As you all guys know, the more seasons you play, the more attached you become to your players. Especially if you shape your team around the same core over many seasons. Inevitably the time your veterans are about to retire arrives and you'd like to keep them around as staff members.
It is something I am at loss with. If the player information tab shows anything different than "definitely not going to remain in football once he has finished his playing career" I am able to turn it around and convince him to take a role of my choice.
My question is how do I change a player's opinion when he is "definite" about not picking a staff role? Does it have anything to do with determination (as I keep a very determined squad)? Thing is I have 7 or 8 veterans with that opinion and I have consistently tried to convince them to stay over the past seven (!!!) seasons. Not a single one of them changed his mind. Already lost one of them and I'm afraid the others won't stay much longer as they are nearing their 40's.
So either it is impossible or I am doing something wrong. I have made hundreds of attempts altogether, different tones, different suggested roles, different time spans between attempts. Is it a lost cause or could you offer me a valuable piece of advice to apply?
