I just got approached by my favorite team both in-game and otherwise, Brann. Was pondering the offer for some time, but found out I was gonna struggle to buy over half of my current squad anyway, so I migh as well be staying.

However, with the addition of manager wages in 06, staying puts a dent in the so-called strive for realism: Brann is offering 7 times the wages I've got at Lillestrøm. Surely that would have something to say IRL, but heck, what difference does it really make in the game? I mean, if I could, I'd negotiate the wages down, so I'd have more £ to spend on the donkeys.

Would you guys ever let manager wages tip the scales?

In a game no, real life yes!

I assume manager wages are taken out of the overall club budget so, the lower the better as far as I am concerned!

IMO, the introduction of manager wages is just a gimic for those playing in the prem so they can say "Ooo, I'm earning £50,000 a week, I'm great"!

Nah i dont think so, obviously for the sake of realism I wouldn't accept a contract extension for much much lower wages. I don't think it makes a huge difference to be honest, although if I become manager of a big club I may let my ego get the better of me and start demanding big bucks

I enjoy making the board sweat by rejecy=ting their offers. Then they sack me

If someone negotiated down the wages his club are offering him, I'd consider it unrealistic to say the least, if not cheating.

Notlob offered me £5.5k p/w rolling contract, I was getting £4k at East Stirlingshire, I jumped at the chance

It isn't possible to reduce the wages they're offering you. I tried. I wanted nothing. I wasn't allowed.

retired_kswansonwoolf

Excellent. :thup:

You left the shire? Stadium expansion got you down??

retired_Lalalalare

That's true, of course. But given the same principle - isn't it as unrealistic to turn down an offer where you would earn 7 times as much as in your current job?

There are certainly levels of commitment here, but all I'm implying is that in a career game, the amount of money you're offered might "force" you to jump ship. If you're being pedantic, that is.
