My owner has multiple personalities

I'm really enjoying the owner goals but sometimes they go a bit off.

Last season my goals
Make the playoffs
Upgrade at Catcher
Raise attendance 400 people

I completed none of those goals and finished worst in the league same as the year before. For next year he's changed the goals to

Don't suck completely (which as far as I can tell is play roughly .400ish baseball)
Make the playoffs
Upgrade at Catcher
Raise attendance 400 people

So he's ok with me being bad but is also demanding the team be good enough to make the playoffs? Sorry dude but their is no way I will make the playoffs.

Not only that after 3 years of not completing any goals, no season above .500, and constantly telling me I'm letting him down he extended my contract and made me the highest paid GM/Manager in the league.

Guess it's better then being fired. Perhaps if he didn't constantly cut the budget I'd do better.

He's no worse than Steinbrenner was.

Maybe the "Don't suck completely" was a bit of sarcasm.
Maybe he wants to keep your goals high to get the best effort out of you.
Maybe he has provided you an incredible contract because he sees how hard you are trying with what you have to work with.

Just trying to look at the bright side.
