Learn how to read. Everything you need to know is in the header, which is located at the top of the page when you first click on "Lower League Managers."

Got it... I did read the thread though, just that I didn't see the minimum of 3 seasons update though. My bad.

Anyway, I've a small problem here. My team plays In Singapore but they can only sign African players, but I can only scout in Singapore... so, is it still against LLM ethics to use the player search screen to find African players this way?

In a word: yes

Why can they only sign African players?

Sporting Afrique - Wiki knows all.

You're royally screwed then.

I just spent an hour looking at the club history, the websites and the BBC and other news reports...and it was football at its worst.

Unrealistic in the extreme and an embarrassment to the sport.

Just read up on it, myself, and I may have been a bit harsh. The sentiment remains, don't use search, but get out of that club... and quick.

Get out of the slave trade. I suggest you pay Frank a visit.

Sometimes reality can be stranger then computer games.

I have had a short go with Sporting Afrique as well.
It was actually Frank that picked them for me.
But it is very difficult. You cant sign any players. I dont mean 'it is difficult' like conference N/S. It is physically impossible if you are playing the LLaMa way. The scout can only scout Singapore, which may turn up 1 or 2 African players, but they are already playing for better clubs and would never have any intention of shifting to this 'slave trade' as it has been termed.
That means, youth is the only feeder for new players. These players are only playable by virtue of how carp the team as a whole is.

I haven't moved on yet, but tempted. I know the frustration is all part of the LLM challenge, but this is taking the p1ss.
