EnigMattic1 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Ok, I can't really get my head around this one. I'm trying to sign a player for my team in the Southern League Premier Central. One of the promises he wants is: "Work towards a regular Southern League Premier Central place in 2020/21 by yo-yoing between divisions" How can I yo-yo when I only have 1 season to fulfil the promise? I get religated, I fail. I get promoted, I fail. I finish mid table, I fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just delete the promise- I have found that you can delete almost all of the player requests without any problem as long as they get the money they are looking for- what a surprise! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I delete all promises as a matter of course and don’t think I’ve ever had a problem. As @FrazT says, it’s all about the money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigMattic1 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I deleted it anyway, I just couldn't understand how it would work because there is no way for me to fulfil it in a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 TBH, some of the player expectations when they start contract negotiations are almost laughable. How can a player who has not yet signed demand that they take the penalties, or take the free kicks, or demand that the team qualifies for a particular competition or demand to use the shower nearest the toilet or whatever. Only promise what you are completely sure that you can deliver on and delete the rest and I would be surprised if there are any issues 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 1 hour ago, FrazT said: Only promise what you are completely sure that you can deliver on The only thing I usually keep is the current playing time promise. I'll at least have an idea of how much I'm going to play the player, so it's something I'm able to promise. I always try to remove promises of future playing time. I can't say how well (or quickly) a player will develop, so what if I think he's not good enough for even more playing time? Or what if I sign a much better player that next year? Too many potential problems, so I try to avoid it. Things like "improve the coaching team" etc are just too vague, so I refuse to promise something like that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigMattic1 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 The only time I've left 'improve coaching team' in was when I started an Inter Miami save and didn't actually have a coaching team so to speak. Within a week of the player signing, I'd got my coaching team together and job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
