Just got promoted with Lincoln City from League 1 to Championship. All but 3 players have come requesting new contracts. These requests are for players to get 5 or 6x their current wage. I talk them down 3 or 4K a week but it’s still left me £15K over my wage budget (this is my new Championship budget).
On top of that - they all request unreasonable playing time even though they were a fringe or squad player throughout the season. I have 2 star players (not too bad) but 10 important players. There’s absolutely no room for negotiation either as they’ll immediately kick off, reject the offer and request a transfer.
If I ever reject and say it’s unreasonable, they immediately go to the squad and complain who all go up in arms because my squad harmony is full.
The only realistic bit is the agents refuse to help.
This is a bug in the game and making it completely unplayable.
Just to add - I’ve never had it this bad before, playing every other years title.
