I am playing an incredible first season with Athletic Club, tied with Real Madrid at first place coming into January. The club has 4 million in balance so the board takes a 51 million mortgage loan and gives me 36 million in transfer fee, which makes sense since I need to add depth for the upcoming title challenge. However, it does not add into the balance?? So instead, I how the same balance but I am in 51 million of depth. Is there something I am not understanding here? Plus the data hub is broken. It only gives me the game state of every game but not passing map. Every save I have put time in gets ruined by a bug in the game. In my 15 years of playing every game without a deal breaking bug, this version of FM makes me not want to play anymore.

I posted a similar problem couple of weeks ago but now it's worse. I just got promoted to the League 2 with Dorchester. I got a healthy balance but still the board doesn't allow me to offer proper contracts to non-playing staff. I could only offer 200 pounds p/w but everyone wants 425 p/w, even the worst regen staff with 1 in every single attribute. I asked the board for more staff wage limit, they accepted but I can only offer 240 p/w now, still a lot lower than the 425 p/w everyone wants. I need to fix this because I really enjoy this save and I have never encountered this in the 15 years of playing every single FM religiously. The game is unplayable with this bug.

I holidayed one season and now I am managing Dorchester Town in the Vanarama National South. There was no staff at the club (as usual when you do this challenge) when I joined. But in this years edition there was a 120p p/w limit on staff contracts and every coach, physio I approached wanted 180 p/w, regardless of there skill level. I needed to put in every clause available, including 1k bonus if I managed to stay up, for them to accept a 120 p/w contract. Maybe there needs to be more, worse staff you can get for 90-120p p/w contracts as this was quite frustrating.
