Fired in preseason for not finishing mid table????

I’m doing a career mode on fc24 and in the season before we placed 6th and won the FA cup, I completed all objectives given but for some reason my approval rating was stuck on orange.

Next season starts and I complete the first critical objective “sign a crucial midfielder” and when I finish negotiations my ratings shot down to the red zone. Now this isn’t due to high wages or anything I gave him less than my usual players are paid.

I then get an email 6 days later saying I’m sacked “FOR NOT PLACING MID TABLE”?????

In JULY?????

And I can’t do any of the objectives during preseason to even try get my rating up is there any way I can fix this or do I need to start my save all over again💔
