Default Semi Professional Clubs.

Okay i'm going to have a bit of a whinge here about being a semi professional club in the BSP in the English league. It's nice that I make money which I never do with a professional club (except Oxford), but i'm now in my 4th season in the BSP (finishing 15th, 7th, 13th), and not being professional seems to really be hurting my chances of progressing.

All my players and staff are on full time contracts, but scouting and attracting players is a big problem. Scouts assigned to scout the whole of England only seem to scout East Anglia and East Midlands based players which is very limiting (i.e. almost every player they report on is at a club based very close to my own club and there never seem to be any from the NW, SW, W, and NE of England). I'm unable to sign players from other professional BSP clubs as they just aren't interested, and the other 4-5 semi-pro clubs always finish bottom of the league. I have £1.2m in the bank (Even after improving the training ground 3 times and the board agreeing to improve them again) and the club still makes about £10k a month, I'm not allowed any transfer budget.

Basically why the hell isn't the club turning professional? I doubt I will be able to get promoted unless I can attract some better strikers, as the new patch has shown up how rubbish mine really are. Turning pro and being able to scout the whole of the UK not just a tiny corner of it would be a massive help and might help to lower my blood pressure .

Playing FM in the Norwegian league clubs wont become profesional until you're promoted to the premier division :S

Keep doing what you're doig though. Make money and loan players, thats a great way of bringing higher quality to your team. Get a parent club and milk them for all their young talent.

Keep at it. I managed to win the Conference Play Offs as a semi pro club at the first attempt, a year after doing the same in the Conference North Play Offs
