trickz Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Guys I need your help! I'm on a great Celtic save and I'm enjoying it a lot until now.. basically my board is randomly accepting bids for my players and there's nothing I can do, when I go to the transfer center there isn't an option to refuse the offer. Keep in mind that in the Staff responsibilities tab I'm the ONLY ONE who can negotiate transfers but still the board keeps accepting. They are accepting bids for all my best players (fairly low bids too). Is there anything I can do to stop this? I have the in game editor, I don't mind if it's cheating or not just tell me how can I stop this. I want to have 100% control over my transfers. I really don't want to mess up this save, I have invested a lot of time and effort in it just to be screwed by my board. ps- I'm using FM17 and my club is currently rich, we aren't struggling financially at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaW Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Depending on the board, they can accept offers above the managers head if they feel the offer is good enough. This usually happen less if you have good finances, but it can happen at any time. I think the chairman have a stat called "interference" or something similar that depends how often they will take decisions above the managers head. It was so in previous games at least. I think you have the option to protest, and they might listen to you, but sometimes they won't hear your arguments. I don't know of any way to stop this other than protesting, unfortunately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humbby Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 As far as i know theres no way to stop it :/ but if you really want to keep hold of him you probably just need to let him go and get him back to ur club using the editor. i will personally never do that but if u really want to keep him at the club thats the only option i guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbchuz Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You're right, there's nothing you can do (aside from reloading a save and trying to avoid a bid and/or contrive a situation that gives you a little more control). Considering how awful the transfer logic can be at times, it would be nice to have an option to disable this. I understand what they're going for - in reality, managers very often have little to no say over transfers, but only because the board/DoF competently manages them. In a game where you share this lack of control yet have to watch helplessly as the AI acts with anything but competence, it's a recipe for frustration.

gunner86 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Offer the player a new contract. If he accepts, it overrides the transfer bid 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the only option then. Give him an outrageous offer and he might stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 There's always the option of bankrupting the incoming club for a short time, forcing them to continuously push back the transfer until they secure the funds. If you're lucky the window will pass, the deal will collapse, and you'll still have your player. Just reinstate the clubs cash afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a really key player and I don't want to lose him. :/ Isn't there an option on the in game editor where I can, I don't know, ''remove'' powers of the board? Decrease their influence? Just something... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugboat Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Have you set his transfer fee to something really high like 150m , this usually stops teams from bidding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRTaylor Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I actually like this feature as I find it realistic - It does happen in real life. If you want to stop it though, you could edit the bidding clubs transfer budget to £Nil after their offer is accepted by your chairperson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji-Sung Park Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 It's a wonderful feature. Imagine a manager being able to accept or decline financial instruments at a football club, it's nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going down that route though, just edit out his unhappiness, new deal, bish bash bosh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robioto Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 This would really annoy me if this happened to me, thankfully it never has. It's a save ruiner and there should be an option to disable it. I'm all for realism, but if a rich club is accepting low ball offers for their best players, that is not realistic.

Yes, they are a selling club due to their division, but if the OP is right on saying that Celtic are rich in his save then the board accepting low ball offers is unrealistic. They should hold out for the most money possible, or not interfere at all when the club is in a strong financial position and doesn't have to sell. To be fair though, we don't really know the detail of the transfers the OP is talking of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grff Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Unfortunately it can happen at the most elite clubs in the game if the chairman has high interference. I managed Bayern and had this happen. You can always offer him out for free so it attracts a few dozen bids and then hope he accepts one of those offers so you can then cancel it when it comes to confirming the deal. You'll otherwise have to use the editor if he chooses the team that the chairman accepted the bid from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaSince86 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 This happens irl quite a lot, Perez at Madrid has a lot more say about who is sold than you'd think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This worked for me! nothing else did, just keep offering him to clubs and then declining when hes about to move Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
