Its definitely not right. I was playing as Dundee United in the Scottish championship. Had an objective to reach latter stages of the league cup. Got Celtic away in 2nd round and lost narrowly 2-1 @ Celtic park in a match that Celtic were heavy favourites for. Celtic scored there winner in stoppage time - 92nd minute.
The board are not happy that we didn't make the objective but say they understand that we were drawn against a very difficult team which is fair enough. However at the same time the players are requesting a meeting and saying they are unhappy that we failed to meet our objective and that they think my management is to blame.
I saved it before talking to them as I had read about the issues with interactions on here and no matter what I did they were unhappy.
Apart from the fact it shouldn't be happening in the first place there's no option to say we were drawn against a difficult team or we were drawn against Celtic away which was the conclusion the board were apparently able to come to themselves without even asking me.
I now have a team of unhappy players even though we've won all 4 league games and are top of the table which is and should be our main and most important objective.
