Help turning semi-professional

[Rockpsl76]

I'm playing at Truro, second year after being promoted into the BS Premier. Unfortunately my board decided to make the team go pro. I was happy at first, and made the grave error of saving the game. Now I see that I can't afford any of my players... All the players I was paying $500 - $600 for part time contracts are now demanding $2000 - $2500. But the board won't let me pay more then $900 for a key player... So I can't sign anyone on my team to full time contracts... Is is possible to convince the board to revert back? Or am I going to have to start from scratch with a brand new team at the end of the season...? Its will be really demoralizing if I have to lose all the players I've been developing over the last 4 years

To add injury to insult, I can't even get a team to buy the players off me I really wish I hadn't saved after that moron of a team president decided to go pro...

I have a 20K budget for salaries. I could afford my core players, but the board won't let me offer anyone more than $900... Its kind of dumb for the board to go Pro and not raise the player maximum salaries to accommodate Pro salaries Any way to get the board to raise the maximum allowable salary for players?

I have a 20K budget for payroll, so I could afford to sign my core players, but the board won't let me pay more then $900 for most of my players... Any way I can raise the boards maximum player salaries? Its kind of rediculous for the board to take the team pro, but not raise the maximum salary limits

From your posts I gather that essentially you are looking for a way to increase your maximum salary that you can offer your players. I have absolutely no idea how to do this and am also looking into how to do so. I've played a majority of my seasons as PTFC and as a MLS team, the only way I ever got an increase was due to MLS salary cap increases per year due to revenue sharing. This is unique to MLS, and it never was a substantial increase. Being able to change 3 contracts to DP status (which allow for nearly unlimited max wages) and this increase does not apply to the Czech league (and essentially all other leagues) which I am playing in now as Sparta, and the max I can pay per week at Key Player wages is about 9k/wk. Most Czech national team members make around 30k/wk at the least. How the **** can I raise the max salary I can offer to players? Wage raise % per year and loyalty bonuses just can't make up for everything.
