I've signed a pre-contract agreement with Darren Bent so he's going to join Doncaster in the summer of my game. However, when I did the deal several months ago I forgot to read the small print. Having just looked at his profile I noticed he was 23 and having looked at the transfer screen it shows I will have to pay £1.7m compensation which I can't really afford/isn't really worth it. There seems to be no way to cancel the deal now but in previous games you could. Is there no way out of this?

[walrus]

No.  It's more realistic.  If you're desperate MCM might help, but I think you're screwed.

[Piemonte]

How about spending all your transfer fundage before the deal goes though which should cancel it?

If you havent got £1.7million in the kitty then it will be cancelled when the transfer date arrives, if you have then im afraid you're screwed. :?

I had 7mill (end of 3rd season)... all gone now though because 1.7m on Bent and 5m upgrading the stadium to 21000

The council refused planning permission for my last stadium upgrade. If only the other parts of the game were true to life, then swindon would be riding high
