about creating club relationships with two higher clubs

can you say be hull for instance and create a link with a top spanish side like at madrid. i cant seem to create a link in fm 09. is there any word on a different options for affliated clubs in fm10.?

yes you can.

You can't if you're a team like Hull, unless you use the editor.

Firstly, Hulls reputation is such that the Chairman will never allow you to be a Feeder Club to Real Madrid; Real Madrid being your Parent Club. The option simply won't exist and rightly so because a Premier League club would never become a Feeder to a Spanish club.

Secondly, Real Madrids reputation is far too high to ever consider becoming a Feeder Club to Hull.

Once you start an FM game, you can't create 'mutually beneficial' links, theres only Parent and Feeder links, 1 club being the bigger, more reputable club (Parent) and the smaller, less reputable club being it's Feeder. There needs to be a big difference in reputation between the 2 clubs.

By 'mutually beneficial' i mean the deals that were in place in FM08 (i think) that saw Milan and Juventus linked. That wasn't thought of as Parent/Feeder because they're both powerhouses in Serie A. You can create relationships in the pre-game editor however that reflects that kind of arrangement. Or you can create your own Parent/Feeder relationship with loaning and financial payments involved.

You can, but you'd have to use FMRTE to 'cheat'.
