The guidelines are there to make the game more realistic, that's the point of LLM. As physim has said, you need to scout realistically. It's one thing saying I'll hire a German scout to wander around Germany and report back but you have to consider whether anyone from overseas will travel to whatever Counrty you are amanging in for £40 per week! I doubt they will uproot their families for that.
Having said that, welcome to LLM. Follow the guidlines and you will have an enjoyable yet frustrating experience but you will gain more from it than going straight to a top team and being sacked after 6 months.
One word of advice; spread out your sentences a bit as some of the posters here do not have English as a first language and may not understand or be bothered to read a big block of text! That also applies to some of the English speaking chaps in here!
