Welcome to the real world. Very similar to how clubs in real life will work with promotions, especially to the Premier League.

I understand that clubs have promotional wage increases, but Norwich have a pretty strict wage structure in place and £100k a week isn't realistic.  Pukki's premier league wages were reported as "well north of £50k" and this is the same contract (he has a 1 year extension clause): https://theathletic.com/3204455/2022/03/24/should-norwich-keep-teemu-pukki/

I'd suggest that "well north" does not mean double and something around £60k would be more fair.  For other players, Placheta is a fringe player and the idea that his wage rise is in excess of most other players at the club doesn't have much grounding in reality.

Some of the Norwich promotion wage rises seem absolutely crazy. I just got promoted and my wage bill nearly doubled (putting me 200k over the limit) I've not signed new contracts with players and now Pukki gets £100k a week, Giannoulis and Sara £60k and Placheta £50k.  I don't know if the researcher has some evidence that isn't publicly available but these seem pretty wildly unrealistic and outside of the club's wage structure to me.

Newcastle's record transfer is still set to Joelinton, not Isak.  Got a message saying I'd broke the record when I splashed £63m on Maddison, not sure if it's triggering at the correct amount but showing the wrong record?
