Hmmmmmmm. I send a scout from Scotland out to Turkey to look for some players.
Scout comes back and tells me he could not see anything to recommend, like pace, ability, position etc. as he does not speak Turkish.
I'd be sacking my scout, personally.

more important for LL teams than for Liverpool, Ajax or Bayern, obviously.
| Are you implying Ajax isn't Lower League?
They just got beaten 4-2 by NAC ffs... 
On-topic: I guess there are multiple factors involved in this. Perhaps also the financial aspect should play a part combined with the language and nations-part. But I am uncertain how the financial aspect could be implemented really.

Right, I backspaced some lines and forgot to go into the financials...
I mean that maybe some sort of scouting budget should be allocated. Basically we now pay our scouts a wage and they travel around Ireland (in my case).
When they come back I send them out again, and again and again...
The guy will need to sleep somewhere I would guess and I would guess as well that he doesn't pay for hotels and restaurants out of his part-time wages.
If I would like my scout to go on an annual trip to Barbados to scout (I'm sure he wouldn't mind) I could imagine this would cost me almost my entire scouting-budget for example.
Same goes for domestic scouting. If I send my scout out for 4 trips instead of 40 I would spend less money so I could send him over to the mainland for example.
This would however mean a real change in how scouting works, I guess.

I was under the impression that scouting costs were taken into account in the game via the 'other' section of the expenditure accounts.
I'm sure I've seen my monthly sundry costs reduce when not using the scout(s), might be imagining it though.

| Wow, if that's true I should cut down on my scouting...
I tend to send them back out immediately. This would be a financial no-no when you're only allowed to scout your home-nation like me, I guess.
I also guess I've being saying I guess a lot...

Don't take my statement as gospel, I still have to check my theory.

Scouting budget get's the :thup: from me. As long as the costs of scouting the Netherlands for a Scottish LL team for example are prohibitive, with a trip to N.I or poofland being expenive but do-able.

Thanks for posting this - there is a database field that I can amend to help reduce the propensity of N Irish clubs to sign English players, in the nations part of the db,and I will advise the N Ireland HR Mark to look at it. That should have the effect to reduce the instances you have described.
