Currently in a ludicrous situation. I am £750,000 per week under my wage budget.

I want to offer contracts to both my left midfielder, who wants £175,000 per week, which I am very happy to pay, its actually less than his current slightly, and my assistant manager who wants a 'large contract'.

My board allows me to go 125,000 a week for my players at maximum, this is absurd! The team has 60,500,000 in the bank, and in my last few years has won the Premiership 4 times running, and the Champions League twice. I can't sign the assistant manager a new contract with the measly 18,750 p/w that the board allows me, so currently I stand to lose probably my best player and my assistant manager because I can only offer them 125,000 and 18,000 respectively, even with 750,000 left of the budget. What the hell is going on?

WTF! I would never pay any of my players that much! (& btw, I'm Inter Milan with a balance of £900m & my highest earner is on £80k p/w)

That's not really the point. The player wants that much, he's the best player in the world, I have massive room for the pay, and the board is being stubborn.

I don't even think Tiger Woods make 175,000 p/w.

Why would the player request such an amount? Is he unsettled?

[Rodelero]

Problem is its pretty much ridiculous, the financial state has never been so good, and yet they used to allow me to offer much much more. :/

Darned forum. No, he's happy about playing for the club, superb morale etc.

The best thing will be when he signs for another club with lower reputation for 100.000 PW

Helpful. Any excuse for another post point, eh?

Can I ask who the player is asking for £175k? Is it Ashley Cole? Lucas Neill?
