Additional Details
I am the best manager in my gameworld currently by a mile, have been on the game ages and love it. However i am starting to get very bored of seeing perfectly good deals reversed, i bought peter cech about a week odd ago for 10mil riquelme and van der saar. a deal both parties seemed happy with, now why on earth have smfa decided to reverse this, i signed zanetti yesterday, but today theyve decided to accept a deal from someone else and hes gone to them, what on earth are they playing at!
Having experienced similar with my team, I have found that they get reversed when someone complains or if you are dealing with new managers in the game world. It could also be cos you log on regular and this may coincide with the selling club logging on, if this is the case then the "complainer" will state that you are the same person, even thou you are not. It seems that there are many a childish person on the game who dont have better things to do other than complain (yes I have nothing better to do as I am off work ;-)). If there is anyone else who can shed some light please feel free.

SMFA have a randoniser for reversing deals when they get reported i think that randomly every 3rd or 4th deal gets reversed so that it looks like they are doing their job and monitoring deals but they dont
many times deals get reversed then exact same deal goes through gets reported but doesnt get reversed so this explains that it is pure random
i 100% back people reporting suspicious deals but mainly deals are reported by people who dont like a manager or who want to scupper a deal so they can get the player
when reporting a deal the manager should be seen and their report visible for all if they have nothing to hide

Deal reversals have become common place in new games and have almost made it not worth getting a big club. Just taken charge of Chelsea. Wanted sum1 of better quality for down the left. Agreed deal for Adriano from Barca of 15mil & Oliveira Wallace. The deal Barca wanted and I was happy to oblige. Following the deal being completed I decided that meant I no longer needed Malouda so sold him. Adriano deal then reversed and blocked. Leaving me with neither player. Would love sum1 from SM to actually have the courtesy to explain to me why a perfectly reasonable deal(if it wasn't then y do we have chairman limitations?) was reversed?!?! I'm an experienced manager who like many others is becoming increasingly disillusioned with this game and how difficult it has become to do a transfer deal with a big club in a new game( a club that won't have been cheap). Will not be paying for a club again that's for sure n doubtful I'll renew my Gold Membership when it expires. I'd predict I'm not the only 1 thinking like this.

Having exactly the same problem although I am not the best manager. Twice in 1 week 2 perfectly reasonable deals have been reversed.
I was considering renewing a paid membership to SM but with cr@p like this going on I won't bother.
Am looking for a new game although, shame because on the whole SM is quite good.

Answered by J Gray - 12 years ago
To not have an appeals system in place with that system is a joke. The game seems to think it's perfectly acceptable to reverse a legit transfer and then not give you a chance to explain or even give the reasoning behind the decision.
Even though the admin copy and paste the same script it still doesn't answer any of the questions against the system reversing transfers under legitimate reasons does it? It is just what the game believes is fair but this goes against any kind of realism and removes freedom from the game unnecessarily. When you pay for a game you expect to have your opinions heard.

I have just had a player transfer reversed and both players were equal skill similar age. Whats going on. I was desperate for centre back and swopped one of my many midfield players for this centre back. The deal went through and now reversed. I feel like packing in this team now. I would love an answer to why this deal was reversed. Are you listening SMFA GIVE ME A REASON PLEASE.
Answered by David Evans - 12 years ago
I don't get this at all I've been playin this game for a long time now and had no problems best game by a mile but I put players on transfer list and another team came in and offered what I wanted for one of my players his value was 5.2 million and I wanted 6 million which I received from another club and SMFA blocked the deal with no explanation why !!! Very confusing and I am not a cheat I love playing this game I just want to know why this deal was blocked :-(

It only takes one person, with a grudge, or annoyed because you beat them, to make a complaint, and your deals are reversed / blocked.
And the worst thing ? You have no right of appeal. All you can do, is post in this section, and then get answers similar to the ones that you have already had, giving the usual stereotypical rhetoric :(
Answered by Chris Storer - 13 years ago
The SMFA can and will reverse a transfer at any time if they deem it to be unusual and/or dubious. However, this does not mean that the SMFA have accused you of cheating, as they have only reversed it to ensure the Game World remains fair.
Answered by Francesco Totti - 14 years ago
Often deals get reversed because a manager leaves a club after selling his best players. These sort of deals are against the rules.
This is not suggesting that the manager who received the players is cheating. However, the manager who left, after selling, them was. Therefore, the deal is illegal and should be reversed.
SM do not reverse deals that are perfectly fine. They have more information about all deals/managers than anyone else so they are the best equipped to decide this.
