Hi all,
I'm managing gibraltar phoenix and have progressed from amateur and am now a professional club in my first season. I have offered players contracts but can only offer one year deals. Is this the normal or will this increase as my club improves? Hard to keep squad players for longer than a year and no point in paying transfer fees if a player can become a bowman after a few months

i will quote one of the mods from the SI forums:

''One of the changes that has been made to this area of the game this year is to restrict the contract lengths the user is able to offer to players depending on a number of factors. This is to prevent scenario's where the user was previously able to offer longer term contracts to players who perhaps shouldn't have been able to get long term deals.

There are a number of factors taken into account when determining the contract lengths the user can be offered. These can be seen below.

Board attributes - Depending on the board attributes of your club, the length of contracts to certain players will be affected. For example a sugar daddied board will be more likely to allow longer contracts than a more prudent board.

Club size - Bigger the club the longer the contract that can be offered, A Premiership club is more likely to be able to offer a 5-year deal than a League 2 club for a Rotation player

Player age - The board should be more willing to sanction a longer term contract for a 26 year old in their prime opposed to a 34 year old coming towards the end of their career

Player injury proneness - The board should be more reluctant to allow a 5 year contract to be offered to a player with 3 previous cruciate knee ligament injuries than a player with a relatively clean bill of health. The players injury proneness stat is what is used to determine a players injury proneness.

Squad Status - A key player is more likely to be able to get a longer term contract than a backup player.

It might be worth noting that as you are playing in a low division, then it would be expected for the contract lengths available to be restricted.''
