Gusano Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Why is it that you sometimes have to pay the difference in salaries for a player who wants to leave, but the same is not true for the AI? For example, I have a played that hates me. He hands in a transfer request, and since he's not even that good, I accept and try to sell him. It's around 17 August. A club in Croatia wants to buy him. I sell him for 2M and he agrees to the contract they give him. However, his contract is substantially less than what I am paying now. He asks me, "Well, you gotta pay the difference in wages for 4 years, which adds up to 1.6M." Why does this never happen to the AI? What I mean is, why can't I offer a player who is desperate to leave a lower contract than he already has? Why can't he ask his current club to pay this difference?

I have had players agree to the terms etc and then pull out later on. This could sometimes be why? Also, the player may be telling you the minimum he wants to leave his current club, maybe he doesn't want to leave them with them having to keep paying them? Just taking a stab in the dark though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gusano Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 No what I mean is sometimes you have to pay the difference in wages but the AI clubs never have to and it seems unfair to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have seen this happen once on FM10 as Crewe manager I signed Vela from Arsenal and they paid the difference of around 15k. I did post about it when it happened but cannot find the thread still it can happen but that is the one and only time I have ever seen it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen AI clubs pay the difference a number of times on FM11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krald Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 It's just such a rare thing in the grand scale of things, I mean in like over 20 years of FM2011 (almost 40 if I count both saves) I only saw one single player ask for me to pay part of his wages when he left. So because of this, it's unlikely you'll notice if say two clubs that arent related to yours enter a similar agreement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's a regular occurence, probably because i'm ruthless at shifting deadweight when I first join a club. With my most recent manager it happened 5 times in 3 seasons.

Menion Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The computer doesn't actively seek to try and get rid of their unwanted players. They don't offer them out like we do, they would rather their contract run down and leave on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've had it happen a few times on FM for me. The one I remember most was Gary Cahill on FM10 who joined me for £23k a week iirc and was accepting £16k a week from Man United. Edit: What I have seemed to notice is the only ever time you have the slight chance of it happening for you is if a player is on the transfer list.

eplkewell Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The only time I remember this happening to me was back on FM08 or so, when I signed Carlos Bocanegra for the Fire and got his European club to pay the massive wage difference for years.
