After getting promoted to the Premier League I lost a large proportion of my squad on free transfers because they wanted insane wages. I realise they want paying more as we're in a higher division but the fact is they're not premier league quality and were only offered a new contract so I didn't have to overhaul the entire team in 1 season.
I was prepared to overpay them slightly (eg 15k p/w when they're only worth maybe 8k) but they wanted wages that were far too high for how good they were. Anyway I refused to accept it and lost most of them. They're now playing in the Championship being paid less than their original wage at my club.
Anyone else noticed this? And think it's a little unrealistic that a player would be so stubborn that he'd rather end up playing Championship football with a drop in pay than accept Premier League football with "not a big enough" pay increase.
Idiots.
