Description of issue
Playing in the National League South, the rules say "Under-24 players must be offered similar terms before the third Saturday in May or four days after their last match in the season (whichever comes later) otherwise no compensation will be due if they sign for other clubs."
My problem therefore is that if a player refuses to negotiate, it doesn't count as being offered similar terms - even if I'm prepared to offer much better terms. So I end up losing good players for no compensation. And, because it seems other teams don't have the same mechanics of interaction with the players, anyone I'm trying to sign comes with a hefty compensation fee that I can't afford. The two together are really frustrating and don't seem fair.
I should be able to offer a player the terms that would trigger compensation, even if they instantly refuse it.
