In Game Editor Vs Club and Supporter Objectives

[Kirkus Octavius]

I'm really not sure whether this is a bug, or just a very eccentric design decision.

I'm managing AS Roma. One of the club objectives is - for my first year, no less - to qualify for the Champions' League. The objective is "Desired".

Yeah, I "desire" to win 10 million bucks in next week's Lotto draw too, but my chances are about the same as those of both the real and the fictional AS Roma making the Champions' League. The Board may as well have given me a "Desired" objective of "Land the first man on Venus".

Annoyingly, when I had my first meeting with the Board there was no option to negotiate that objective, nor any other objective for this year. Why, I have no idea.

But hey, I can fix it to make the objectives more realistic with the In Game Editor (IGE), right?

No.

In the first screen shot below you can see the board objectives, and the ones that I can remove. I seem to be able to dump any of the Actionable Objectives and Informational Objectives, except for the "Required" one of "Work Within The Wage Budget".

I can even delete the one that expects me to sign high profile players when I have 5 quid in a cookie jar for a transfer budget, and some loose coins for the remains of my wages budget. But I won't; I'll take that one as a challenge even though it's logically absurd. (But to be fair, it may be less so once I start clearing dead wood; I've no idea this early in the season.)

But in the 5 Year Plan there seems to just be a random grab bag of objectives that I can delete, and none in the current year. Why??? Just... WHY??? Why those specific objectives when other similar objectives in other years aren't listed?

Similarly with the Supporter Objectives I can delete the first five... but not the 6th, which is "Qualify for the Europa League". I don't actually WANT to delete that since I'm reasonably confident that we can do that, but that's not the point. Why is THAT one not deletable while the other 5 are. I thought that it may have been because it was "Required" but then so is the (deletable) "Finish above Lazio".

I don't know what to make of this and whether it should be reported as a bug or not.
