Ka432 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I am currently playing as Man U as I am a supporter myself and seeing as it is my first play through of the game I thought I would choose one of the best teams to get me started with the basics. In my first season I won the Premier Division and the European Champions League and I was quite happy with doing so. I now have been trying to buy Messi off Barcelona as I have more than enough money to do so. So they accept my offer but then I try and offer a contract and I see an insane 300k wage that he expects. Being Man U my wage budget is 140k which is under half of what Messi expects. I have tried to offer the best contract I can to him multiple times now (he even wanted to leave Barcelona and asked to put on the transfer list but alas he still wouldn't accept my offer). My query is simply how do I up my wage budget? The board keep denying my requests to up it and I am now on my 3rd season and my budget hasn't changed despite winning a lot of cups/leagues. I need to buy Messi Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claret_Chris Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 adjust your wage budget, and after a period of time you'll be able to offer higher wages, i tend to not buy anyone in the first season and just blow all the transfer budget into the wage budget so when it gets to season 2 you have a nice kitty In my Burnley game that has sinced maxed at 30 seasons I was able to offer upwards of 300k + cant remember the exact number. Although I never paid anyone more than 150k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggle Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 On the Club => Finances screen, there is a button in the bottom right corner of the screen which allows you to sacrifice some transfer kitty for more wage budget (and vice versa). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and if I leave it like that with more wage budget after a while my maximum budget will increase? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoismilan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I haven't confirmed this, but I suspect there is something else which also determines what your maximum wage is, not only how much room there is. Currently I have: Financial state: Rich Transfer budget: £104M Wage budget: £1259000 Current wage total: £895000 Maximum wage: £140000 Current highest wage: £80000 My wage total has been quite steady, never more than £900000-something, and no one player has ever had more than £90000. Might there be a possibility that either current highest wage or current wage total has something to do with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might there be a possibility that either current highest wage or current wage total has something to do with it? i dont think so, I never payed more than 150k, and tbh the player who i payed 150k to only wanted 90k but i felt obliged to reward my 60 goal a season striker. Every other player was on less than 100k, and i could offer 300k + Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted June 1, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted June 1, 2011 I haven't confirmed this, but I suspect there is something else which also determines what your maximum wage is, not only how much room there is. The game will slowly increase the maximum wage if you have a lot of slack in your budget and are rich and have at least a reasonable transfer budget (ie. haven't simply dumped everything into the wage budget) - play around with transferring funds back and forth and you should find you can sneak it up a bit .... although tbh 140k isn't particularly low imho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
