Feeder Clubs

Has anyone find it hard to find any feeder clubs. I started with Newport from the start and just promoted to Division 1 with some luck (season 2013/2014). Got some cash on hands (balance of € 4.1) by selling. Get to manage a "national" reputation (as manager and club). But the board still refuses me to get any feeder clubs, is this due to the fact that Newport is from Wales. Is there a possibility to convince the board in some way to get a feeder club.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

This is a dodgy one. The Home Nation FAs effectively ban any kind of feeder arrangement, i.e. no "first option" or Directors having interests in more than one Club.

SI say they have the arrangement in purely so big clubs can loan players to lower teams so they can gain experience of first team football, and for the teams to arrange friendlies, ostensibly so the lower club can benefit financially.

In LLM, where we strive for realism, it's a grey area. Our initial, and current, thoughts are that LLaMas shouldn't use the facility but we won't say "don't do it", though Zealot's wouldn't touch it with someone else's, to the extent of turning down friendlies and not using loanees signed by the board.

The Guidelines Thread tells all.

iajafer thanks for the answer, but there remains one question for me. Will this change as soon as I become a Premiership club.

Further what i don't understand is the explanation i receive from my board. I have requested several times for a feeder club. In the beginning they told me they could not find a proper club to work with, but right now they tell me that they think a feeder club is not needed.

I think a fair bit of work needs done on it, to be honest.
