Neverending bids

I have been searching for new staff and then I found some really good ones but the bids on them seem to be neverending.

Specifically:
http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-staff/26427
or
http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-staff/offer/59775

and the teams have not been active for at least 6 months+...

I've come across a couple of these myself

Yes, that issue is a pain in the ass. There are plenty in those conditions.
Some are "waiting to be confirmed somewhere" almost for 6 months... which means the managers never returned for months now, and the staff is still hanging and unavailable for us all !!!

@ Jack Basford : Please eliminate that issue so all can respect the supposed 12 hour answer.
it shouldn't be that hard ...

I am unable to offer either of them contracts. They are both still "reserved" by the inactive teams. (Team SE7EN and Mac Harry Racing)

Thanks! :)

Please free that designer:

from his 2 year negotiations...

I'm not sure what happened. When my staff negotiations exceeded 12 hours in my reserve team, the staff got released.
