I'm installed as the new manager of a Conference South club and I've got questions.

--Do I, as was the case in upper leagues, have to get contracts renewed before the final-six-months window or risk getting players poached on free transfers? This is important for me. At least three-fourths of my contracts expire at the end of my first season.

--Since finding players in LLM play is keyed to realism, am I allowed to comb the rosters of other clubs for players to scout? IRL, I'd know about the guys at least on other Conference South clubs.

--Can I search for staff? (Although I wonder where I'd find replacements willing to work for the peanuts my inherited staff are getting.)

--I see from the rules that you don't commit a cardinal sin by using the search function for finding loan-ins. Have the honchos ever considered the issue of searching for released players? IRL, there are English web sites that track transfers and releases, and it wouldn't be a giant step to assume that managers have access to the Internet.

--On loaners. I've asked this question elsewhere without success. Does anybody know whether you have to pay a loaned-in player's appearance fees?

I'm not trying to rock any boats. Just trying to learn.

Can you perform us a rain dance?

No, but I tell the grounds crew to soak the pitch two hours before a match.

Thanks, ijafer. And congratulations! I asked that question about loaner fees a couple of times in the General forum. You're the first manager who had the answer.
Now, back to the new team to try to figure out what kind of squad I have.

I demand he is hanged, drawn and fourthed!

Doesn't work, somehow.
