Gelbs Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Got offered by Arsenal a new contract of £115,000 grand a week, and seeing as it ain't real money, gave myself £16750k instead to save on wages. Could of had only a pound lol. Thought that be a bit too unrealistic though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindhoffen Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I haven't lowered my wages, but seeing as it's pointless to have it I might as well put it as low as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbs Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Comes in handy for signing players and their wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHUK Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've not paid attention to my own wages, in my opinion having a high wage is good for job security as they'll be reluctant to sack you quickly because of the compensation involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
streety Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 ive done this before, i have lowered my own wages while i was Stafford boss in FM10 they offered me 250 more than my current contract so i just left it at the original i was already getting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saner2oo2 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yep, I am on an almighty £1p/w I think its a great feature for saving the pennies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbs Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Works both ways though. If you're doing a crap job, you'll more than likely get booted anyway. Plus, they would know another manager wouldn't accept such a low wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ting2004 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I try and earn on par with the average player, can't have Hibbert earning more then me etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelle Slaets Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I want to hire an agent to take care of my wages. I would be making a hell of a lot more + bonusses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wright\'s Champion Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I think it is unrealistic that you can do it so i always just try and get as much as i can. I know it means less for signing players etc, but as far as possible i like to try and pretend that i am actually a manager, and a manager's first concern will always be for themselves and their family, so i try and get what i can and work with whatever is left. I also think (but could be wrong) that it might slightly increase your reputation and so lead to you getting a better job quicker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsJohn Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I like to play the game realistically. £1 manager wages is no different to cheating tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I always try on to be on minimum wages. Saves money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anost Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I do the complete opposite and negotiate my contract up. Being on no-wages isn't realistic and all. Might as well just use the editor and adjust your wage budgets if you're into that sort of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Chevalier Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm doing well at the moment, so at the end of the season i shall be re-negotiating my contract. I'm only on a 2 year deal, and 17 grand a week is pitiful!!! I agree with the cheating bit, taking a really low wage doesn't seem right to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewscott Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 How do you actually lower your wages? I too am on £115,000 p/w and would like to decrease that amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 How do you actually lower your wages? I too am on £115,000 p/w and would like to decrease that amount. You need to wait until your contract is up for renewal. Low wages for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I always try and negotiate the best wages possible as it just feels like the natural thing to do in contract negotiations. I ended up with rather a lot on my FM10 game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n33712 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I just except what they offer. Don't really care. SI have never said that it has an effect or not (Bad or good) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
