samba over the years for crossing me.
I read back in the day that the 'give leave of absence' isn't that effective so I've bought a couple of other Belarus chaff choppers to try and see if, for the first time EVER, I can convince a homesick player ..... not to be homesick LOL Watch this space.
