Yes, the appeal failed, but it’s been more than 120 days and I still can’t do anything in terms of Frauendorf’s contract/work permit. In previous games, if you were renewing a contract for a player and they couldn’t get a work permit, I believe you had two options - extend the contract anyway and apply for a work permit at a later date, or cancel the contract renewal. In this case, I cancelled the contract renewal, but the game doesn’t seem to have registered that. I can’t make another contract offer or reapply for a work permit, I can only either keep him on a rolling contract with no work permit, or release him.
