Hard cap on wages for some teams despite editing a higher number?

[themodelcitizen]

Can't find it anywhere in the editor, might be a setting with the Board in-game, but setting up future transfers to Saudi Arabia and I notice that once they arrive in a save in July 2023, Al-Ittihad's new boys are showing at a max of something like 275K a week (GBP). Other clubs don't have the same problem and get the same wage I set in the editor.

I can see "maximum wage" under "finances" for each club but that doesn't seem to actually affect it. Similarly I don't see anything in the nation rules under "transfers", "contract rules" etc (and it's only happening for one club anyway). Is there something in the Chairman's setting?

perhaps better to leave max wage blank

in game view the club  objectives does it say to work within a wage budget?

what is the rich benefactor status

Thanks for helping out. Rich benefactor is the same as clubs around them. I tried changing "ownership" from something like "members/no elections" to "members/elections", same as their rivals, but no dice.

Will check with club objectives. Didn't see anything in supporter objectives, or the chairman's objectives, that would seem to affect it. I'll experiment with leaving max wage blank as well, although I expect that will lower the wage even more (unrealistic wages is what this summer is all about in Saudi )

This is driving me mad, massive kudos to anyone who can figure out what's going on. Even tried setting the players' future transfer to the reserve team instead but they still arrive with their wage maxed out despite me setting a higher number (that works for other players going to other clubs). Having tried a few different options, "max wage" and "remaining wage allowed" don't seem that important or limiting, the game seems to rejig that based on finances (same way you can move your budgets around once managing a club in-game)
