Club Director rejects Parent clubs

I am playing as Bath City in the BSP. For the last 1½ seasons now (since I started) my Club Director have been rejecting looking for a Parent Club.

In all my previous saves, that was never a problem (also with Bath City).

Why would he reject the idea?? .. there is NOTHING to lose for Bath. We would get some cash, a friendly match at home (and we get to keep all the money), and the possibility to have good loanees for free.

I think I asked the board 3 times now, and they have rejected it every time.
