He also wanted I cut my team salary from 100 mil to 70mil at the same time he was insisting I re-sign a superstar to a 38 million contract extension.
I often find myself thumbing my nose at the owner.

Yah, this is why I support a focus on things like owner goals/relationships and the entire financial system when it comes to improvements. Basically, most of the management structure that should be a core element of OOTP and what makes it unique but is in need of an overhaul.
There's often just a total lack of logic behind things like the owner's demands and the financial system/fan interest/market size evolution etc.
For me, needing to go into commish mode and alter things would kill my immersion. I'd probably just scrub the entire save and start a new one. But that's just me.
In saying that, I'm not passing judgement on you for doing it . If you're enjoying the save, that's all that matters and I can understand why you'd feel compelled to make the adjustment when there is no rationale or realism behind the owner's demands.
