But I won promotion.

Another example of why so many people find the interaction element in this years version so frustrating. The player interaction, unrealistic demands, refusing to sign a new contract then leaving on a free and signing for a team with a lower reputation for a fraction of what you were offering per week etc.

Anyway, so I went up via the playoffs and I get to the pre-season team meeting and, well you can see the options I have to choose from. This is just one example of why the whole interaction needs a complete overhaul.

Another example is a player who wanted to move to a larger team > told him I'm aiming to get the club promoted this season ( which I did albeit via the playoffs ) > he says that would make him want to stay. He has just handed in a transfer request for me failing to increase the clubs stature. That wasn't even what his initial complaint was ! And now he is refusing to talk to me stating our relationship has broken down and nothing I do can change that ! Seriously

I won't address your other points because you don't give any specific information. Where is your team predicted to finish this season?

That makes sense Alex. I always set my pre season for 6 weeks, so usually get back before the season update day. If it's a known issue, great. Ta for the reply.

After the season update, is the player still unhappy?

Give me a second to check if I have a prior save. And I'll let you know when I get to the update day Dave. Shouldn't take too long.

No prior save unfortunately. The game updated on 25th June and the players unhappiness disappeared and he will now speak to me, thankgod otherwise I would've lost him on a free. He has also just signed a new 2 year deal.
