Thermaltake Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hey, i thought i would ask my fellow football manager geeks what you thought about this situation. I got Leeds promoted in my 1st season, pipped Aston Villa on the last day of the season for 2nd place. I promised Ronaldo Vieira towards the back end of the season a new contract in the summer to bring him in line with other players in the squad, problem is, i offer a contract and the agent insists on a 6m buy out clause for Champions Cup teams. His current contract doesn't run out for 24 months, theoretically i don't have to offer him a new contract but i also don't want an unhappy player as he's crucial to us. If i offer a new contract, i know i'm going to lose him. What should i do? Offer a new contract and hope for the best or wait a season, try and get near the top of the table so i can offer a new contract in 12 months? He'll hopefully see we're ambitious and not want a release clause. I'm really stuck with this decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I would offer the contract, losing the player is better than an unhappy one disrupting others. Besides which the clause is for only for Champion's League teams which significantly reduces the number of clubs which can activate it meaning less risk.

Thermaltake Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yea, that was my initial thought. I'm going to lose him, that composure for an 18yo is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbo11 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Agree with Cougar, I'd offer the contract. It's unlikely that a CL team will come in for him during the upcoming season I'd have thought. Then be proactive and offer a new one in 12 months time without the release clause but with other clauses instead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermaltake Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yep, ok, i'll offer him the contract. I bet get scouting then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once inserted a clause in for my best striker who then left me once a bigger club came in, found myself slide the table! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermaltake Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yep good idea, going to offer him the contract near the end of the transfer window as well to leave as little time as possible for other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check your promises tab before trying this, I've been caught out by thinking I've got more time than I have before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
