The transfer window isn't the only thing heating up this week. A bitter feud from Season 2 has exploded back into the public eye, turning the `#jobs` channel into a courtroom as Phesi (aka Soccer MonKey) launched a blistering campaign against veteran investor PantheonCommander.

The drama reignited today when Pantheon posted job openings for his clubs — including Rafsanjan, Skive, and Popeşti-Leordeni — only to be met with a 'DO NOT APPLY' warning from Phesi. The accusation? A calculated attempt to sabotage Dubai's title bid in the dying moments of last season.

The '15-Minute' Betrayal

According to the allegations, PantheonCommander — despite being a major influencer in Dubai — took control of an unmanaged rival team just 15 minutes before they played Dubai in a crucial title-decider. His goal? To set up 'ultra-defensive tactics' and steal points from the club he supposedly supported, handing the title to Abu Dhabi White (Al Jazira).

The record shows Abu Dhabi White won the Season 2 title with 110 points, edging out Dubai (108 points) by a razor-thin margin. That one match changed history.

'I Resigned Before Kick-Off'

PantheonCommander didn't deny the move but offered a bizarre defense in the Discord today: "I took over the club to make it harder for Dubai to win... I never tried to hide my intentions." However, he claims he had a change of heart (or got cold feet) and resigned before the match started, expecting the game to revert to AI control.

"Manipulation is when you try to lose on purpose," Pantheon argued. "You can't say it's manipulation when you try NOT to lose."

But the damage was done. Phesi claims a "random guy" took over the team immediately after Pantheon left, kept the defensive tactics active, and the rest is history. "If Pantheon hadn't taken control 15 minutes before... none of this would have happened," Phesi fired back, dubbing his rival "PantheonPokemon" in a heated exchange.

The Fallout

The FA has been dragged into the mess, with yours truly (Skez) having to issue a formal warning to Pantheon today to "keep it civil" and submit evidence to staff. While the "Ghost of Dubai" haunts his reputation, managers are now thinking twice before taking a job at his clubs.

MARKET WATCH: Theramoe's 'Collapse' Warning

While Pantheon fights for his reputation, Theramoe (manager of Bournemouth) is fighting the economy. In a furious statement today, the veteran manager threatened to stop buying packs, claiming the new payout model has made player-shareholders "vastly OP" compared to club managers.

"Some users have gone from 3.5k to 45k weekly payouts," Theramoe raged, warning that "ingame currency will collapse" if the balance isn't restored. With big names threatening to close their wallets, the pressure is on the devs to respond before a manager revolt turns into a market crash.
