Players need a new challenge

saware · 01-23-2008, 05:52 PM

Im just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to appease players that need a new challenge?

I have two key players that now state they need a new challenge and I dont want to lose them, any suggestions?

Nothing much you can do in my experience. One of my key centre-backs at Derby in FM07 decided after 10 years at the club he wanted a new challenge. That was over a year ago and despite me offering him a contract that would more than double his wages as well as other big bonuses he won't sign and still wants to leave

You usually lose these guys I'm afraid. A new contract can sometimes help but I would concentrate on selling him and maximising profit :thup:

I think it's just a "nice way" of saying they don't wanna be at the club anymore.
Getting relegated and trying to regain promotion would be a challenge, but I hardly think they'd be up for that!

who are they, and which team are you?

Never really found the right way to deal with this. Win stuff? Maybe. *Shrugs.*

i had that at portsmouth with krancjar. even though i qualified for the champions league he still wanted to move on. weird thing was he went to blackburn and they were fighting relegation at the time.

Thus, he gets his new challenge

in FM i make the rules when choosing my team and my backups are also good players so if anyone from main team is unhappy because they want a new challenge then they can happily rot in reserve team until contract expires.

What a waste of good potential transfer revenue

Unfortunately though, when this happens to me, try to help them on their way with for best price I can get for them.
