Description of issue
I am in year 3 of a save with Lommel SK in Belgium who run a "Negative transfer budget business model' IMAGE ATTACHED
I was initially frustrated this season when my transfer budget given by the board was £-1.7m. I tried to increase my revenue retention % which was successful and hence sold my star player for £26m. This only cut 700k off of the debt and also changed my retention % from 15 down to 0. I was now stuck in the negative for the season. With half a squad unable to compete for the rest of the season. This is hilariously unrealistic as no board would ever set a manager up for failure like this. Even unattached contract players were unobtainable due to agent/signing fees. Regardless I took this as my own sort of challenge to sell further hoping that the game would catch up and realize how stupid they were being, especially given negative budget could literally be achieved by starting on £0 and reducing the retention %
No bother I tried selling another player for roughly £8m including add ons. On the last page when I was asked to confirm the transfer it said that "The board have agreed that £7.25M will be added to the transfer budget on completion of the deal." I thought BINGO but after accepting and passing on a few days my budget remained where it was. Only my overall balance had increased. IMAGE ATTACHED
I still couldn't field a senior squad
I spoke to someone on a discord forumn who said that had a similar problem and we both had a similarity that both of us keep getting the email
"The club has a positive transfer budget, so the board have relinquished control of player sales." (I HAVE ATTACHED THE EMAIL I KEEP RECEIVING AS AN IMAGE, ALBEIT THE NUMBERS BELOW DO CHANGE)
Every single time we agree an outgoing deal for a player, big/small/perm/loan. It always shows that. I think this is probably closely related to the issue but I'm not certain
Idrk what the issue is but I think it's clear that there's some sort of bug going on, I initially thought the emails were harmless and just a cosmetic email bug but now I actually think my FM24 inbox is harming my enjoyment of the title.
