Football manager - You really aint the manager!

Hi all.

Just wanted to check if anyone else has noticed this weather it be a bug (i think it could be)

But well makes me think am i not the manager?? :S

Ok well i decided what the hell il do a save with man utd, after 1st season the board offer me a new contract
i go into view offer.
"they offer me 39k a week" im thinking fine i dont care as i cant do anything in game with my wages anyway

but heres the thing.... the game wont let me accept any less that 59k a week!!
surely i should decide what wages i want as im the MANAGER lol

Anyone else seen this?

p.s also something thats got me thinking lately is.... am i right to think this is odd how every single player asks so much over the odds in wages too?
id understand the top stars doing it, but i experimented by bidding for a youth in league 2 and yet he still wanted like 90k a week :S thats a huge wage hike from less than 1k he was on lol. dont make sense!

I've experienced something like that myself!

A while ago I came here to the forum to know if your wage as a manager would count on the total wage budget of your club, it doesn't! nevertheless, when my board offered me a new contract, i tried to ask for something below of what they were offering, and it wont let me I don't know why but it just wasn't possible!

Kinda makes you feel powerless doesn't it?!

haha i had the same in the beginning.
after my first season the chelsea-board offered me a 6mil/year contract. but in order to keep my finances balanced i decided to ask for 1€/year contract which they happily accepted ofc.
well in my last year of contract i couldn't accept a new contract because they offered me 3,9mil and the lowest i could go was 5,2mil or so.

Ahh but at some clubs in real life the chairman will make sure they have to final say in signings, contracts etc so in that sense maybe the game is even more realistic!

I think all of you are missing the point...

The point is he couldn't accept the contract offer as he had to go up to 59K a week. I've had the same problem, I want to sign a new contract but I'm offered lower than what I'm allowed to accept therefore I had to reject the contract offer.

Im afraid Hayes is correct, would seem you all have missed my point a little, although thanks for commenting...

But yeah the fact i cant accept the contract the board offer me is just simply wrong!

ME as a manager should be allowed to accept,decline or ask for less or more when it comes to the contract i will sign, not be forced to only accept higher than accepted.

If thats what realistium is then jeez i want in to imaginary land lol
