Semi-Negotiable meaning?

[Joel]

Does anyone know the meaning of 'semi-negotiable' when negotiating contracts? Obviously 'non-negotiable' means you cannot change anything, and 'semi-negotiable' would suggests that certain aspects can be changed - does anyone know specifically what these are?

When offering a contract anything yellow is semi negotiable.

yes but he is asking what it means not what colour they are

If a certain bonus was semi negotiable, you could change it but not remove it, I believe.
Not sure what it does with every other possibility but I rarely use it myself. Some players I have signed asked for certain clauses in their contracts before, and some of these were either semi or non negotiable.

Semi-negotoable means that the player/agent asks for a stipulation in the contract but its up to the club to decide its value. The player/agent has a minimum criteria for it, and you need to find the best for both you and the player.

EG - Player wants a wage rise from 1k p/w and thinks it should be 1.5K +, so wage window goes yellow letting you adjust the value. If you go too low, the player will simply refuse the offer completely. You move it to 1.4, he says no, but asks for 1.6. You move it to 1.5, and he accepts.

Congrats - you now know semi-negotiable variables.
