this is really beginning to annoy me the to ###### extent that I think you are all either blind...... or dim......

who is stopping players from joining other clans - ask any of the fellowship if they want to join you - be my guest

in fact - could all fellowship members please post here if you wish to leave and join another clan

Be honest merv your collecting an army of top players for me, and i can use them incase my players pick up injuries, well we both use them in that case

ssshhhh m8 - was trying to keep that a secret - they will be threatening you next

It's a statement of fact, not a threat: Which clans are accepted into the league is up to the league hosts. No more, no less.

And yes, one of the things that could ultimately mean is that league hosts could choose to reject you in the future for any reason they like, including not liking your clan name, your clan picture, the clan size, or their captain for that matter. In short, they don't need any reason at all, they can reject your clan from entry simply because they feel like.

It's a privilege to play in the league, not a human right Merv.


(And this is for all the players, not only the captain, so definitely belongs in public, not PMs)

so you are now saying they are vindictive - understood mate - thanks

If that happened people would make other leagues therfore making the idea of clan futile until done officially on funky, whats next clan runners going on strike because they want dinner money

no i think he means that he would like to make a rule to stop having these extra players so that they can join different clans that need players however they are unable to do so at the moment as you seem to have found a loophole

Online there is no loophole

if these players where on the list of players waiting for a clan and someone asked them to join

they would say NO.

reason : waiting to join the fellowship

simple...

players are not being held at gunpoint or against their will

waken up please

Online it is a loophole as you know fuully well the clan size under section 1 is 12 players max but you get around this rule and using the loophole have basically 15 players

I have 12 registered players that can play for the fellowship.

any other clan can ask the 3 non playing members to join their clan.

what is the problem here????

People are welcome to host any event they like here on funkypool.

No need for a rule for that - as Merv as correctly already pointed out, the "extra" players are technically considered free agents as far as the league is concerned and any other clan may approach them should they choose to. It's entirely up to those players whether or not they'd want to accept any offers from other clans of course.

yep you can go ahead and make your own clan league if you're so angry in the meantime i'm done with this unneeded arguments

Wrong address for that statement mate.

so why the issue mate????? - it seems to me that (and looking at the posts above) because I have thought outside the box and let players who wanted to be in the fellowship join I am being hunted and threatened about expulsion from the league.......

surely this isnt right

look honestly this i getting out of control im with fellowship and i can certify i will reject any approach made for me.

look if people are arguing there is too many players why dont the league make rules about letting clans loan certain players who arnt playing first team matches all the time
bit like football

i never have done and never will put the current league (and organizers) down in any way, shape or form.

I have always had lists in on time, worked my butt off to ensure matches are completed on time etc etc and without blowing my own trumpet, was quite successful doing it.

But because of a few posts / ideas, I am now being told that the fellowship will be excluded from the clan league if I dont get rid of 3 unregistered players.....

How is that fair - shame on you all!!!!

The issue is, as has been explained a number of times, that this hurts the player base overall.

Imagine if not only you did this, but a few other clans as well.... Forming up new clans would then quickly become 100% impossible - we don't want to end up there, nor do I think you really do either.


We will see how this works out through the up-coming season, but just be prepared already now that for future seasons, clans of too large size might be refused a spot in the league.

You are being told that this is a risk. It's not up to me, but you know very well what Steph thinks about all this, so yes I would certainly consider it a risk if I were you.


Anyways, I'm done with this, you have been given all the input you need. Just don't come crying 7 weeks from now if your clan is not on the list for season 8.

very adult!

Just to make it clear,
I am part of The Fellowship and all other clan offers will be refused.

Now no more stressing Merv
