Bezzler Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I have started a new game as Wycombe and have been advised to try and reduce 2 players wages as my asst manger thinks they do not warrent what they currently get. I have tried to offer them a new contract reducing their wage and their squad status from important player to back up but they will not except. I decided to have a private chat with them as i have seen a option for reducing wage demand but it seems to be greyed out all the time. I have tried the private chat before offering them a contract and after but it's never available. Has anyone ever been able to use this option and the other few options which seem to always be greyed out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 if you hover over the greyed out options it will tell you why you cannot use them, in that instance you can only use that option if your club is in financial trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiem Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I've never had any success reducing player's wages in this situation - I've found that if they're good, you just have to bite the bullet and pay them (and then try to keep wage rises to a minimum when offering new contracts) and if they're not so good, get rid of them!

milnerpoint Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 you could try a low wage with a really big appearance fee if you don't plan on playing them too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dking Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Cant you just sell them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'd try to sell them too. Why should they accept less money anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezzler Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thats what i thought when offering them a new contract but i thought i would give it a go anyway. I have decided to ignore it for the time being as one of them is having a good season and i don't want to rock the boat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonerohin1 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Dropping their status from First team to Backup in a contract offer may not be the best way forward... Instead, try changing it to backup first, and then after a few months of playing them very rarely, offer them a new lower wage contract with an increased appearance fee... that should do the trick...

Bezzler Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Nice one i will give that a go. The main sticking point is that one of the players is new to the club and he was already in the squad when i joined. it is a real pain as his stats are rubbish compared to real life i have thought about editing him but i am reluctant to as it feels like cheating.

sutnop Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've been trying to reduce Buffon's wages at Juventus who the data department put at a ridiculous and astonishing 200k a week.... Also without luck. I never run my club to the ground financially as I always keep under the wage bill and maximaize player sales through long term installments...

Lazaru5 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Two of my best players are apparently paid more than their abilities demand... but they're my best players? (and I have worse players on more... o.O ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidmonkey Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 one trick i found is check the players agent, if they have a large rating for fee, lower the players wages but give the agent more money, seems to work for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
