There was still 28 mins left, why does Gazza who has spent years cheating the games transfer market get away with this stuff?

And Benfica, Sao and Marseille lose out through no fault of their own. I think, in the spirit of fairness, a re-start is the best option here.

Cheers Malky 👍
Correct decision, although I would have accepted whatever decision was made by the games ruling bodies.

The log shows the following: 03-07-2017 09:42 - Rangers FC bid 13.1 M for Keeper05 35 sen 32 4 7 7 11 500 500 500 500 . 04-07-2017 09:14 - Rangers FC bid 13.1 M for Keeper05 35 sen 32 4 7 7 11 500 500 500 500 . 04-07-2017 10:41 - Benfica bid 13.2 M for Keeper05 35 sen 32 4 7 7 11 500 500 500 500 .
So whether or not Rangers actually put in that second bid, it was for the same amount, so it's not a new bid. Under the rules of EFL, if a bid stands for 24 hrs, the auction is over. Which is what has happened.
I can't explain how the duplicate bid happened; the minimum bid should always be forced 0.1M higher than the current bid. So yes, it does mean that the website displayed some misleading information. But that doesn't change the rules of the game.
Incidentally, what would Rangers' motivation be for deliberately putting in the second bid of 13.1M?

I obviously wanted the player, only motivation to rebid would be to prolong the auction if I didn't want him, which I obviously did.
Bidding the same amount shouldn't be an option ,I also agree on this, not sure if you can even outbid yourself if you wanted to.
If these are the rules then fine, puts this to bed in my eyes.
Cheers Developer.

Rules are rules! I wouldn't mind that 'bug' happening to me on a crucial auction though!

Obviously Malky has the say on interpreting the rules. I just wanted to give my point of view given that I have access to the log which records all actions (although unfortunately doesn't record IP address etc).
The only thing I can think might have happened is that Gazza refreshed the page with the bid command still sitting there, and it re-sent the command. Or maybe next time he visited the website his browser somehow sent the command again. Unfortunately the site is built in a pretty basic way, and there are not many protections against these little things that can go wrong. Which is why I don't do this for a living.

I revisited the page via the page filter top right wee rectangle box thing in browser of iPhone, must have refreshed the bid.
Was checking to see if I won.
Must be that.

Fair enough lads. This is a quality game by the way, my issue was only that the auction process be Fair, that was all. Well, apart from a possible name suggestion for the goalie -

How do rangers win? Their bid didn't stand for 24 hours, a new bid was put in to put managers off.
Next season I'll bid on a player, then after 12 hours bid the same so people think they don't need to rush, then win after a further 12?
Come on Gazza how many times can you fiddle the system and get away with it?

Scott, that's a pretty elaborate plan. If you're half an hour away from winning an auction you want, why would you keep it open for another 23.5 hours? Or, if you really don't want the player, why would you start a thread saying that you want the player?
I assume you're just joking now.

Not elaborate.
You big again yourself to extend the time limit so that when bidding managers look they see it has another 24 hours to run.
Eliminates any managers making last minute bids.
Then once 24 hours has passed, you claim you won the player.
I'm quite gutted Gazza found this niche way to cheat and not me!
