    why can i offer non-contracts at some clubs but not at others?

    hi guys. was wondering why, as manager of Villa, i could offer non-contracts or get staff on a part-time basis but i cannot at Everton. these are new saves so its not a patch issue. is it something to do with club policy? can it be changed? cheers.
