Default Regarding Chairmen accepting bids over my head

First off i would like to say i have no problem with my chairman doing this, makes sense, and as long as you put a decent value on your player, you're not going to get screwed over.

My issue is this, i have just had a bid "worth up to 38.5 million" accepted over my head for my star CB, no problem, he wants to leave, i have rejected bids of 10-15million ( the game rated him as only worth 5million but he is way better than that. ) however i would like to be able to view the offer so i can view the clauses inserted in there, for example there is a sell on clause in this particular transfer, and they have also opted to pay a portion of this transfer in installments. I know that once a chairman accepts the offer i have no power over it, but i would syill like to be able to view the offer.

cant you look at it on the player's profile?? on the transfer section, where it lists who is interested and who has made a bid, try clicking on the bid amount at the bottom, see if that works. never tried it myself, but it usually works on bids you've accepted.

In the transfer centre, are you not able to click on the transfer to see all of the details?

Thing is this area hasnt been implemented as well or as realistically as it couldve been.

1) The game should only step in with the chairman if you reject the bid, or fail to negotiate a higher fee.

2) Even then the Chairman irl would speak to you, and then maybe give you a chance to say why that player is key to your plans or is worth more. Alternatively you should be able to say well if X goes then I want you to pull out the stops to get player Y (or even players).

3) If after all this he still sells the player then you need options to threaten to quit etc.

Its why each release feels thin on the ground in terms of new features in that SI add neat little things but never really flesh them out or at the very least make them realistic- its all a bit half-hearted at times.

If you look at his details the upcoming total transfer fee will be mentioned. That fee is clickable and then you can see the details of the bid.

I agree with these points.

After a few seasons with my favourite club Norwich, I decided to move on to Man City in order to challenge for honours, I come 3rd in the league and build a pretty good squad over the season and add a few bodies in the summer.

Then a week before the season begins Sinawatra decides to sell my starting LB and CB for £20M each, throwing my plans into disarray! Felt like quitting there and then, only I want to be able to tell the chairman why I am unhappy.
