VOR, in case we misunderstood eachother in the chat - this is your new settings: Mentality: Normal Passing: Short Tackling: Hard Pressing: No Counter Attack: Yes Offside Trap: No Men Behind Ball: Yes Formation: ยค-4-2 Defensive
I would like to send scout #1 to Italy and hire either Bobby Brown, or Bernie Hames which ever one is signed, send them to scout in their country of origin
As no one posted their wants for the current youth findings you can start assigning scouts again, and hire/fire staff.
Scouting options: You can assign your scout to scout: A given player Club Next opponent Youth Players (just done for all) Send scout to a given nation Send scout to a region These regions are available: Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Central America, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East, North America, Oceania, Scandinavia, Southern Europe and UK & Ireland. If you want to send a scout to a nation that is not listed as an option (18 nations listed all over the world) then I will send your scout to the region instead. Any questions about your scout, post them here or ask me in the chat. Round 6 will be simmed early today, if there will be a simming at all as I have work later. As Round 6 games comes only 2 days after Round 5, some of your players might have low conditions. Check your selection screenshots, and post your team selection here. (You can also use players from your reserve team if you want/need) I do not want any of my lesser ranked youth players, so I will send my scout to: UK & Ireland (region search). And checking the staff search pages on this page: http://home.no.net/midgaard/cmleague/index2.html I would try to sign either Steve Wignall Graham Turner Mark Seagraves as my 2nd (and maybe also 3rd) scout. Post if you want to sign these, or any of the other scouts listed. And also if you want to reassign your current scout(s) or if you want to check out the list of the lesser players these scouts have done.
My luck would have it that the only one interested in my club was only interested in joining as an assistant manager or coach. As I have an assistant manager (and I'm not ready to fire any of my staff yet) I can not offer him the assistant manager position, but I can offer him a contract as a coach, so I will do so. Forest Green Rovers offer Steve Wignall a contract as a coach. I will now turn my eyes about a 2nd scouting position against: Andy Weavill Roy Millar Gordon Hill If you want to try to sign any of the listed ones as staff members, you will also have to tell me if you want me to try to sign them as a coach/assistant manager (need to fire your current assistant if you have one) if they do not want a scouting position. Any questions? Ask them here....
This was harder than I thought, none of the staff listed wants to be a scout for me. Note to self: Do not fire the scout you do have Perhaps I need to have lessen the filter of 10/10 in judging ability/potential. Well if I have to do that I don't need a second scout.
Your scout was not finished with his youth search yet, but I will send him to Italy as soon as he get finished (if you do not want to recall him, but he should be finished very soon). Same problem for you as it was with me, there is not much interest in scouting for conference clubs it seems. Of the to mentioned only Bobby Brown turned up as interested, but he was only interested in asst. man or coach, and he was not interested in negotiating a contract for either of those positions.
if you offer any more contracts to youth players and they are after more than 400/month, than offer them 2000 signing bonus too and if they are after more than 800/month affer a 5000 bonus and set my scout to snoop around scottland
As the scout new assignements has started to produce finds, I'll update what the scouts are assigned to: If you see an error, or want a change - post it here: DV - Scout assigned to England Heath - Scout assigned to UK & Ireland Boville - None of the scouts (3) assigned Castor - Scout not assigned Franchise - Scout assigned to Italy Haven - Scout not assigned Nomar - Scout not assigned SF3 - Scout not assigned VOR - Scout assigned to Scotland Puedlfor - Scout not assigned, scouting two youth players Zac - Scout assigned to Scotland VOR - Newspaper rumour that Hartlepool may be on the verge to sign David Hall to a 170K deal DV - Scout recommends Hartlepool forward Tony Lormor (30) as a good signing
how is that rumor possible?? i havnt let anyone even look at him?? is his contract out? what does this mean
Newspaper will make up any crazy rumour they want!! What this means is that there is probably interest from other teams - not that you are willing to sell. Teams can't just buy him - they have to agree with you, or there has to be somthing in his contract. David Hall is signed for the long run - but he do have a relegation release clause - you being last might help speculations that he might be sold in the near future.
