Lack of content, flaming (of the French or anyone) and useless posts will be punished. Please keep it from being too inflammatory and keep discussion on-topic. -semioldguy (p.103)

Update: Please read http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=267506#1 and continue the discussion there.

Major mindgames. Unprofessional by both teams imo.

This still doesn't change that Stephano is a ridiculous player. I hope he continues improving regardless of what team he goes to.

What? It's Millenium that goes against contracts, they're the bad guys. It's clearly Millenium that has pressured Stephano to stay with them even though he wants to join Complexity. Players have to honor their contracts.

What's slimey about what Complexity did?

They talked to a player who then signed a contract. What's objectionable about that?

Stephano is 18. If he's old enough to vote he's old enough to know what he's doing. People need to stop seeing him as this 14 year old still. He regretted leaving M and wants to run back. He shouldn't have signed a contract if he was under any doubts.

Sounds like Stephano is very impulsive. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. Seems like we can't get away from drama. Soon after all the puma, TSL, and NASL/S2Con drama ends we are on this now

Problem is Stephano is 18. However Before we all jump on conclusions like "OMG Mill is a shady backhand dealer" or "CoL are a Group of slimy Business men" we should wait for more info to be released or Atleast a Statement From stephano him self, since i would be quite intreasted to hear what he has to say about this,

quoted from complexity statement:
By no means do we want a player who does not want to be part of our organization but we can simply not allow players and organizations to completely disrespect the legal contractual process that ensures stability in our evolving sport.

i think this is well put. i cant see complexity still wanting stephano after this incident, but i think its right of them to want some sort of transfer fee or something. Otherwise, it just spits at the contracts pros sign.

The only logical thing is to have him play for both teams with a specially designed half 'n half-jersey as MillenColin-Stephano.
They already named a band after him, it's in the prophets.

dunno who is acting more dumb here, millenium for signing a contracted player or coL for talking about legal options 5 mins after they heard about that and talking in forums. you should both shut up, sleep one night and just talk to each other and maybe don't make such an drama on the back of an 18 year old...


coL claims they have been talking to stephano about this for 3-4 weeks now. Not 5 minutes so dont be so hard on them.

LOL Awesome! I Agree..



The Linked Statement Says it all

=================================
"Within the last hour Team Millennium announced that Stephano was remaining with their organization despite the fact he executed a legally binding contract with compLexity. We are extremely disappointed by this turn of events and are seeking more information while we evaluate our legal options with French counsel. By no means do we want a player who does not want to be part of our organization but we can simply not allow players and organizations to completely disrespect the legal contractual process that ensures stability in our evolving sport. "

Yeah man like a said awhile ago. Patriots threatened to move to Connecticut but 30 minutes before the signing was final they bailed out because all they wanted was a shiny new stadium.

It's funny cause I can't even tell if he approves or disapproves of the move.

He's young and it's hard to know what's best for yourself. It's really weird how much of this stuff goes on but I think it's often the player's fault but not with intentions of screwing everything up. It's hard to blame the teams either since they are always excited to have a new star and of course they want to announce it before everyone already knows since information travels pretty fast on the internets.

IMO Stephano was approached by Complexity, offered more money to play for their team, did not say to Millenium management that I'm going to this team unless you match their offer because he's young and it's hard to say that yourself (it takes a lot of balls for that kind of thing and in rare occasions it could really blow up in your face), then signed a contract only to have Millenium hear of his plans too late and match the offer of Complexity. I think there was a big gap in communication between the teams and the player that should not have happened but did happen. I only wish the best for Stephano with whatever team he plays for.
