Description of issue
I took over Cape Town during the winter break. All of the senior contracts are expiring in 6 months. Despite the fact that I have no players, other than a few youth players, signed for next season, I cannot negotiate any contracts for current players.
Yes, I am currently way over the wage budget -- something we still can't see when deciding whether to take a job -- but I cannot extend any contracts even if I am offering a reduction in the current season's wages.
For example, I want to negotiate a new contract for my best young starter:
He currently makes $73k/yr. His agent wants $94k/yr. I understand that I cannot give him a raise in this season because I'm already way above the wage budget, but I am not even allowed to offer him say $40k/yr with $0 loyalty bonus, which would reduce my current year's wage budget.
Here is the max the Board will allow, which is nonsense:
The Board will not even allow me to offer more than a 6 month contract - so I'm not even allowed to sign any players for next season.
[side note: In real life, because my highest earners are old players, with expiring contracts, who I would not re-sign in the off season, I would offer this young player a reduced wage in the current season in exchange for a higher wage than he's demanding in succeeding seasons, but we're not allowed to do that]
Maybe the problem is because the game says that I'm committed to spending >$2mm next season, which is not correct:
But you can see that all of my high contracts expire in 6 months:
And when sorted by expiration, I am committed to only around $63k (plus some youth contracts) next season:
