Currently, there is no reason at all for a manager to get a more lucrative contract, because the salary can't be spent on anything. At the same time, there are a lot of things that can theoretically be done for money. For example:
- go on a license course at your own expense if the club owner doesn't agree to it
- Pay for courses to improve a particular attribute (hire a motivational coach, for example)
- Organize a team barbecue to bring the team together, raise morale, solve conflicts
- give a gift to an important player to improve loyalty
- hire a PR team to improve your own reputation
- give access to some additional statistics or analytics as paid subscriptions to professional software or magazines.
At least make a paid change of clothes, or tatoos. Otherwise there is no point in salaries, only the club's money is wasted.
I believe the community can give much more ideas how to spend manager's salary
